Mother’s Day Trump Mug

Mother’s Day appreciation mug for my wife. 


I knew she would love it. 


– She’s a great mom, terrific, beautiful, fantastic. 


– Other moms, total disasters, everyone agrees. 


Trump says it best.  


Happy Mother’s Day! 😉

Team, It’s Not About You

Teamwork
This mug on teamwork was really funny.



Teamwork (noun):

1) A group of people doing what I say.

2) Work done that I can take credit for.



Of course, this really isn’t teamwork, unless you consider it the “I Team.” 



Yes, this is sort of sterotypical of bad bosses:

– They take the credit for the team’s work when everything goes well.

– But they pass along the blame when something goes wrong. 



Has this ever happened to you?



It reminds me of another funny saying about how greedy, narcissistic people think:



“What mine is mine, and what’s yours is mine.”



In other words–mine, mine, and mine, why thank you!



The best bosses are humble and giving. They make sure everyone knows what the goals are and are working efficiently to achieve them. 



The credit goes to the indivudals and team who are working their butts off, and when appropriate, the boss will take the heat to help others save face and enable them to press forward with the mission. 



I remember one of my colleagues who is a supervisor and he was called out for doing a great job. Immediately he goes, “It’s my team that make me look good.” And knowing this person, that wasn’t just talk or a show…he was completely sincere. 



That’s leadership and an impressive human being–someone to emulate!

Balloon Mugs

Balloon Mug
Love this new balloon mug from Starbucks.



Most of their tchotchkes are so ugly or cheap looking, but this mug rocks.



Got this for my daughter, but I want one too.



Reminds me when we went air ballooning in Las Vegas together.



Great memories and a really beautiful mug.



Too nice to drink out of. 😉

Not For Drinking {Funny}

Not For Drinking

For funny Friday, here’s a photo that I took of the Toilet Coffee Mug (for real).

It’s cute in a certain miniaturized way, but I am not sure who would want to drink their coffee from this thing.

Or imagine this, you go to the leadership meeting at your important organization, and there sitting across at the table is the Big Kahuna executive with this mug.

No, it’s not a great brand making statement, but it definitely is a conversation piece.

Hey, will they put Starbucks in here, if you ask nicely? 😉

Zach Galifianakis at 7-Eleven

Zach Galifianakis at 7-Eleven

I think this is probably as close as I will come to seeing Zach Galifianakis.

Someone at 7-Eleven had this awesome coffee mug with Galifianakis’s photo on the side.

That face is pretty hilarious–he doesn’t even have to say anything and you sort of start laughing!

And The Hangover Part III is coming out next week…

Fill’er up Zach with lots of fun and comedy.

I’ll drink a good coffee at 7-Eleven to that. 😉
