Snow

Snow – I love it, and I can’t get around in it. Oh, I can drive in it just fine, but I can’t walk in it anymore. I am afraid of falling, so guess I will just have to stay in.

I do have to say that the snow outside my house is beautiful to . . . → Read More: Snow

It is not up to someone else to decide when and where you stand up for yourself. You are not weak just because you decide to let something slide. It is not required that you call out every jerk you come across. You just may not be up to it sometimes, or you may not . . . → Read More: Stand up for yourself

Government shutdown Part 2

So, by the time you read this it will be old news – at least I hope so. I just read that a deal has been reached to open the government for three weeks. I think that’s great – really I do; it is WAY past time to reopen the government. We should not be . . . → Read More: Government shutdown Part 2

Government shutdown

It is past time to open our government back up, and let people get back to work and receiving their paychecks. We can argue about the best way to protect our borders once the government is open.

Do what you say you are going to do

Do what you say you are going to do. At least don’t say what you are going to do until you know you can do it.

There are people who rely on you to do what you say you are going to do. You may think that you are doing someone a favor by saying . . . → Read More: Do what you say you are going to do

Customer Service

I don’t want to cast aspersions on all customer service people; I have run into some who are actually quite good. But I have too many times run into people who don’t seem to know what “customer service” even means. I believe the problem starts with companies who want to say that they take care . . . → Read More: Customer Service
