I’m not sure what possesses people to drive in such a dumb manner when it rains; I am beyond perplexed why people attempt feats of grandeur during snow storms. There is such a thing as seasonal depression, if that’s not enough I am aware that people develop cabin fever after being cooped up for too long – and this leads to rash and non-logical decisions. So is this why people...
Nothing is worse than being unappreciated at work. What’s even worse, is when you are fired without warning; what is uber worse is when your entire department is laid off without warning or care. It’s funny, how you will see a brand in how their product is represented, and it elicits comfort, trust, and awe in a way — you love eating the brand, you recommend the brand, and one...
Customer: Can I ask you a question? It will only take 10 seconds. ME: Sir, if you could please sign your name on the list, either myself or one of my fellow co-workers will be able to assist you as soon as possible. As of right now, you can clearly see that I am currently engaged in a consultation with these customers. CUSTOMER: It’s a 10 second question I promise you. What is the name of...
WEEK ONE: Really loving the direction we are going in, can we mix and match the logo options you have provided for us? If so I have taken the liberty of doing so, and will submit my ideas; I will send you an invoice for my concepts later JK WEEK 2: We’ve decided to go another direction, I know you want to kill us — but we want something that is more clever, less obvious and maybe 3D?… I...
CLIENT: Thanks for building me a stellar podcast website – question, can you create business cards? If so, can you make them cheaper than VISTA PRINT, and can you have them delivered by the 15th?? And sorry to be annoying, I know I call you after work hours and text you on your days off, but we are almost there, just really really need some business cards. ME: Thank you for the nice words...
SO HAPPY YOU ANSWERED MY EMAIL! You come from a lot of great referrals, you must be good. I need an awesome website, to go with my unique products… Get this, I make awesome soap! I know you will love it, and I have a great deal for you – how about we make a barter — your website services, for my unique, one-of-a-kind soap 🙂
Answer: NO!
… Damn Mondays!
I work in retail, you may know the place… They serve a lot of Swedish meatballs. The most annoying and number one question we get asked is… Excuse me, but do you work here…? I mean what the F***!? Why else would I be wearing this bright primary color button shirt with the company logo on it, and a bold and visible employee badge??? LOL like WTF!? Well the gentleman proceeds to...
I love sarcasm, I love a good joke, heck I am even confident enough to poke fun at myself. BUT, and there is a big BUT… Don’t clown me when something effed up happens. I chose a local bagel shop to get my coffee versus the overpriced cop-of-joe at Starbucks. Today is D-DAY, the ball drops in less than 12 hours and I’m scrambling around in my new outfit ready for tonight’s...
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. It seems that we live in a world where good contractors and mechanics are hard to come by; almost as though they are a mythic creature, similar to the likes of Nessie, Bigfoot or Unicorns. There’s nothing more insulting than feeling vulnerable, because you...
Oh tooth, dear tooth of mine. Let me not offend thee by calling you any ol’ tooth and single you out for the major big punk that you are – molar, oh yes, MOLAR! How can thou offend me with such horrid pain, when all I have done in life is splendor thee in all of life’s delights. How can thee twist and turn the blade of pain, and make me buckle down to my knees?… All is well...
