Every morning I drive by a local Dunkin Donut (it’s next to the gym) and am always dumbfounded how long the drive thru line is at 8:45 a.m.
I decided to time a vehicle to see how long they really waited in the line before getting their food.
17 mins 43 seconds, that’s how long!
Now, if you […]
Gyms and women
Ok, I recently joined a new gym, after being out of the gym scene for waaaaaaaaay too many years. It was a toss up between one that is co-ed and an all females. Now I’m wondering if I made the right choice
I opted for the all women gym because this way I could […]
Gas purchase capped at $75!
What gives?
Storm preparation people always tell you to make sure your cars have gas and you have gas for generators, etc.
I just got back from the gas station and they maxed me at $75 worth of gas. I had one car to still put gas in and 3 more gas cans to fill for […]
School shopping vs storm preparation shopping
They’re both horrendous acts that nobody should have to do, much less on the same day!
It’s bad enough to have to go to the mall with the masses of people who it seems many aren’t partial to bathing before they go out in public but then to dodge the fake smiling women attempting to spray […]
Accountability & responsibility when working as an independent consultant
There are many people who are independent consultants, reps, distributors (whatever you want to call yourself, you’re all in the same category). You all work for a company selling their products and/or services for commissions.
In being an “independent” that means your income is based on your effort. This also means that you must know what’s […]
Responsibility when ordering…
As a customer you have a responsibility to yourself, along with accountability.
If you go to the store or do your shopping online, you’re the one purchasing the product or service. You’re the one who’s going to take the item to the register or hit “add to cart” or “buy now” and continue to checkout.
Let’s use […]
Cries & pleas for help in business
If you belong to any wahm groups, forums, networks I’m sure you’ve seen what I’m talking about.
Many think it’s “professional” or “business like” to cry out and beg and plea for donations (be it money or orders) to keep their business afloat.
This can range from the cries of “help me meet my quota before I […]
Lying, scamming so called fundraising people
Well, don’t you just love when a company calls your cell phone, wastes your time and your minutes to try to scam you out of your money…and all in the name of the Police Athletic League.
I suppose there are suckers born every day but I’m not one of them.
Had a male call from 786-363-2770 but […]
One second…
Did you know that one second can really add up.
In a preteen life it can actually equate to about 3600 real seconds or an hour for those who don’t want to do the math.
When a preteen says “one second” be prepared to wait for more than a second.
You know the drill…you need to get going, […]
Lack of common sense & courtesy could be scary!
For the second time in two days I’ve had to go rescue idiot contractors from my doberman.
What happened to common sense, not to mention common courtesy when entering someone’s yard? I mean seriously, contractors for the phone and cable companies park their trucks then they put out the safety cones around their vans but yet […]
