Can we talk about Customer Service?

I had this experience recently that kind of embarrasses me and gets me pretty lit up at the same time....I stopped to get some fuel the other day which I often do, but not regularly at this particular place....in fact I can count on one hand how little I go to this particular establishment, but not for any other reason then it's a little inconvenient for me....anyway on with the story....so for the life of me, I can't get my bank card to work, and in this fella's defence(I'll tell you more shortly) there were new directions posted clearly on the front of the gas machine but I, of course didn't pay attention....anyhoo, I went into said establishment to see if I could prepay....I wasn't cranky, I was pleasant and to be truthful the man behind the counter was friendly, until there was a "tone"...I should say, I am nearly ...

I need gardening tips...I think!!

Posted By: Angela Rose · 6/16/2011 2:08:00 PM
Okay, I really have done VERY LITTLE gardening in my lifetime..mostly because I thought I didn't want contact with any kind of bug, or get all dirty, or get bit something awful by mosquitos....BUT I've come to discover that I sure do love foliage...Our house was looking a little empty in the front, so I splurged on some hanging baskets that I thought looked great on the steps and veranda furniture, so my hanging baskets were no longer hanging...I knew the whole front of the house needed some attention, so I splurged on more hanging baskets(well to be fair we had a gift certificate to a greenhouse from our wedding gift collection which was FAB) anyway got more baskets, a little plant for a little antique bike that you put flowers in and a hydrangea.....that is particularly lovely, it's all purple and blue...just lovely, anyway I have no idea what ...

Being sick is crummy!!

Posted By: Angela Rose · 5/3/2011 12:15:00 PM

This is some info that I found online and super interesting to help keep you and Germs seperate...you'll be surprised by some info and lets face it being sick is terrible, and it just seems lately that once you get over the cold and flu, you've got it again!!!You look horrible, feel bad and have to use your sick days recuperating. Sick of it all? Here's how to wage germ warfare at the office.

  • Close your mouth. Germs travel through the air. In fact, they can fly as far as 30 feet. EWWWWW...So if you're forced to sit near someone who's coughing, wheezing, or sneezing, keep your mouth closed; it's better to breathe through your nose where tiny hairs act as filters to keep out the germs.
  • Wash your hands. You get infected by touching hard surfaces: the coffee maker, the copy machine, and elevator buttons, where filthy, germ-encrusted co-workers have ...

Have a nice conflict...

Posted By: Angela Rose · 4/15/2011 11:06:00 AM
There's actually a book called, "Have a Nice Conflict"....I've not read it but no doubt it's totally helpful....I mean most days are filled with a little conflict here and there whether it's getting through a busy morning with the kids, a rough day at work, then a busy and hectic night time drill....so the basis of the book is instead of pushing those in conflict to find a resolution, you actually just have nicer conflicts...makes sense...probably some decent points...Here's the link so you can check it out yourself..www.haveaniceconflict.com , although maybe there's something behind a good fight, I mean sheesh look at Hockey...some decent and maybe unnecessary fights, but they all seem to walk away friends....anyway, just some food for thought....and probably a good read too!!!

I'm going to try really hard NOT TO GOSSIP

Posted By: Angela Rose · 1/27/2011 4:00:00 PM
First of all I can't believe how long it's been since I've blogged...how horrible....so lots to share...I've always tried to figure out where Gossip begins and ends, so I thought a decent enough New Year's Resolution would be to try not to gossip....well where does that leave me??? I love passing along GOOD info about people I love, so is that Gossip? and I LOVE hearing about celebrity goings on, and that most definitely MUST be gossip, but this I had to pass along....especially the info about Glee and Kings of Leon(who I absolutely LOVE)...but there's a little bit on tension here...here's what I've found out so far....Glee creator Ryan Murphy is singing a not-so-happy tune about Kings of Leon. Last year, the chart-topping band denied Murphy's request to use their Grammy-nominated hit "Use Somebody" on the show -- a decision that mortally offended Murphy. "F*** you, Kings of Leon," ...
