It seems that no matter how hard you try, Monday’s at work just never turn out so well. Even though I try to make it to work with a positive attitude, it just doesn’t seem to work.
For example, today, just ten minutes into the day, our Toshiba DKT2020SD phones decided to quit working. An event like this would have been a lot more convenient on the weekend, but we are going to have to figure something out quickly - without our business phone system, we will be in big trouble.
So, I am in charge of calling around to see if I can find someone that will be able to supply us with new phones. I haven’t had much luck so far, unless you count the company that was happy to sell us some new Nortel business phones - a brand that we have never had luck with.
Hopefully, our luck will change and I will be able to find some new phones for us - or this day will end up being a complete loss.

When my wife and I decided to get married we wanted to do something different. You see, all of our siblings were already married and quite frankly their weddings are a little too general for my tastes. If you ask me, they didn’t take the time to make the ceremony standout from all the other weddings that I’ve ever seen - maybe they just didn’t care enough about each other.
My wife and I decided that we wanted something special for our wedding to show everyone how much we meant to each other. This meant that we did our own wedding planning and decor and tried to stay away from such things as a store-bought aisle runner and cake.
After bit of searching online, we were able to find a company that created custom aisle runners for weddings. It took us some time to figure out exactly what we wanted written on our custom aisle runner, but in the end we came up with something that was just us.
After making it to the ceremony and into our married life, I’m very happy that we decided to have a unique wedding instead of some cookie-cutter one like everyone else.

When I started my first review website, I really didn’t want to be like every other review site on the web showing tons of products and really confusing their visitors. I just wanted to provide a form of leaderboard that showcased the best products in our class so that if somebody was looking for the best of the best, we would be out to tell them straight out.
In order to make sure that our site had legitimate reviews, I decided that it would make more sense for us to do the product reviews ourselves and share our own experiences with the products that we recommended. I felt that honesty was very important and when I told our visitors about the best coffee maker, I wanted to make sure that I would share what I truly believed.
For example, when we were trying to determine what which company made the best coffee makers, we needed to make sure that our recommendation not only made the best cup of coffee but it also had the best coffee pot (in terms of durability).
Even though this may sound like a lot of work, I really do love my job of trying new things out and sharing what I thought about them.

I am always amazed that I seem to go into every situation with some sort of expectations - I guess it makes sense, but I wonder if that by having that expectation in my mind before I do something if it alters the outcome of the event?
Okay, I don’t really know the answer to that thought, but I do know that today when I went out to the beauty school to see if I could get a hair cut, I expected it not to be good at all.
So, you might ask why I went over to the hair school to get a hair cut, but the answer was simple - I liked the price. I guess I should admit here that I am cheap, but sometimes I have been burned because you get what you pay for.
But as it turned out, this was definitely more like a beauty academy than a school and I walked out of there with a stunning look - not what I was expecting at all.
