I feel badly for the employees, but then again, I watched a whole division of my company reduce all full time employees to 20 hour employees with no warning, and then go on a hiring frenzy. Businesses aren't about what makes it easy for employee, and there's still a long line of overqualified people just waiting to…

She's just so damn ...unique. I'd love to have lunch with her, and side-eye her whenever anything precious comes out of her mouth. I honestly think she'd laugh.

Totally with you on this. I was made to push a wheelbarrow.

Keith Urban:clown shoes?

+1+1 This is awful and I wish I hadn't read it. Going to check the meds for a retcon equivalent.

I'm with you, Jenna.

That's what I can't figure out. Did she get free stuff along the way that the IRS sees as income?

Thanks for the reminder that we humans, over all, are pretty cool.

It makes me happy.

That's just it. If we are on a first name basis, I'm good. But in most cases, we aren't because the customer isn't wearing a name badge and hasn't offered their name.

If one of our customers said this, I'd light up like a Christmas tree. Little touches of consideration like that go a long way.

That name badge is there so you can identify me, not so you can use my name. If you are a regular, saying "Peggy, I'm Sally," is cool. Saying to your kid,"Now say thank you to Miss Peggy," is cool because that seems to be a common child raising practice in my area. Otherwise Ma'am or Miss is the way to go.

I never hated her, I just thought her vapid. But somehow, over the years, I've come to appreciate the crazy that is Gwen. She is a treasure.

II truly want to believe most people are decent, too. It drives me nuts when I can't figure out how someone can get to the point this woman did.

That is a great gift...what a fabulous idea.
