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

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

  Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN.  He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi...

Being Strong Is Not for the Weak

Sometimes you may get tired and fed up. I mean come on, life has a way of testing you…and I mean way worse than any pop quiz you might have had. Sometimes the test starts small. Broke a nail after a fresh manicure? Hit your shin on the corner of the bed? (ouch). Then maybe it ramps up to you dropping your brand new cell phone face down on the pavement…while trying to put on the screen protector. Ugh! That sucks, right? Then there are household bills...sure you have some, right?  Yeah, they eat away a good chunk of your paycheck but you’re managing. Then a major appliance dies…then some shingles fall off your roof.. Sucks but ok. It seems like one thing after another after another. Sigh... but somehow you’re standing strong and making do, holding on. And then…car issues start happening…flat tires, brakes need replacing and then transmission blows! What?!! But you’ve got to be strong right? You’re an adult and you can and have to deal with these things. You can manage, right? Yeah? ...

Lessons Learned

You know, some people are just born lucky. No wait- hear me out! There are those people who could eat their weight in pizza and burgers and never gain an ounce...or worse, lose a pound or two. There are those people who can read a book once- cover to cover, mind you - and be able to site it word for word, down to the page the section came from. (Wouldn't that be a nifty skill to have around exam time?) There are those people who always seem to have the best EVERYTHING - families, jobs, homes, cars, wardrobes, dogs, friends, parking spaces! The list is endless. And there are those who for whatever reason, they never seem to encounter a time when things truly go wrong. Am I one of these people? Do any of the above fit the description of my life? With the exception of having the best family - cause let's face I do - nope. And is that okay? No, it's GREAT! If life was perfect, with no ups and downs, goodness how boring would that be? What stories would I have to tell ...
