Can hardly wait...

Friday. Finally. It's been a crazy week. More detail to follow Monday.

I got home early. I started with a beer and cigar. Around 5 pm John Fortin showed up. He needed to borrow my indoor bike trainer for an 8 hour indoor ride for charity. My trainer is definitely available for anyone that wants to borrow it until next year. I've done my indoor riding quota.

John hung around for a few beers. When you get two sales people together, it spells great stories. It was awesome energy and fun. John is in amazing shape. I thought I was talking to an 18 year old. Every time I see John, he keeps getting skinner, taller and stronger.

Tonight I gave Nazaire a bad time again. This time with kid gloves. Last time I went Sergeant Hulka on his ass. It was about 4 weeks ago and he still hasn't got a job. He was asking me things like how to answer interview questions. He's applied at a few jobs and hasn't got the job.

I asked him to tell me a typical question he was getting. He thought hard, then said he went for a window washing job and they asked him what he saw himself doing in 5 years. He answered it with some esoteric answer, "I want to be happy and doing the best I can, blah, blah, blah". He asked me how I should have answered it.

Before I could have answered it, Alice gave him the answer, "tell them that you want to be the best window washer in the world in 5 years". It was a great answer.

I was patient with Nazaire tonight. I finally said that I'm going to help him get a job. Tomorrow at 9:30 am, we are going to walk to local businesses around his house and I'm going to help get him a job. We are going to interview together. I'm going to be his agent.

I asked him to tell me what type of job he wants because that's the one I'm going to get him. I told him I want him up early to make me breakfast and then I WILL find him a job. He looked SICK to his stomach. I think Nazaire is allergic to work. He slinked away from me and I thought he was going to throw up. This is going to be an adventure and MAJOR FUN!!!

I can hardly wait till tomorrow. I guarantee I'll find a job for Nazaire. No boyfriend of my daughter is going to be a deadbeat.

Later in the evening, Reid had to show me his progress and big muscles. I included the video.

Good luck with the job hunting tomorrow.Wonder who must worry the most Nazaire or the people interviewing you.

Must say with every video clip Reid is looking more in shape and leaner than before. Keep up the good work Reid, that $1000 is yours.

Poor Nazaire, I can just imagine the interviews! ;)

Now, I am on Reid's side on the $1000 win, so I need to ask, why is Reid doing 'girl' style press ups? I'm sure that he could do a real one, and from there he could shock you.

Reid, You are looking better and better every video, and I'm sure you are feeling better too! I hope your dad isn't spending that $1000 bucks on beer, cuz it's your money soon!!

J, thanks. It should be adventure. Yeah we noticed that too. His weight is the same but he looks thinner.

JM, Poor Nazaire....yes, he is poor. No job. haha. I'll have to try those pushups he was doing. I thought they were harder than normal ones. I'll get back to you on that one.

L, Thanks. I passed along your message to Reid. I told him your 23 years old and looking and he should get in shape to impress. haha.

V, no kidding. I love it. haha.

Catching up on blogs this morning... LOL The job hunt had me rolling, and the video topped it off!!! Tell Reid he looks like he lost quite a bit of weight already and unfortunately his pushups don't count... gotta get the boobs on the floor to count them, feel the burn buddy!

Also, why did you shut the video off right when he was gonna deck you?! HAHA love it!
