Unique Idea for Celebrating Father’s Day<\/h3>\n

Contributed by Ann Heatherton<\/p>\n

You still have a few days to hold a last minute Father’s Day morale booster. This is what Ann wrote about what she did:<\/p>\n

To celebrate Father’s Day one year, I held a baseball ticket drawing (4 tickets, parking and Stadium Club passes included).<\/p>\n

To enter the drawing, I asked employees to share thoughts about their dads or about fatherhood. I got many thoughtful and heartwarming responses.<\/p>\n

All of it was posted on the employee -ShareBoard- which featured chocolate brown and gold posterboard with coordinating scrapbook pages and cocoa\/green\/blue yarn for texture.<\/p>\n

One employee even emailed me an ultrasound of his baby which was due any time. (I posted it of course.)<\/p>\n

And to think at one time I didn’t believe they would ever learn to share.<\/p>\n

Q. What ology is the study of wine?<\/p>\n

A. oenology<\/p>\n

Joke of the Week<\/h4>\n

As manager of a video store belonging to a major chain, I often helped customers who had trouble hooking up rented video-game systems. One morning a co-worker held out the phone as I arrived.<\/p>\n

She had been on the line for nearly an hour, trying to get a customer’s system to work. Desperate, the customer now begged me to make a house call.<\/p>\n

I agreed to go, and upon arrival, I verified all the feeds and connections, turned on the television and was greeted by the start-up screen.<\/p>\n

“Oh, thank you,” she said. “How did you fix it?” Her ten-year-old son, who had been watching me like a hawk as I worked, was quick to respond: “He turned on the television, Mom.”<\/p>\n

Needless to say, we added that step to our checklist.<\/p>\n
