Setting a goal

Boss:  Happygirl you need to set a goal for yourself this year.
Me:  Ok, I will.
Boss:  So, what is your goal?
Me:  I’d like to take a creative writing class.
Boss:  Oh?  How would that apply to your job?
Me:  I think it will make next year’s annual budget report a real page turner.

I'm linking with G-man for a Friday Flash 55

625.  Juice making with my son this morning
626.  Oyster Festival (nothing better than a belly full of beer and oysters)
627.  Leaves tuning colors and starting to fall
628.  Apartment hunting (aka as dreaming of a place on the beach)
629.  Waking myself to reality and being satisfied with what I have

    I think that is a wonderful goal and you're well on your way to being a creative writer because that was funny.

    HG....
    You take a Creative Writing class Every Friday, and as of today, you are carrying a grade of A+...
    Loved your 55.
    And I also LOVE Oysters boiled, steamed, raw, stewed, stuffed, smoked, Rockefellered, canned, and the shells make GREAT ash trays!
    Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End

    Hi! It seems to me you've got that creative writing part down, but the inspiration of learning from others is always worth the time.

     He said yes.  Now I've got to convince the professor to let me in the class.

    I think you show great perspicacity and should be promoted instantly. Great 55.
