New Hires

38 Comments

Early last week in the grocery store, Husband and I ran into a couple we have know for years who are famer/ranchers and live in a small town near ours. They are truly salts of the earth, having been foster parents for decades, raising their own large family and adopting a couple of their foster kids, working as school bus drivers, and maintaining their ranch. They are near retirement now, as are we. Frank, the rancher, asked me what I was going to do after I was done working. Frank is a really funny fellow, and said that he heard that Trump was considering me for a cabinet post. I told him that my criminal record would prevent any such appointment, and Frank said that probably made me a shoo-in.

The cabinet picks continued all week, becoming increasingly and astoundingly weird, even that of our own Governor as Secretary of Energy. It seems like anyone, no matter how inappropriate, could be a contender. This got me to thinking who the Baboons would nominate for cabinet posts.

Make some interesting cabinet picks. What posts do you think fellow Baboons would do a good job at? Know any foster parents?

  2. Rise and Shine, Baboons,

    This will be food for thought all day, and what fun! Being a secretary was a low point in my life because I lacked skills and visual accuracy. ( I was hired despite this because I was cute and had good legs and mini-skirts. My guess is that in the new administration those qualities still might be actively sought). But then that was the clerical kind of secretary, rather than the executive skills of governmental agencies.

    So far I have several:

    tim: Secretary of Marketing and Sales(Economic Development)
    Renee: Secretary of Long Distance Driving (Transportation)
    Bill: Secretary of Art and Design

    1. OT: VS I finished the puzzle you brought to Blevins, and in the final process of fitting pieces found one chewed piece (possibly the dog?) and one missing entirely. Did you hold back one piece of the eaves troughs or did Phoebe eat that one entirely?

      1. YA actually found a puzzle piece under the tv a couple of days ago – I’m pretty sure it goes to the one I gave you. Do you want it before the Great Gift Exchange?

  3. Although the British government has different names, all of the 45 picks should be disposed of accordingly.
    In that vein, I choose for myself The Ministry Of Silly Walks.
