LOST AND FOUND PETS:
This is just hysterical:

Our friend and Head Big Cheese around here Steve Powers went on vacation and when he got back, this is what was in his office. Cups and cups of Red Beans and Rice!!!

And when he finally got to his desk, he looked up and saw these giant marshmallows on the ceiling.

Investigation is underway. We will see who "gets let go" soon :)
What kind of prank have your coworkers played on you?

Shelby Mitchell and Brad Paisley, 2010
Brad Paisley's new album "Wheelhouse" is out today. There's a song on it called "Accidental Racist", which is causing controversy because some people think it doesn't take slavery seriously enough. Oh, and LL Cool J raps on it. (The song tells the story of a guy in Starbucks who has to apologize because someone gets offended that his Lynyrd Skynyrd t-shirt has a Confederate flag on it.) The chorus says he's, quote, "caught between Southern pride and Southern blame."
Brad says it's more about moving on from the past. Dan and I agree with Brad and we like where it is going! Here are the lyrics below. what do you think?
~Shelby
To the man that waited on me at the Starbucks down on Main, I hope you understand
When I put on that t-shirt, the only thing I meant to say is I’m a Skynyrd fan
The red flag on my chest somehow is like the elephant in the corner of the south
And I just walked him right in the room
Just a proud rebel son with an ‘ol can of worms
Lookin’ like I got a lot to learn but from my point of view
I’m just a white man comin’ to you from the southland
Tryin’ to understand what it’s like not to be
I’m proud of where I’m from but not everything we’ve done
And it ain’t like you and me can re-write history
Our generation didn’t start this nation
We’re still pickin’ up the pieces, walkin’ on eggshells, fightin’ over yesterday
And caught between southern pride and southern blame
They called it Reconstruction, fixed the buildings, dried some tears
We’re still siftin’ through the rubble after a hundred-fifty years
I try to put myself in your shoes and that’s a good place to begin
But it ain’t like I can walk a mile in someone else’s skin
‘Cause I’m a white man livin’ in the southland
Just like you I’m more than what you see
I’m proud of where I’m from but not everything we’ve done
And it ain’t like you and me can re-write history
Our generation didn’t start this nation
And we’re still paying for mistakes
That a bunch of folks made long before we came
And caught between southern pride and southern blame
Dear Mr. White Man, I wish you understood
What the world is really like when you’re livin’ in the hood
Just because my pants are saggin’ doesn’t mean I’m up to no good
You should try to get to know me, I really wish you would
Now my chains are gold but I’m still misunderstood
I wasn’t there when Sherman’s March turned the south into firewood
I want you to get paid but be a slave I never could
Feel like a new fangled Django, dodgin’ invisible white hoods
So when I see that white cowboy hat, I’m thinkin’ it’s not all good
I guess we’re both guilty of judgin’ the cover not the book
I’d love to buy you a beer, conversate and clear the air
But I see that red flag and I think you wish I wasn’t here
I’m just a white man
(If you don’t judge my do-rag)
Comin’ to you from the southland
(I won’t judge your red flag)
Tryin’ to understand what it’s like not to be
I’m proud of where I’m from
(If you don’t judge my gold chains)
But not everything we’ve done
(I’ll forget the iron chains)
it ain’t like you and me can re-write history
(Can’t re-write history baby)
Oh, Dixieland
(The relationship between the Mason-Dixon needs some fixin’)
I hope you understand what this is all about
(Quite frankly I’m a black Yankee but I’ve been thinkin’ about this lately)
I’m a son of the new south
(The past is the past, you feel me)
And I just want to make things right
(Let bygones be bygones)
Where all that’s left is southern pride
(RIP Robert E. Lee but I’ve gotta thank Abraham Lincoln for freeing me, know what I mean)
It’s real, it’s real
It’s truth
Brad's website: https://bradpaisley.com/music/songs/accidental-racist
More links talking about the song: Hairpin.com believes the song is filled with, quote, "Awkward non-apologies over the history of racism in the south." Gawker.com re-posted that review, and that brought out tons of "brilliant" opinions in their comments section.

Girls' Room chit chat with Shelby--->
Are you tried jazzing up your phone with fancy cases, stickers, and every other kind of bling?
Well now there's a new way to spice up that smartphone – and it's a little strange.
They're called smart pants, and they're basically underwear for your phone, (with a the front part covering up the "home button.")
Why would you put this on your phone? Not sure. but I think it would be great conversation starter, even if it is a litle weird!
Shelby
p.s. Listen as we introduce @95KSJdatinggirl (follow her on Twitter) in Thursday's segment!!!

Here are four ways to make your Mondays more tolerable.
#1.) Dress Up. You probably can't do anything about what you've got on TODAY. But wearing your best outfit makes you more confident. And just looking like you're ready for work tends to make you FEEL more ready for work.
#2.) Do Something Nice for Someone. Or do something nice for the whole office, like bringing donuts to work. Research has shown that one of the best ways to improve your mood is to make someone ELSE happy.
#3.) Prepare for Monday on Friday. If there's something at work that you dread doing on Mondays, get a head start on Friday if you can.
--That way you'll lighten your workload. And you'll be able to relax all weekend, because you'll know you have an easier Monday than usual ahead of you.
#4.) Make a List of Things You're Excited for This Week. It doesn't even have to be work-related. Just write down three things you're looking forward to . . . like your favorite TV show, or having drinks with friends.
--That way, you'll remind yourself of some GOOD stuff that's coming up, and you won't just concentrate on how awful Mondays are.
--In fact, some people suggest ALWAYS making plans for Monday night. Because then you'll start thinking of Mondays as a "special" day, not just the beginning of the workweek.
