CLEARING IT ALL UP!


Lois (Toots II)
For years I have written about Toots II, also known as Lois, and how much she looks and sounds like TLW (The Little Woman) a.k.a. Toots I. By the time you read this, Toots II will be gone, ensconced in her private world of retirement

There are many faces that are saddened as you read, both in members and co-workers, since she was a mother figure and a professional in her approach to her job. Her most important asset was her ability not to impose herself on anyone, either in words or deeds!

That is not to say she didn’t harbor a very funny and sarcastic observation that might suddenly appear out of the blue. She was the go to lady, the lady they all measured themselves against when a measure was needed.

His development has a significant effect on TLW, her look alike in that her work load will now double because of the need for a comfort level from members who preferred Toots II at the Wanna-Be-Bank & Truss Co.

I will have to be on my best behavior since Toots II AKA Lois has retired and may not care anymore and give me a noogy on my head as a member or customer of the Wanna-Be-Bank & Truss Co. when she sees me next! Former members who have given her grief would be wise to avoid her presence since she no longer has to take any crap. This fact alone would and should send shivers down the spines of the culprits as she will fix their wagons and then casually go back to her i-pad, like nothing happened.

From now on TLW will hear from some member telling a story to her that was really told to Toots II in confusion, and this will probably go on for some time.

The only benefit to losing Toots II will be that TLW could be sent home by mistake, ther supervisor thinking it is Toots II, while saying: “You still here? Go home!”

So a sweet and gentle lady will no longer grace the Wanna-Be-Bank and Truss Co., the place a little less inviting and fun for those who work there, and a little more imposing for those that need it.

So long Lois, it was a great time, stay healthy and happy.
