Keeping the Peace

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

Things around the office usually run pretty smooth. There are a few things that we use on a consistent basis that always work. when we need labels, we go to http://www.nationwideprintsolutions.com/. It’s important to us to use a company that has experience in doing the things we need done. Since they have been in business for over 42 years, we have come to rely on the services they provide. We’ve always found that it’s cheaper to send out for these things rather than to try to do it ourselves. We don’t really have the know-how or the latest up to date equipment.

Every year we make new catalogs for our customers. We like them to look good and have the high quality graphics that will catch the eye. We have a variety of other printing needs as well. We always need envelopes, labels for mailing, and a multitude of different business forms. As in any office, we need them done right away and don’t have time for excuses. That’s why we use the company that we know and trust. They haven’t let us down yet and I don’t think they will start now. It’s nice to be able to have a few things we can rely on.

Distant sounds

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

Around my house, it can get pretty quiet sometimes. When it’s like that, I may hear the faraway sounds around me. Many times I can hear the sound of a passing plane which sounds like thunder. Other times I may hear the low rumble of a train in the distance. Sometimes, if the wind is up, it makes a howling that can be soothing but spooky!

The revving engine of a motorcycle or car is usually available as well as the call of the geese flying overhead. There are many more sounds that I hear but forgot to write about.
It’s funny that we don’t really notice or remember what they are until you really listen!

A fancy ride

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

After a recent trip to Florida, my boss came back with a surprise. He drove home in a limousine that he had purchased. He has big plans for the limo service he wants to start. He asked me if I would be able to make a webpage for him so he could be on the internet. I told him some of the things he would need.

We worked together to find him a domain name for his company. Next we added the design he would use for his page. Finally, we wanted to find a simple way to select the right company to do his web hosting. We used webhostingchoice.com. They made it easy to compare the many features of the different sites. We were glad to be done with all the work and are proud of the site we made.

The limo company is now online and he is taking the orders from customers who need a fancy ride. I got a free ride in the limo for helping my boss start his new business!

Chores

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

Around our house, we have a lot of chores to do. While we don’t really make a list or anything like that, but we do try to parcel out the chores in a fair and even way. I always like to do the dishes. To me, its one of the easiest things to do. It only takes a minute to brush them off and put them in the dishwasher. Add a little soap, close the door, and turn the knob and your done.

Unloading the dishwasher is even easier. I can unload a dishwasher in less than a minute. I got a system. So I sit on the couch and watch TV and when the house gets a little out of hand, I holler out “I did the dishes”
