Those of you who follows my blogs probably know I’ve been using a free website offered by Weebly.com. Recently, Weebly informed me they will no longer continue letting me post my blog for free. I don’t yet know how much they want to charge under one of their other plans, but I don’t want to pay anything. I’m retired, so I don’t have spare change to spend on my blog, nor am I using my blog to earn money. I don’t have many followers and very few visitors. So, this will be my last post on Weebly.com.

To those who have faithfully followed my blog, monteranderson-author.com, I’m sorry. I invite to follow my other blog, monteranderson.wordpress.com. I’ll use it until they start charging me.

I’ll continue to post my blog on Linked In at linkin.com/in/monteranderson, if you want to continue to follow me.

I will continue to post my Wisdom from and Old Man on Twitter, Facebook and other social media.
Thanks for following me. Live long and prosper.

A few years ago, I read with interest an article on Google+ from the Resume Writer for You community titled, “Things you should never say to your boss.” They listed the following:

1. I want a raise.
2. It’s not my problem.
3. I don’t do over time.
4. I don’t know.
5. I can’t work with…

 
I retired in 2011 after two careers and working most of life, and I can say that that list isn’t even close to what you shouldn’t say or ask your boss.

​Here’s my list of what you should never, ever ask your boss:

1. Ask for a date,
2. Ask if it’s okay to bring your AK47 to work so you can clean it during your lunch break.
3. Ask if the boss is happy with the current drug dealer.
4. Ask if you can use the copy machine for pornography.
5. Ask if you should respond to the Nigerian financial opportunity.
6. Ask if you come in late, can you go home early.
7. Ask if it’s okay to have a clothing optional day.
8. Ask how old the boss’ daughter (or son) is.
9. Ask if the boss is using birth control.
10. Ask if that is the boss’ real hair.

In addition, you should never tell your boss that he’s an idiot or his ideas are stupid.
I hope this will help you get along with your boss in the workplace.

I thought today I would debunk all the various #myths about butts (asses):
1. Some people have their “head up their ass.” Not true. You can try this at home. No way will your head fit up your butt or anyone else’s butt. It’s intended to mean that some people cann’t see something right in front of them or they are stupid.
2. Some things are “half assed.” Okay, this one’s true. People can live with half an ass just like they can with half a brain. Of course, they must be careful not to fall into the toilet. In some cases, surgeons might remove half an ass. In normal cases, individuals have been known to lose half their ass on a diet or gambling, unless the ass is like a donkey.
3. People may say that they “lost their ass” in an investment or gambling. Not true. No one would want to accept an ass as an investment or a wager. 
4. It is possible to get an “ass chewing.” Okay, this one is true too but not the way you think. While it is possible to eat an ass, it is not recommended except in extreme circumstances. However, in the case of consenting adults in the privacy of their bedroom, some ass chewing may occur.
5. Some people are “butt heads” or “ass holes.” Not true - heads and butts are not interchangeable parts in spite of what some surgeons might say. The butt has no brain. Stupid people should correctly be called “brain dead”, “clueless” or “thoughtless” but “butt head” or “ass hole” is simply not correct. While it’s possible to “butt heads” (note the use of “butt” as a verb) with someone, that is an entirely different thing and usually ends in one of the parties being injured or fired.
6. It is possible to “kick ass” or “kick butt.” This is true. This phenomenon happens often in professional sports. It shouldn’t be taken literally, but sometimes people do need a swift kick in the pants.
7. Some people are “ass kissers” or “brown nosers.” This one is also true but not in the way most people think. The common misperception is that it applies to a worker who kisses up to the boss. It would be rare if there was any real “ass kissing” taking place. Real “ass kissing” takes in the bedroom between consenting adults (read #4, reference “ass chewing” above). “Brown nosers” are really “ass kissers” who have gone too deep or missed the mark.
 
I hope this helps everyone to clear up the misconceptions and myths about butts.
