Tuesday Tidbits

Just a few early week tidbits for you.

Things have been going well in Rick and Roz land lately.  Dd has been present but there hasn't been much happening, because there hasn't had to be seeing as I'm such an angel.  Things have been smooth sailing.  No spanking here.  Nope.

Oh wait - there was one little spanking Friday night.  It was short, sharp and to the point.  (I'm only telling you this because Wilma will tattle on me if I don't!  Besides, lying isn't allowed :)

I'm afraid Scrappy resurfaced on Friday.  Yep, I was tired and therefore grumpy and I got my Scrappy on.  Not in a big way, but enough to agitate the Boss.  On top of that, I took my seat belt off before he had stopped the car for the umpteenth time.  Honestly, this is something he has become serious about recently and he has given me a few warnings.  It's a bad habit.  I mean, we're always actually parked before I take it off, he just hasn't turned the engine off yet - sheesh!  Yeah, I know - that's not the point.

Anyway, within about 5 minutes of getting home Rick grabbed my arm, walked over to the couch and without a word pulled me over his lap.  It took me by complete surprise.  When I told him so afterwards his only response was "good" (big meanie!).

Before he started spanking he told me we had spoken several times about the seat belt issue and that hopefully this will remind me.  He also said "and keep Scrappy at bay" - Grrr - the nerve!

Blog Land Candy Store

This week we celebrate the grand opening of our very own Blog Land Candy Store!  Stocked full with an international range of candies and chocolates.  Hooray!

You don't want to miss it.  Besides, who can't do with some candy?  It's not too late to join the opening celebrations.  I hear they have lots of good opening specials.  Oh, while you're there, make sure you also check out the other merchandise on offer :)  Before you ask - NO, this doesn't include implements!

Congratulations and many thanks to our beloved store owner Wilma Rubble!

If you have done so already, pop on over and say hi - with me - without me

Work/Dd Comparison

Yesterday I was sitting in a meeting bored out of my brains and couldn't help but think how much my work life sometimes reminds me of my Dd life.

Every year or so we complete a staff engagement survey.  This is to see how engaged we are with the organisation.  How much of an affiliation we have for the place, whether we are 'on board' with the direction the organisation is taking etc.  Once the survey is completed, the results are poured over and action plans (another buzz word) are made to make some changes to help us all feel more engaged.

Is it just me or does this sound like role affirmation/maintenance to anyone?

There are other ways in which my work reminds me of my Dd relationship as well. For example, we have staff processes one must follow to the letter.  Rules if you like. If, for any reason you should want to act outside of those rules, there is a process to follow, which includes obtaining permission from those who made the rules.  We are also all about 'consistency' in how we treat our customers.

Hmm, I don't know if I really want to think about this too much!

HoH'ing the HoH

Today Rick had his ears suctioned.  Ewe I know, and you're probably also thinking that's a bit TMI but bear with me people.

This is something he unfortunately has to have done on a semi regular basis.  He always goes back to the same place, the same technician attends to him and he always leaves it too late between visits.

He came back from the appointment today firstly complaining about the level of noise (give me strength!)  He then said he got a right telling off from the technician from leaving it too long between visits.  She very firmly said "didn't I tell you that you should come back every 6 months?"  ... um, yes Ma'am.  Apparently the lecture continued a little beyond that and then we he left she said in a very authoritative tone "I will see you in 6 months".

I just couldn't help laughing when he told me this.  Boy, I'd love to have been a fly on the wall!!


That's all the tidbits I have for you for now.  Have great rest of the week everyone!
