Georgie's Editor insists that he explain himself...

Tuesday, November 3, 2015

Hey.

Did I happen to mention that my Great Grandma Gee Gee is back from visiting with her Sister? Well, she is. She told me, “We had a very nice visit, but when I heard that you were missing, I just had to come back and wait for you to return, dear. Also, my sister snores.”

So that’s a good thing. It’s nice to have her back.

Anyway, I finally made it over to my Editor’s office. I was about an hour late. When he started getting mad at me, I tried to use that excuse that my friend, Erin, suggested. My editor just gave me a dirty look and said, “Wrong. Stop lying.”

So I did that.

Then he said, “Bee, we have a problem here.”
“And what problem is that, beesides my beeing late?”
He showed me copies of the last three weeks or so of the “Bee Times Gazette Journal Record - and Online News” and pointed to an empty box at the bottom of Page 8.
“What do you see here?”
“Nothing. Just an empty box,” I said.
“Correct. An empty box. Do you happen to remember what was supposed to bee in that empty box?”
“An ad for slide rules?”
“Don’t bee facetious,” he said. “What was SUPPOSED to bee there was your weekly ‘At the Movies with Georgie Bee’ column. As you’ll notice, it isn’t there.”
“So I see,” I said.
“I need an explanation,” he said.
“I was out of town,” I told him.
“NOT good enough. Even if you were out of town, you could have emailed me your columns. But you didn’t do that, did you?”
“Well, no, beecause I . . . “ I started to explain.
“Bee,” he interrupted me, “I want a full and detailed explanation about why you were unable to full your contractual obligations to this publication - and it had better bee good. Or else.”
“Or else what?”
“Or else you will bee sued for Breach of Contract, Immensely Disappointing your Reading Audience, and Failure to Provide an Opinion.”

Oh geeeeeeeeeze. I really don’t need to bee sued right now.

Anyway, after he finally stopped screaming at me, I promised that I would provide him with a comprehensive, highly detailed account of where I’ve been and what happened to me which he is insisting bee publishing in the final edition of the paper as compensation to my readers.

So I’m gonna do that. I’m gonna write the whole thing out (at least, what I can remember) and share it with everybody here a little bit at a time, then when it’s done, I’ll submit it to my Editor for publication in the "Bee Times Gazette Journal Record - and Online News".

This afternoon, I think I’ll spend some time trying to think of a convincing title for this thing. (Somebody suggested, “Why I Didn’t Show Up for Work”, but I’m pretty sure I can do better than that.)

Okay then. It’s nice - but windy outside today, so I’m gonna go find my beret and get to work.

I hope everybody has a magnificently memorable day!

I’ll see ya’ later!
