Good people need recognition

On my way to work this morning, I stopped at Circle K for my newspaper and pop to take to work. I was pleasantly surprised to see Tabatha working there, as I hadn't seen her since I wrote this post about her. Out of curiosity, after explaining to her that I wrote about her on my blog, if she had heard from regional office. I had also wrote an emailing to them, complete with a link to that blog post. She told me that she hadn't.

That's a real shame. People who do a good job and make people feel welcome when they come to make any purchase need to be rewarded. You can argue that this is why they get a paycheck and almost be right. But you also have to take into consideration that people like Tabatha will bring customers back when other places are open offering the same items at the same prices.

Cashiers are called on the carpet when they are rude to customers, so reward those who provide exceptional customer service. Your bottom line might reflect this in a good way.

Cliff Note: I did spell "Tabatha" correctly, as that was the way it appeared on her badge.

I agree. Good service is hard to find, and should be rewarded. Good for you to email the powers that be, to let them know about a great employee.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?

My job

I have worked at my company for, unofficially, 17 years. When I first started working there in June, 1992, the average work week was 55-57 hours. Sometimes you worked more than that. I was 36 years old at the time and I could handle the long hours and short nights of sleep. 17 years and three knee surgeries later, I need less hours work and more hours sleep. Even moving into a quasi desk job, I still find it difficult to crawl out of bed at 3am. I could get up later if I wanted to put up with both rush hours. But this morning, things will change slightly. I received a call from my department manager yesterday. I was notified that I had to cut my time down to 40 hours. This would be down from 44-45 that I normally work. No surprise there as all the other departments got notified before I was. And I had to split my time between plants, doing calibrations at the other shop 1-1/2 days a week. I'm actually looking forward to the change. I also like the prospect of getting an hour extra...
