Earlier this week I ranted and whined about one of our web sites being “down.” It comes as a total surprise to me that this morning it is actually fixed and “up” again! What excitement! Someone finally got the darned site back in order. Happy New Year. So, now I can view our web site [...]

Okay, we are cynical.
As noted in a previous blog, we visited City Center (in it’s sorta’ finished state).
It was an interesting afternoon. Rather than heap opinions (good or bad) on Aria and City Center as a whole without our total immersion, we plan to visit and stay at the Aria for 2 days and [...]
Customer “Service”

I use the word “service” with my tongue held firmly in my cheek. I think there’s a little blood in there right now…
One of our web sites went “down” along with the bonus, added detail of NO capability of email. So, for a week we have been trying to get this straightened out. Two phone [...]

Christmas Morning

‘Tis the time for childhood memories. After all, isn’t Christmas one of the best times of the year for a child? …at least, it should be. Unless you live with scrouges or a Jehovah Witness, and well then – you’re pretty much screwed out of Christmas altogether.
Yesterday afternoon we had a little company Christmas potluck [...]

Down-Sizing Holiday Parties

Well, darn it…the economy is in the toilet. So – it’s time for the company party to be a potluck. No more grand affairs at Morton’s Steakhouse. Those days are over and out!
But, you know something? We all enjoy the casual get-togethers better…’cause it’s friendly and warm; and it’s a chance to enjoy being together and talking about [...]

Currently the hero of my life is taking care of the hero of my lifetime! Conrad Hilton and his staff around the world have been taking mighty good care of my husband Richard.
I don’t know how the Hilton Hotel employees and their service “system” manage to do it so well, but they have customer service [...]
Grand Canyon

We arrived at the Grand Canyon South Rim this evening, set up the training room for the next two days of training – and are safely and WARMLY tucked into our hotel room. We remember fondly the days of living and working up here at the rim. Winter was always our favorite time-very few tourists [...]
Facebook-The Good and The Bad

Facebook can be a great way to connect with others – especially people we haven’t heard from in many, many years. And, Facebook can be annoying. There’s all these innane games and “stupid stuff” that I just can’t get into nor do I have the time to even think about.
I think of Facebook like I [...]
