Who Are You? - Bradley Charles


Hey there! So guess what?? I was able to wrangle, rope, secure 🤔? Yeah, let's go with that SECURE another interviewee for my new series WHO ARE YOU? Tonight's guest is Mr. Bradley Charles (don't you just love a man with 2 first names? LOL)

 Mackgurl: Good evening, Mr. Charles.
Mr. Charles: Good evening and please, call me Bradley.
Mackgurl: (Hmm, Bradley huh? Not Brad? Interesting): Thank you, Bradley. So what do you do?
Bradley: I work for the Social Security Administration.
Mackgurl: Nice! Do you like your job?
Bradley: I love my job.
Mackgurl: Yeah, that's great! What does one who works for the Social Security Administration (man that's a mouthful) do on a daily? Oh and what do you like about what you do?
Bradley: I award benefits to those who have been disabled. It's rewarding to know that what you do helps them find relief. You may hear about wait times but I try really hard to get the job done right the first time.
Mackgurl: Wow! That sounds like an important and very worthwhile job to have. It has to feel great to help someone like that.
Bradley: Absolutely!
Mackgurl: Tell me, Brad - I'm sorry, Bradley how long have you worked for the Social Security Administration?
Bradley: I have been there for 4 years.
Mackgurl: Okay, so I know what you like about the job - helping others find relief - but tell me, between you and me (smile) what don't you like about the job?
Bradley: LOL, hmm...What I don't like are the attorneys and their demands. They push, push and push. But they are trying to get awards but as much of the benefits as they can.
Mackgurl: Yikes! I can see how that could definitely be frustrating. I'm glad there are employees like you who go the extra mile to help their clients for the sake of the clients...
Bradley: Thanks, Mackgurl.
Mackgurl: Well, Bradley, it's been real and informative. Thank you so much for taking the time to chat with me this evening.
Bradley: You're welcome. My pleasure.
Mackgurl: Say Bradley, before I let you go, I have one more question for you...WHO ARE YOU?
Bradley: Who am I? I am more than the sum of the parts. I am strategic and calculating. I wear my feelings on my sleeve. Dallas Cowboys for Life!!!

 Well there you have it Guys & Dolls...the second installment of the WHO ARE YOU? series. My thanks to Bradley Charles for letting me borrow him for this interview.

 If you know someone who you think would be a good interview - or heck, if you'd like me to interview you, drop me a line at mackgurl@gmail.com.

 Smooches,
Mackgurl

Work It

I found an old photo of me from many moons ago. I'm talking acid washed jeans, big glasses, big hair - the whole 9 yards. It's just a casual shot - me and a friend chilling on the couch (uh, no I don't plan to post it LOL) - but it got me thinking about yester-year or days of old (sheesh, that sounds kinda knightly)...You know, those days when your biggest worries included "are the quarter pounder combos on sale this week? Is HE going to ask me out? For Prom??" (HE didn't but I went to prom anyway and had a BLAST!) This is also about the time I got my first taste of adulthood - A JOB! A real one! Like actually doing things for someone other than my parents and grandparents in order to maintain my allowance (yes, I was one of those kids). Employee ID, Clock-In/Out, an actual check - shoot couldn't tell me nothing. I was a working WOMAN after all (okay so a working TEEN but still, LOL)  Guess where I worked? No, go ahead I'll wait... Time's u...

You Don't Have To be so mean

Someone asked me the other day " hey, don't you ever get tired of being so happy and positive all the time? How can you be so NICE?" I was thrown! Ok maybe not completely since I've heard a little about this before. "You always have a smile on your face...you're so happy...you're so NICE to EVERYBODY...I really like talking to you...thank you for being so kind...-it's rare" Even though I've heard these comments before, it still surprises me a little. Not that people think I'm nice but that so many people experience the opposite - often enough that they are shocked enough to comment. Makes you, ok me, wonder why are so many people not nice? Just plain old mean? How do they get that way? Can't make me believe that people are born that way...hmm course i have a seen pictures of newborn babies with some pretty mean mugs. Looking like they've been here before and experienced all the atrocities of life ALREADY!  But really - why?  ...

Very Superstitious

Do you think black cats portend bad tidings? Are you triskaidekaphobic (fear of the number 13)? Growing up, I used to hear all sorts of things that were supposedly bad luck or could bring on something that you'd rather not, well, bring on. There was the one about walking under a ladder...or how many of you remember that little ditty about stepping on a crack and breaking your Mama's back? Yeah? I thought you might LOL  I asked a few people about any superstitions that they may have heard/been told. Not all of them are omens of doom and gloom. Some are kinda funny and some you might even want to have happen. Like this first one: If palm of your left hand is itching, you're going to receive some money.       Okay, that's a superstition that I can deal with. Now don't go rubbing your left hand on poison ivy to make your palm itchy to get money. The only thing you're going to do is end up with itchy palms that will spread and have you bathing in oatmeal and ch...
