What I'm Reading This Week #16

Good Friday to you!  Literally.  I can't believe Easter is here.  Anyone else having epic wind and rain storms over the past month?  I mean good friggin' luck trying to enjoy any time out there and we're not afraid of weather.  As I type, there are 40mph gusts.  I went out to paint the critter cages on the planters and feel like I have hypothermia at 47 degrees when yesterday's weather forecast said it would be 74 today.  Da fuq?  Guess who finally took the bedroom Christmas tree down Wednesday?  It was neutrally decorated so it was fine but it came on every night and gave a cozy glow.  I knew one day I would look at it and know it needed to go to sleep until November 1st.  That's the other thing, I will be decorating for everything extra early from now on.  August 1st- Fall decor as I will thoroughly be over summer by then and given that's the day Mom passed, I'll need something to lift my spirits.  November 1st it'll be ...

Hump Day Poll: Warning Labels

If I came with a warning label, what would it say?  I have so many but this is the most important one for me.


When we go on vacation, that time is considered sacred to me.  We need to recharge and that isn't going to happen if we're answering emails, texts or phone calls.  (The only exception I made was in October when my friend's mom died the day before we left.  I kept in touch with her, made arrangements for flowers,  had to deal with florist issues, and checked in with her a day or two after the service.)

I now make it clear when I book a place that we unplug so after initial check-in day,  and I will not be available unless we have an issue until check out day.  The last guy we rented from (who I should've slammed hard in a review) had a problem with this and had the nerve to ding me in his review of me as a guest.  Communication: 3 stars.  How about we talk about your 6 glaring safety issues and the fact that after check out time you wanted me to drag a full, stinky 90-gallon trash can that hadn't been emptied in weeks down your long gravel driveway in the pounding rain.  Kiss my ass, sir. 

Whoops...got off track.  Maybe my label should be "we're all good if you're not an unreasonable douche."

If you came with a warning label, what would it say?

    Yeah that pretty much sums up my warning label. I have been lucky in that work tends to leave me alone on vacations but I believe that is because of how I made it clear it was not an option. I will continue that mindset in the new position too. It is all about teaching them how to treat you.

    A few that come to mind are:
    "If I Threw You a Going Away Party, Would You?"
    and
    "Does Not Give Advice and Does Not Ask For It."
    and
    "Focused on My Own Expectations, Not Concerned with Yours."
