Locked Out Gnome Gives CBC Employee Excuse to Hang With Hooters Girls

DSC00645.jpg

We don’t really understand all the details and legalities but this really big Canadian company, CBC, is having this thing called a lock out which, for some weird reason, has put everyone out of a job. Someone said it has to do with some kind of contract negotiation but that’s not what’s important. What is important is Pedro the Locked Out Gnome. Rather than appear in people garden’s as most gnomes do, poor Pedro, who used to work for CBC has been forced to hit the street and appear in pictures with other equally unfortunate souls including, for some odd reason, Hooters waitresses. Oh well, this is advertising after all.

I spent fifty years thinking I was just introverted and preferred my own company — until I turned 73 and realized I actually do want connection, I just never developed the skills to build it and now I don’t know where to start

The difference between people who command respect and people who beg for it comes down to what they do in the first ten seconds after someone crosses a boundary

People who return borrowed items in better condition than they received them — cleaned, refueled, or with a small gift attached — aren’t trying to impress anyone, they’re operating from a worldview where generosity should flow uphill toward the person who trusted you, not downhill where it’s expected
