Who Are You? - Dexter


Heyyyy!! I am on a roll - ok not a HUGE roll...maybe more like a small dinner roll... šŸ¤”Anywho, I have another interview for my new series WHO ARE YOU? Tonight's guest is Dexter. Yep, that's it - just Dexter...a man with only one name...

 Mackgurl: Good evening, Mr. Dexter.
Mr. Dexter:  Good evening and it's just Dexter.
Mackgurl:  Okaaayyy Dexter. Pleasure to meet you. So tell me, what do you do?
Dexter: I am a payroll specialist.
Mackgurl: Nice! So you're who people call on when there's a problem or something that they want to change for a company's payroll department? I bet there are tons of reports. Am I close?
Dexter: Yes, to a certain extent. My job includes prelim and final benefits and payroll reports, allocation of funds, creating/reviewing spreadsheets (I knew itšŸ˜) all in keeping in line with state and federal guidelines and policies.
Mackgurl: How long have you been doing this job?
Dexter: Two months
Mackgurl: Oh okay so still in the honeymoon stage as it were.
Dexter: LOL yes, that's right.
Mackgurl: What do you like most about what you do?
Dexter: The opportunity for growth and advancement are very strong here.
Mackgurl: Ahhh have your eye on a corner office? Your own division? Hmmm??? Sheesh you will need a decent size desk for that office. You're fairly tall? What, 6'1?
Dexter: LOL, 6'2
Mackgurl:  Ahhh so not going to touch on the desire for that corner office, huh? Alright, Alright, we'll let that one go...for now LOL So what do you like least about your job?
Dexter: Hmm, the thing that I like the least is the over abundance of systems. At times, it can make a simple - or what could be simple - process very complicated. This is time consuming for the specialist, as well as the customer.
Mackgurl: Gotcha. Why have 12 systems that you have to communicate with, in sequence,  for something easily handled with say, 3?
Dexter: Exactly!
Mackgurl: Well, it certainly sounds like you have a clear handle on your new position as a payroll specialist. Heck, you already have ideas on how to streamline the processes! I'm sure that corner office will be yours in no time *wink*
Dexter: LOL, you're something else
Mackgurl:  So they tell me, so they tell me. Seriously though, I want to thank you so much for letting me borrow you for this interview. I truly appreciate you taking the time to chat with me today.
Dexter: My pleasure. Thank you for having me.
Mackgurl:  NowI have one more question before you go...but it's the one question that I and my readers really want to have you answer...WHO ARE YOU?
Dexter: Who am I?  That's a great question. I am a father...a man...a lover...and a true friend.
Mackgurl: Very nice...

 Well there you have it dudes and dudettes..the third installment of the WHO ARE YOU? series. My thanks to Dexter 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.

 Kisses,
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...

Who are you? - Tra

I’m admittedly curious about, well, quite a few things. But perhaps I am the most interested in people. Why they do the things they do…their likes, dislikes, dreams and aspirations. Sooooooo I figured, why not ask a few people a few things about themselves. I’m going to try to convince , cajole, coerce ,  beg , ask a few people to take a few minutes to talk about their favorite subject - THEMSELVES. This is the first in what I hope will be many entries in the series   WHO ARE YOU? My first victim , guinea pig, test subject, guest is Tra.   I had the pleasure of interviewing him this afternoon. Here’s what he had to say: Mackgurl: Tra,thank you for agreeing to chat with me today. Tra: My pleasure. Mackgurl: Okay so no pressure just a few questions to help us learn about you. Ready? Tra: Ready Mackgurl: Great! First question. - What do you do? And by that I mean, for a living? Tra: I sell Kirby vacuums. Mackgurl: A salesman! Very nice! How...

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?  ...
