I thought I was responding to a job ad but instead there is a company called Gigats that post fake ads and you get to talk to a rude salesperson who makes you feel like a loser and tries to sell you on taking out a student loan to go to one of their schools. Tons of complaints about them on the internet. Amazing they are allowed to do this.

Hello from sunny Florida. It has been a very busy week for my husband and I. We just got down to Florida with the moving truck last Sunday. Whew…I'm glad the drive is over. Getting ready to start remodeling a house and enjoying the sunset at our new place:
Good luck with the new place. I lived in Florida when I was a kid and those Spanish moss-covered trees look familiar.

And now for Saturday's Questions

Do you have any artistic talents? I used to.

What are they? Sketching and drawing. I considered becoming an animation artist when I was younger but alas, I ended up doing something totally different.

What kinds of paintings/pictures do you like? Hard to say because I like all kinds.

Do you like the Opera? Not really.

Do you like Ballet? No.


Extra Credit Questions:
Wine or Beer? Neither
Computer Whiz or Computer Basic? Somewhere in between
Indoors or Outdoors? Indoors
Cactus or Bonsai Plant? Bonsai plant
Scuba Dive or Skydive?
Medium Rare or Well Done? Medium rare
Png Pong or Pinball? Pinball
Gas or Electric? Gas
Elevator or Escalator? Escalator
Google or Yahoo? Google's search and e-mail are better than Yahoo's
Sweet or Salty? Sweet
Bracelet or Necklace?


Bonus Questions:
Tell us about your last “good” customer service. On my mom's birthday almost 2 months ago, the family and I went to a new Applebee's restaurant near my house. The service and food were above and beyond.

How about the last bad customer service? When I went to try a new barber shop last weekend. They weren't even busy but I was ignored for a long while so I got up and walked out. They had almost 30 Yelp reviews that were either 4 or 5 stars, which made me want to try them. I wrote my own review and gave them 1 star based on my past experience with them.


Today Is:
Pit Bull Awareness Day My sister has one and he's the sweetest dog. They're just so misunderstood. Here's a picture of him wanting to play fetch.



Have a great weekend. Happy Saturday!
