Filed under: The Apprentice - Disappointed in Randal
Friday, December 16th, 2005 at 10:14 pm by Carol
I watched every episode of “The Apprentice” this season, and after last week’s show, I was certain that Donald Trump would select both Randal and Rebecca to be his apprentice. However on last night’s episode, it didn’t happen that way. Trump chose Randal, and then he offered Randal the opportunity to show his loyalty and generosity by asking him if he thought Rebecca should be hired, too. And Randal said no. He said the title of the show is “The Apprentice”, not “The Apprenti” (I THINK that’s what he said instead of “The Apprentices.”) Either way, he blew it.
I respected him up to that point, and then he showed his true nature - which is greedy and disloyal. I’m no longer one of his fans. He talked so much the past couple episodes about how he respected Rebecca and felt she was a good leader, a good friend and a worthy opponent. And then he stabbed her in the back because he wanted to keep all the “glory” for himself.
Shame on you, Randal! If the shoe had been on the other foot, Rebecca would have stood up for you. You showed how small you really are.

| Thirteen Things about THE MEDIAN SIB
1. I’m starting my FIRST Thursday Thirteen on a Friday. I hope no one holds that against me. I didn’t want to wait until next Thursday to get started. 2. I haven’t been to the mall a single time this Christmas season. 3. I still have lots of Christmas shopping to do…maybe tomorrow. 4. I’ve thought I might make some frozen meals for my two married children to help them on those hectic evenings after work when they don’t feel like preparing a meal. Just a thought - I don’t know if they’d really like that for a Christmas gift or not. I’ll have to decide soon. 5. A friend told me the other night that she had told everyone in her family to contribute to a charity in her name - and she told them the charity she preferred. She said she felt really good about the decision and her kids were happy with it, too. I know my daughter has already bought me a gift for this year. So I can’t switch and ask for a charity donation instead. Next year, though, I’m going to ask for everyone who wants to give me a gift to donate to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in my name instead. I like that idea. 6. I’m a teacher - a reading specialist - and we don’t get out of school until December 22nd - which is too close to Christmas! 7. However, we don’t go back to school until January 9th. So I’ll enjoy extra time off after Christmas. 8. My two granddaughters are the lights of my life. They’re 2 1/2 and 4 1/2 - and I KNOW I’d better not leave off those half years! 9. I’m glad I found the Thursday Thirteen links because this will be a good way to get to know people and to make myself THINK about what’s going on in my life. 10. I was in an all-day meeting today with other reading specialists in my county, and it was mostly a very good day. I learned a lot from one speaker, in particular. 11. I think I’ve got the best job in the world. Except for the pay, being a reading specialist is wonderful. 12. I married in 1969 and divorced in 1997. However, my ex and I are now back together again and have been working on all the issues that led to the divorce. Things look very promising for us. 13. Referring back to #12, we’re looking at house plans, and that is a lot of fun! Links to other Thursday Thirteens!1. (leave your link in comments, I’ll add you here!) |

I saw this on another blog, and I clicked away from it too soon. So I don’t remember which blog had it. If it’s your quote, I’ll be glad to give you credit for it. I thought it was a great answer to WHY DO WE BLOG?
Therapy is expensive. Blogging is cheap. You do the math!
