Today was take your daughter (or son) to work today. I loved how this was implemented to make sure lil girls saw the importance of hard work and that there were women in the workplace. It reminds me of not necessarily going to work with mom to actively see what she does. We dropped her off and picked her up as kids. I always remember her being tired and working extremely hard. Extremely hard. Then after dad passed, mom worked harder. I remember her days at caldor, lord and taylor and finally Lipton / Unilever. She was extremely talented in customer service- doing her best and taking time to make sure customers had the best service. While she sometimes got frazzled at the last job (who doesn't)- she would tell some magnificent stories about the things people would do to their food. One particularity funny story was with the product "I can't believe it is not butter" spray. The claim on the packaging is 0 calories per serving. A serving is aprox 5 sprays. So one unstrung woman called to verify how many calories of this spray can she put on her popcorn. Mom replied with the standard serving size. Woman replied what if that is not enough- She needed more butter and it would stand to reason if she dumped the whole everloving bottle on her popcorn it should still amount to 0 calories. Mother insisted that the claim is per serving size and she would effective make herself sick/ probably stop her damn heart if she did that. So mom advised against that. Woman wants to argue her down. Mom said she would note this call and her address in case paramedics are needed later on.
Hilarious.
I miss my mommy.
