In reply to Lori. It's all about timing, right? That or kismet. ;-) Thanks, Lori.

You always manage to say the right thing just when someone like me needs it. Thanks, Cathy. A super thought to carry through my day. 🙂

In reply to Anne Wayman.

I do the same, Anne. It’s kind of sad to know compliments are so rare. And we have much to be grateful for, don’t we? Like our friendship. 😉

Thanks, Anne.

Yeah, Roy… sometimes it can’t be done… like poor customer service from both Cox and AT&T – the only 2 internet providers where I am (which is a whole other issue).

And yes, I’ve dumped providers for poor cs.

I also make a point to compliment good cs people and ask for their supervisors so they get a gold star. It’s always fun because they are truly appreciative. Apparently they get very little positive feedback even when they’re good.

Gratitude works wonders for me as well, Cathy.

In reply to Roy A. Ackerman, Ph.D., E.A.. Thanks for your thoughts, Roy. Sometimes termination is not an option ;-) but I see your point.

Hmmm. Now, that I see what your point was, my solution is more direct. Terminate relationships with the offending entity and only frequent those that believe treating me well is the way to go- and I will treat them doubly so.
Yes, I avoided certain “family” members, as well – and constructed one more conducive to sane individuals.
