What is it about Fridays? Originally Friday meetings were a simple affair we fondly called a “pow wow”. It was a simple check in about the applications we process. Who had turned one in on time and whom we had to nudge to get one, how many initial applications we have to process. Normally took about fifteen minutes and was a three person meeting. Should be no big deal but then we added a supervisor and a list of problem providers and another co-worker, then another two bosses and it … Continue reading →

I have coffee. I am thinking I will want more today. I think this will be a very busy day and the extra boost will do me some good.

Frequently I enjoy reading, chatting, games, or writing while on my regular ride to and from work. There are days I even take a nap. I do have to admit I enjoy riding the bus to work … Continue reading →

A couple months ago at an all staff meeting it was mentioned that a specific tool used by the public “sucked”. I happened to be the person responsible for creating said tool on a monthly basis but I was not the original designer just the clerk who happened to get stuck with the project upon the creator’s retirement a year before. This is a complex little project requiring data to be pulled from a Reports Manager, a lot of Excel formatting and tweaking and then the final conversion process to … Continue reading →

Very cool marketing idea… I let someone go in front of me at Costco since he only had 2 huge things of Styrofoam to go boxes…. before he left he ducked back to hand me a business card which was also a coupon for his restaurant… turns out the kindness I did in Costco was to one of the owners… but the coupon/business card for a kindness was a VERY good marketing trick. The next time I’m at the mall I’ll be looking for that restaurant for sure. Thought I’d … Continue reading →
