What a difference a year makes....

Tomorrow will be the one year anniversary of Theresa's truck accident. Today she is doing exactly what she was doing then; she is driving in the rain to recycle hazardous materials in Canton. I can't even begin to think of how different so many things would be if just one aspect of that day were different!

Please, take an extra minute to hug the people you love, or give a stranger a compliment!

Happy Holidays!!!

This past weekend I was out shopping with Theresa, and we saw that the Christmas sections of stores are already out! It wasn't even fall yet!

Today I am trying to order holiday cards and gifts for our best clients.

People wonder why I hate Christmas, this is why! From Christmas in July to the after holiday sales, I eat, breathe, and shop the holidays for seven months. Nothing takes the taste out of fruitcake like too much Christmas.

It would be one thing if people adopted the "holiday spirit" along with the commercial aspects, but I think it makes them worse! I want life to be a Rosemary Clooney and Bing Crosby special, please!

All I can hear now is Kate singing the dreidel song while Nate spins in his chair......

Charter One: Not Your Typical Bank

You can say that again!! I realized this week that my debit card expires at the end of this month, and that I have not received a new one yet. Yesterday I called the bank, they reissued a new card, it will be here in 7-10 business days. Great, it will be here before the end of the month.

On my way home I stop at the gas station, and my debit card won't work, maybe the machine is down. Luckily I have cash on me, which almost NEVER happens. Today I try to order lunch, my card is declined. HMMMMM.....

Charter One has cancelled my current card as well as the card that was supposed to be at my house a couple of weeks ago.

I called back today, and Deb didn't seem too concerned.
Now.....I have to try to find time to go to the bank so I can try to figure out how much cash I will need over the next 7-10 business days.

This is like stubbing an already broken toe!!

On a Good Day.... I'm Bitter

I have no idea where this funk is coming from, but it needs to end.
Maybe it's that I'm busy, or can't find a second job. Maybe it's because I haven't seen my best friend in a couple of weeks. Maybe karma is kicking my butt for hitting that raccoon last week.
ENOUGH ALREADY!

Shiver Me Timbers

Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day!!!

Well, here at SageRock, we don't do anything half-way..........







I am going to have to walk the plank as soon as the rest of the office sees this post....arrrrrr!

Mars is in retro-what?

Alexander Jenilee and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day Week.
Why? No clue, but it seems to be a plague around the office.
I was listening to a random radio station this morning that had a psychic talking about Mars being in retrograde, whatever that means. She explained that this was causing the world to go crazy, and people should not make decisions about ending relationships or quitting jobs until this was resolved. I arrived at work before she told me when it would be over.

Until then, I have Starbucks, a coloring book, and enough work to keep me busy until the planets are aligned.
