As always, we are sponsoring VOA's Adopt-a-Family again this year! Check out this cool e-mail we got about it... Good Morning Murphy and Jo, After coordinating an adopt-a-family effort in my office for the past 5 years, this year my husband and I have adopted a 3 member family ourselves. We are blessed with having everything we need and being able to purchase those extra items that we want. We have told our children and extended family not to give us gifts any longer and we will do the same for them. We completed the shopping for our "family" which included all of the items on their profile sheet plus a few extras like mugs and hot chocolate mix. As I was wrapping the presents last night I realized that I had experienced none of the usual stress feelings from shopping in prior years. Instead I felt only peace and joy knowing that on Christmas morning a family would have the happiness of opening gifts, mostly of things they truly need rather than nothing. This is the most wonderful gift that we could give or receive. Happy Holidays to you and your families! "Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with me . . ." Connie and Randy

TOILET PAPER PERSONALITY TEST (Self magazine) You can tell a lot about a woman by her toilet paper. ONE-PLY – She wants to save trees, her home’s pipes or pennies. She’s also risk-averse, says Stephen Juan, Ph.D., a lecturer in human development at the University of Sydney. TWO-PLY – She’s liberal, relaxed and altruistic, says Juan. She gives all day, so she wants to be pampered. MEGA ROLL – She’s afraid of being caught with her pants down and her roll empty. Or she wants to turn her two-ply into a four-ply experience. PAPER END OVER – She may be pushy or controlling. She wants to be on top in everything in her life, including toilet paper placement. PAPER END UNDER – She’s an extrovert. Or she’s a cat owner. Anyone with a feline knows that an “over” roll will quickly become an empty roll.

Most Influential People Who Never Lived!
BOSSES’ TOP 10 PET PEEVES We’ve all heard employees complain about their bosses. But the manager/employee relationship is just that, a relationship. Author John Putzier, who was a recruiter for 10 years, talked to employers and employees at various companies to compile info for his book, “Weirdos in the Workplace: The New Normal.” Here are some choice gripes bosses had about difficult employees: 1. Abuse of sick leave: This is a hot button for many bosses. According to Putzier, recent studies cite that one out of three employees who calls in sick really isn't. That sure makes it hard for the boss to plan when and how the work will get done. 2. Poor hygiene: A bar of soap and tube of toothpaste can go a long way in improving relationships at the office. If you wonder how people know it's you before you've even rounded the corner, you may want to kick your personal hygiene routine up a notch. 3. Out-of-control cubicles: It's great that you have a thing for troll dolls, but when your decorative enhancements spill over and out of your cube, it's time to tone things down a bit. 4. Unorthodox noises: You may think it's cute that your computer quacks every time you click your mouse, but before long, you can bet your boss will need to step in to stop your co-workers from cooking your goose. 5. Obnoxious cell phone behavior: It is never appropriate to receive multiple personal cell phone calls at work. Don't force bosses to eavesdrop on your cell conversations to ensure they're work-related. They've got plenty of other things to do. 6. Extended smoking breaks: When smoking breaks become too long and frequent, you force your manager to keep tabs on your whereabouts constantly. It's a workplace, not a day care. 7. Lousy table manners: Nothing irks your boss more than displaying poor table manners during a luncheon meeting with a client. It's embarrassing, and it reflects poorly on the quality of people at your company. 8. Selling your wares at the office: It starts out innocently enough. ... Alice brings little Suzie's Girl Scout cookie order form to work. Then Bill counters with an Amway catalog. Next it's Maria with her Bike-a-thon sponsorship request. Before you know it, the office is transformed into an exotic open air market with everyone raucously hawking their wares. 9. Red vs. blue states: It's great that you're an involved citizen who campaigned for your candidate. But leave the political bumper stickers and buttons at home when you go to work. Your boss doesn't want to be the mediator of the political debates you start in the office. 10. The office sourpuss: Nothing gets under a boss' skin like the chronic complainer. Your company gives out bonuses -- the sourpuss complains it's not enough. Your manager is delighted to let his team know he just landed a great new account -- the sourpuss complains about the impending workload. Don't be a drain on the office. Lighten up.
