Order!

Use the following words in today's write. Any form of the word is acceptable.

people, professional, family, memory, bagel sock, plug, tube, toy, local, tool, cord,


"My goodness people! Can't you be a little more professional? This is not a family reunion. Here is not where we talk about Timmy's lost sock, or Aunt Millie's failing memory, or Grandma Moses' award-winning recipe for bagels." It was the third time he'd tried to get their attention and this time he succeeded only because he used a microphone.

"Now who has the posters for the local toy fair plug that airs on the tube next month?"

Silence.

"We forgot to bring the posters? Or we don't have them at all?"

If anyone said there were no posters he was going to pull the cord from the monitor and simply hang himself with it. It was simply too much to be asked to put together an important presentation tool with a group who didn't seem to care one way or another if anything got done period, let alone done right. And they wanted to become advertising executives. Dream on. All they were about to becomes was unemployed.
