Ok this has been one of my huge pet peeves for awhile now and am just now posting it. How often do you get an email that was sent to a zillion people? Too often I'm sure! How often do you get an email that was sent to a zillion people and the sender did not bcc (blind carbon copy) so now you along with everyone else now have all email addresses to everyone who was sent … [Read more...] about Spamming and BCC’ing

Following directions ~ What’s so hard about it.
I'm not talking about following directions on a map (anyone remember what that is?), you know the scene where the man gets lost and refuses to ask for directions because the woman read the map wrong and gave him wrong directions! LOL Guess it's a good thing we all pretty much have GPS and navigation systems built into our vehicles now. But, I'm not talking about those … [Read more...] about Following directions ~ What’s so hard about it.
Muvico must not be feeling the recession
Whether you want to admit we're facing difficult economic times or not, I'd have to say Muvico Theaters in Davie, FL must not be feeling the effects of the economy. If, they were...then perhaps they would understand their new policy is asinine at best. This afternoon, yes a school afternoon...I decide to take daughter & her friend to movies. Hey, it IS the best time … [Read more...] about Muvico must not be feeling the recession
Whacked customers
According to Urban Dictionary "whacked" means: demented; not right in the head So, if you're dealing with someone who's obviously not "right in the head" and try to forewarn others before they could get taken advantage of by this person why do those you're trying to forewarn get all upset and get their panties in a wad over using the term "whacked". They claim it's too … [Read more...] about Whacked customers
Rejecting potential clients
As a business owner you are able to determine which clients you do or do not want to accept. That's just one of the many benefits of being the owner. You can distinguish the difference between a quality client and those who are ones you just know will be more hassle than worth, the ones you'll never be able to totally satisfy, the ones who will drive you insane and the … [Read more...] about Rejecting potential clients
Backing in
Ok weird topic but one that I have to get off my chest. I back my car into all parking spots. It's easier for me and it's faster when I want to leave, I get in the car and off I go! Now, I've been told lately that this is a "guy thing" and only "guys" back their vehicles into their parking spots. Well, hmmmph as you can tell from the pic, I am NOT a guy! LOL Some say … [Read more...] about Backing in
Running and hiding in business
The events of the last few days have me thinking. How many people, especially women, run and hide when they don't know how to handle a situation? This works both ways... 1) How many times have you dealt with a company or a business and been on the receiving end of inferior service or product yet you didn't speak up?! Why didn't you? 2) You own a business and you … [Read more...] about Running and hiding in business
Shoddy workmanship and no business owner responsibility
Update: Treasia has returned from a vacation where she didn't advise anyone or set her site up on auto respond but ironically or conveniently? she appears back from said vacation within hours of my going public with my information. Coincidental? You decide. Meanwhile her response was basically that it was my fault because I didn't pay $5 for a 'sample' first before … [Read more...] about Shoddy workmanship and no business owner responsibility
Why do people leave & leave their business hanging?
I know I blogged on a similar subject few days ago about people who take off for the holidays and come back weeks later and wonder why they have no work while they didn't respond to emails or calls during the holidays. This is similar gripe but a bit different. Ever do business with someone and get product that was "inferior" at best and actually "shoddy, trashy, half … [Read more...] about Why do people leave & leave their business hanging?
What reeks?
oh that's you, I'm sorry. You know who you are...the one who bathes in cheap perfume rather than soap and water. What is it with people who bathe in perfume or cologne? Do they not shower or wash and are trying to cover up with some cheap funky perfume that induces migraines in anyone within a mile radius of them or what? It's bad enough when you're trying to get through … [Read more...] about What reeks?
