Respecting people’s time

by

What is it with people who don't respect other people's time? I mean time is precious...you can't save it, you can't use it later, you can't give it, you can't put a hold on it. You simply live in the now, in that moment, right then. If you make plans or have obligations at a certain time, then be on time. Others make their plans based on you being on time.... be it … [Read more...] about Respecting people’s time

Return to sender phone call

by

Well I guess it's a good thing that I followed up on the status of some tickets I ordered online months ago for an event the first weekend of February. I was going through saved emails and noticed the order confirmation stated I'd receive actual tickets in the mail 3-4 weeks in advance of the event. Wow, that's like NOW! So, I emailed them a few days ago regarding status...geee … [Read more...] about Return to sender phone call

The cost of convenience

by

Today after TMobile toyed with my emotions by sending me a letter saying I could get a Samsung Gravity phone for free then once in store found out that no...I'd have to either pay $135 or wait until November, I got to thinking. Thinking about the cost of convenience...the price tag we'll hang on convenience and saving time, making things easier. As far as TMobile goes...the … [Read more...] about The cost of convenience

Networks, Friends, Numbers

by

I was having an interesting discussion yesterday with a group of people regarding "friends" and "followers" on Facebook and Twitter to mention the two big ones. We were talking about how some people have 500 friends on Facebook but yet probably don't even "know" the majority of them nor ever will. They're all about the "numbers". They can have 500 "friends" on Facebook but … [Read more...] about Networks, Friends, Numbers

Want vs Need

by

Definition of want: a desire, wish, crave, to feel a need for. Definition of need: a requirement Now the battle begins...want vs need. I figured since it was Christmas and most people are out buying things their kids want and not necessarily need, I'd go ahead and talk about wants vs needs (including my own little battle within). Most adults know the difference in a … [Read more...] about Want vs Need

Post office workers

by

I know it's the holidays, I know people wait until the last minute to ship things. I know people can be rude. I see it every year, though I keep hoping that there would come a time when people would: 1) Get their things shipped out early. 2) Be decent to the people that work at the post office. 3) Quit blaming others and being so nasty, foul and rude. Today I was in … [Read more...] about Post office workers

Incorrect words

by

I've been meaning to write this for awhile now but got busy. Is it just me who can't stand when they see incorrect words being used? Especially when doing business. I mean, it's one thing if it's a private email or IM to friend or family and casual. It's a totally different thing when you're posting, advertising, tweeting, doing business and you use the wrong … [Read more...] about Incorrect words

Obsessive Chemical Funk Smells, Perfumes, etc

by

News: Co workers can sue over excessive perfume in the work place. I personally love this article (even though I've just now received a few nasty emails from others online for my sharing the article..oh well) by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger because it points out many things that I and many others have to deal with on a daily basis. I've had to leave the movies, lines I'm … [Read more...] about Obsessive Chemical Funk Smells, Perfumes, etc

Dying to go shopping at Walmart

by

You might just do that... die that is..or get trampled and injured. This happened this morning apparently: Worker dies at Long Island Walmart This isn't the first time someone has lost their life on Black Friday at Walmart. I just don't get it. Ok, first off it's Walmart for crying out loud. Why does anyone want to go there and get crap made in China anyhow? But, … [Read more...] about Dying to go shopping at Walmart
