Georgie is anticipating a highly gratifying day...
I have a feeling this is gonna bee a very buzzy, but very gratifying day.
After my first Feature Thingy (“Georgie’s Tips, Ties and Tittle Tattle) came out yesterday, I was sure that I’m gonna hafta deal with a bunch of autograph Seekers today, and other Curiosity Seekers who just wanna have a chance to meet me and bee in my presence.
Since I don’t want a bunch of Readers trampling through our Boot Box, I decided to set up a table by my front door where all my Readers can come and get my autograph and spend a few, precious seconds basking in the presence of literary and journalistic greatness.
Of course, I can’t just sit here all day like that. I’m a buzzy bee and my time is precious. Beesides, since I don’t work on weekends I hafta get buzzy on next Thursday’s Feature Thingy by tonight so I can deliver that to my Editor on Monday. So, I taught Bert how to properly sign my name, and he’s gonna sit there all day and sign autographs on my beehalf.
It’s nice to have a robot around, mostly.
My Illegitimate Nephew, Kevin - enterprising bee that he is - set up a table right next to mine, and said, “I’m sure there will bee swarms of Autograph Seekers, uncle, so I’m going to sell Freshly Unsqueezed, Ice Cold and Refreshing Nectarade, along with Great Grandma Gee Gee’s Royal Honeychew Krisp Cookies. I plan to make a fortune. It’s hot out, and everybody will bee exceedingly thirsty and hungry from having to wait in those long lines to get your autograph, so I’m sure we will bee doing a brisk business.”
And that’s a good thing, since Kevin is still looking for a new job and really needs the honey.
So that’s what we’ve been doing since early this morning.
Of course, nobody’s showed up yet, but I think it’s still early.
In the meantime, there was a message from my Editor waiting for me this morning. It said he needs me to bee in his Office first thing Monday morning - or else. (I gotta say: that’s a very unpleasant way to start a perfectly good Monday, ya’ know what I mean?), but I’m pretty sure he’s as excited as everybody else is to see what I’ve come up with for next Thursday, so maybee it won’t bee so bad.
Anyway, I’d better go get to work on that. I don’t wanna disappoint anybody. Especially my Editor, ya’ know?
I hope everybody has a magnificently splendid weekend!
I’ll see ya’ on Monday!
How exciting is THIS? . . .
Gooooood Morning, everybody!
It’s HERE! The day we’ve all been waiting for!
It’s Thursday - and time for the first instalment
of my new Weekly Feature Thingy!
I hope this helps add to your phenomenally enlightened day!
I’ll see ya’ later!
PS: Bee sure to send all your Glowing Praise to my Editor! (He needs to hear from my loyal, faithful, loving Readers about how lucky he is to have me. Probably.
Georgie chills while we wait for his new Weekly Feature to start...
I’m so excited! Just one more day beefore my first Weekly Feature Thingy, “Tips, Ties and Tittle Tattle” appears in the Bee Times Gazette Journal Record…and Online News!
I know my loyal, faithful, loving Readers have been anxiously waiting for this. I can already almost hear all the compliments and praise I’ll bee receiving for this. I wonder if maybee I’ll win an award. I should, beecause it’s just that good. Probably.
I just hope I didn’t misspel anything.
So today, I’m gonna do exactly what I did yesterday: relax.
I have a feeling that I’m gonna need to save up my strength for all the autographs I’ll hafta sign after my first Weekly Feature Thingy appears tomorrow. (Hey. It’s the price of popularity and fame, probably.)
Okay then. I hope everybody has a massively superior day!
I’ll see ya’ later!
Guess we'll have to wait until Thursday to find out what Georgie's Editor is so upset about...
So I’m pleased to report that I was able to change the first issue of my new Weekly Feature Thingy for the Hive newspaper. I even got it to my Editor beefore the end of buzziness yesterday. I was completely sure he’d bee pleased with the changes.
He wasn’t. Not even a little bit.
He looked at it, then said, “No. You just don’t get it, do you?”
“Yeah, I think I do, probably” I said, feeling pretty sure I got it.
“Well, you don’t, Bee. Unfortunately, we simply do not have the time to wait for anymore changes from you. It’s against my better judgement, but we have no choice but to publish this in Thursday’s Edition.”
“How exciting!” I said, feeling a glow of accomplishment.
“Now get out of my Office,” he said.
So I did that.
I’ve decided I’m gonna celebrate my Accomplishment today. I’m pretty sure I’ve totally earned a Celebration, probably.
I think I’ll start by fixing myself a delicious and refreshing Frozen Honeysuckle Colada or two, then pack up a bunch of Great Grandma Gee’s Gee’s Royal Honeychew Krisp Cookies, and just spend the day taking it easy under a leafy tree branch somewhere. I think there’s a tree with my name on it, just waiting to provide me with just the right place to enjoy some Snacking and Sipping.
So I’m gonna go do that.
I hope everybody has an exquisitely festive day!
I’ll see ya’ later!
Georgie's Editor is not pleased ...
Ah, Monday is here at last! Since there are only TWO Mondays left this month, I plan to enjoy the day as much as possible.
Unfortunately, the day didn’t start all that well. The first thing I had to do this morning was hafta deliver the first instalment of my special Weekly Feature, “Georgie’s Tips, Ties and Tittle Tattle”, to my Editor this morning.
He was in a highly cranky mood.
“It’s about time,” he said when I gave him my Feature Thingy.
After he looked it over really fast (I don’t think he actually read the whole thing), he slammed it down on his desk.
“Bee,” he said.
“Yes?” I asked, figuring he was gonna tell me how much he loved what I’d done.
“When I insisted you include TIES in your Feature Column, I wasn’t talking about BAG TIES. I see here that you’ve included a feature on BAG TIES. BAG TIES do not qualify as TIES.”
“They don’t?” I asked. (I thought a tie was a tie.)
“No, they do not. Take this back and bring me the corrected version beefore the end of buzziness today. Or else.”
Then told me to get out of his Office. So I did that.
I was really hoping that I wouldn’t hafta work today, but I guess since it’s so hot outside (and there’s a bunch of smoke in the air for some reason), I might as well stay in and do some revisions on my Feature Article.
Whatever.
Anyway, I hope everybody has a miraculously sublime day!
I’ll see ya’ later!
