Hey, thanks! I’m hoping to talk on the blog later this week about how I want to build on this idea some more. Though, every time I say I’m going to do something by a certain time, something else comes up, but we’ll see.

So, in summation, you’re a crazy, vagabond pervert. Awesome.

Comment on What gets me through the day… by Bonnie

I hope you fell blessed by ex-coworkers too! I found this that might justify the beer…as if you need a reason! Miss y’all

Sorry, I can’t site the source….it said Forbes but I can not verify that.

A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo, and when
the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that
are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herds as a whole,
because the general speed and health of the whole is maintained or even
improved by the regular culling of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can operate only as fast as the
slowest brain cells through which the electrical signals pass. Recent
epidemiological studies have shown that while excessive intake of alcohol
kills off brain cells, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells
first.

Thus, regular consumption of beer helps eliminate the weaker cells,
constantly making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. The
result of this in-depth study verifies and validates the causal link
between all weekend parties and job related performance. It also explains
why, after a few short years of leaving a university and getting married,
most professionals cannot keep up with the performance of the new
graduates. Only those few that stick to the strict regimen of voracious
alcoholic consumption can maintain the intellectual levels that they
achieve during their college years.

Yeah but…how do you feel about Coke Zero? Do you appreciate that it tastes more like regular Coke, or dislike that it doesn’t taste like Diet? Everything about me is random, but yours were interesting.

The publix near me is old and small and I never felt welcomed– plus Kroger is 2 miles closer… but yeah, I used to love Publix when I lived in Orlando.

You should always be proud if someone links to you. If it doesn’t make you feel proud, you might have some issues you need to deal with

Congratulations!

“Sometimes it’s the small gestures that make the biggest impact, both on how we do our jobs and on how we feel about our jobs.”

Well said! It can also make the biggest impact on the customer. Customers are suckers for little things like personal attention and being called by their names. As a customer, I know I really like it when someone pays attention and is on top of things like that.

Great post and thanks for the link!
