Reasons to be Thankful #1: Life
I don’t update my website often. And I don’t give thanks nearly as often as I should, either. I hope to rectify these frequency issues with an experiment, “Reasons to be Thankful.” (I say “experiment” because if I said “regular blog posts”, I might be lying.) Anyway, in one of my previous blog posts [...]Top 5 things service companies must do in order to survive in this economy
Service companies cannot sacrifice customer satisfaction for their financial bottom line in this economy. I’ve recently had two important and extremely frustrating customer-service experiences, one dealing with a vehicle purchase and the other with a home-warranty company in charge of fixing my home’s broken furnace (I’m sitting at my computer in a 50-some degree room heated [...]Top 5 things to do if you’ve lost your job

Daisy and I are registered for Mutt Strut and can't wait. Also, we dropped off a bag of old towels at the shelter yesterday. I hope your little critters can use them. Thanks for taking them off my hands.

- No problem. I enjoyed being there. Although, Miss Daisy was a little jealous when she smelled all the other dogs on me. I'll have to make it up to her. ;)
