All About Roy Boy

My wife was talking the other day about some stuff that was being discussed where she works. She likes to listen to the ladies there. There is always something interesting to talk about I suppose. They had been going on for a while when an ex-employee's name came up.

They didn't stop with his first name however. They had come up with a pejorative feature at the end. Roy Boy. NOW this was not a put down of race, but of association.

It seems that Roy had some peculiar habits. Like he came to work every day in a suit. Now that might not be peculiar had he been an insurance salesman, but that was not the case. He had a uniform that was required. So in this instance the suit was not a requirement. I have to wear business casual where I work, and am glad to do it. Anyway, they thought the suit was odd.

He also "knew" everything about everything. No matter the subject he knew something about it. After a while, they just stopped bringing things up around him. I think we have all met people like that. One thing that could have helped him would have been a personal improvement program. He obviously needed to take the focus off himself and place it on others, that way, when he did say something, people would have been willing to listen. AND they would not have thought he was odd.

The straw that broke the camels back for them was his insistence they join AMWAY. Now we who were in Quixtar understand the association, however, everyone knew what the real company was. They thought that he was odd to actually think they would join a "pyramid" scheme.

Interesting that Quixtar has decided to go back to the name everyone thinks it is anyway. Interesting they decided to ban the only program that actually was working to bring new people in. A program that helps people self improve, get their dream back, and to have a belief they can make a difference in our culture.

Instead, they are in the process of making more Roy Boy's. Good luck!
