Franklin Mills money saving ATM tip
For any of you wanting to go to Franklin Mills,
here’s a tip to save on transaction fees at the mall -
(the ATM’s in the mall have a $2.00 surcharge - kinda steep)
Go to either the Wal-Mart or the Super Fresh across the way from the mall
buy a Pepsi, or a candy bar, or any other sub $2.00 item,
go to the self-checkout lane (it’s usually faster),
pay with your debit card, then select (x$) cash back.
hope it helps….

Tags: Retail LexiconDrink n’ Crunch - coolest food invention ever!
but what are Drink n’ Crunches?
It’s cereal (my fave is the Special K vanilla) in a foil covered plastic container
with a built-in lid and mini sippy cup thing which attaches to
a cup that you fill with milk (in my case, skim milk) to a predetermined line.
You then peel the foil back, which uncovers both the cereal and the sippy cup thing…
just tilt it back like you’re drinking from a cup and the cereal and milk meet in your mouth!
no more soggy cereal - there’s no time for the cereal to get soggy…..

I finally got pissed off enough to dump AdSense ads from the blog…
Not only was the CTR for crap, they had to use javascript ,
which stalls my sidebar’s load, even when placed at the END of the code.
I’m testing out a few other networks, so I’ll let you know what works…
BTW, if you’re reading this on my feed - I changed the site’s theme….

first casualty reexamnined….
turns out there was a reason for the part-tiner being let go…
canlt go in to the reason, but suffice it to say -
there was a good reason…
new overlords, site snafus, and lots o’ transfers….
helluva valentine’s day….
got to work only to scramble around remerching and doing enough transfers
to last 3-4 days… I was wondering to myself whether some high end visitor
was coming…
later I found out that the person who was kinda sorta something approximating
the VP of Business Services wound up becoming the honest-to-God VP of Business Services,
so my suspicion was somewhat proved…
more site snafus - some of which led me to redesign the hierarchy of pages
so that the site will weather season-to-season changes much more smoothly….
but not after having my Sidekick blow up with emails….
oh, yeah… this was supposed to be some kind of love/flower/chocolate fest today?
I am so not feeeling it……

I’ve been really busy getting the mereBreath website up and running, so I haven’t had time to post here.
The season’s getting off to a good start - great first rehearsal.
Kind of nuts @ work, though….
apparently the auditors went through our transactions and found things they really didn’t like,
so they they let our managers know, and they let us know (you know how that goes).
On top of that, we’re getting ready for inventory this weekend…
I think we’re suffering from the Paradox of Excellence:
Tags: Retail Lexicon, tagsThe basic idea is the better you do your job, the more invisible you become to everything - but bad news. The longer you do a good job, the more your perceived value erodes because customers lose sight of the pain you originally relieved.
Festivus (poles) for the rest of us
Festivus poles for sale:
Mark Frauenfelder:
In a classic episode of Seinfeld, the character played by the inimitable Jerry Stiller declared the establishment of a new holiday to replace Christmas. It was called Festivus and the centerpiece was a bare aluminum pole. Now a company is selling the poles.
According to Frank Costanza, the Festivus celebration includes three major components:
The Festivus Pole
The tradition begins with a bare aluminum pole, which Frank praises for its “very high strength-to-weight ratio.” During Festivus, an unadorned aluminum pole is displayed, apparently in opposition to the commercialization of highly decorated Christmas trees, and because the holiday’s creator, Frank Costanza, “find[s] tinsel distracting.” Local customs vary and you may be able to decorate your pole with non-threatening plain decorations, or ordinary green garland.
The Airing of Grievances
At the Festivus dinner, each participant tells friends and family all of the instances where they disappointed him or her that year.
The Feats of Strength
The head of the family tests his or her strength against one participant of the head’s choosing. Festivus is not considered over until the head of the family has been pinned to the ground. A participant is allowed to decline to attempt to pin the head of the family only if they have something better to do instead.
