PART-TIME LOVERS

I was listening to my Ipod and an old song from H-town “Part-time Lover” came on (I really think I’m showing my age with this one, because a lot of you don’t have a clue who H-town is). Anyways this song reminded me of one of my favorite analogies about part-time lovers.
As I sit here and read the status update of most of my fellow Facebookers I see that most of you have a hump day and you really look forward to weekends. Image this you’re sitting at your desk, cubical, classroom, or hell even behind the counter and your boss comes in and says this…. “You have been extremely productive here at our company and we value you as an employee. We have been hearing rumors that you were unpleased with your current work scheduled and we would like to reduce your hours. Hold on Mr./Mrs./Ms. (Your Name) please stop cursing and throwing things… You’re taking this the wrong way let me explain what I’m offering you… I’m prepared to let you work part-time here, but willing to pay you your fulltime salary… I would like for you to take the rest of the day off and return tomorrow with your answer.” Most of you wouldn’t even need 30 seconds to make that decision, and I’m sure 100% you take him up on that offer. Now that you’ve heard my little scenario let’s see if we can tie this into today blog topic.
If a person can receive fulltime lover’s benefits for part-time lover’s services why would they ever want a fulltime position again? One of the biggest mistakes made during the beginning stages of a relationship is giving someone fulltime benefits when they’re really only doing part-time work. It’s ok to give them a little snack during they’re part- time shift… but just use that as an incentive to push them to work a little hard to become your full time employee. The problem is some people can’t differentiate between when to handout the snack and when to give away the full course meal. This part is really hard for me because I haven’t made too many fulltime commits myself (I’m more of a weekend lover….lol). If they haven’t given you a fulltime commit, then there’s no reason for them to get the fulltime benefits. Part-time commits only get you part times benefits. It’s not on me to tell you what you should consider part-time or fulltime benefits, but I will say fulltime should be an obvious upgrade from part-time. I’m just saying I don’t think person will ever commit fulltime if they’re getting fulltime benefits for their part-time loving.
Maybe it’s a little unfair for me to be given out so much information about how we really think, but I feel like most of this stuff women already know. So I guess I’m just confirming what you already know…These are JUST MY THOUGHTS. What do you think?
