Oh Janet – that is too funny! and no I don’t want your cat. I think I’d rather have a mouse – if it is a mouse

Funny, Kathy. Do you want me to ship my cat out to you? He is very good at catching them but then, he likes to play with them. Mike always has to kill them – blood splatters and all!

We were out of town one time and got a phone call from our youngest daughter that there was a “rat” in the toilet. She was screaming hysterically. Once we finally made it home, we discovered it was a mouse floating in the toilet. All we can figure out is that Ronnie Cat figured he got him dirty while playing with him and attempted to give him a bath!

OMG, I can so relate to all those fears. I’m pretty sure we shared mouse stories in Atlanta and when I come to Nova Scotia to visit in May I’ll meet you somewhere else…LOL
I’d love to see the video the kids made…it’s gotta beat my adventure in the San Diego Zoo (thankfully no video of that chaos) where I terrified small children in strollers.

Happy birthday, my partner in mice a phobia (pretty sure there’s an actual word for it)!!

Very true Richard – it is really a living thing that should be addressed throughout the year.. life just always seems to find better things for us to do!

Some great ideas here Kathy.

It seems like so many business owners create a business plan when they begin, then just kind of “think about stuff” when they do their year-end assessment. A structured monthly, quarterly, or bi-yearly assessment of the state of their business would be so much more helpful – not to mention so much more productive.

Thanks again,
Richard

Thanks for the reminder! My last post was last April, and I’d even used Evernote (which I push a lot) to write down some ideas for my blog, but didn’t update it regularly. I’m going to need to set up a calendar to better schedule some of my ON-business tasks versus my IN-business tasks. Thanks again!

I totally agree! I work as a customer care representative and the bad is always the first thing mentioned to me. It totally irks me. They forget about the other 99 percent of the time that I have gotten things done correctly and focus only on the 1 percent of the time that things go wrong. I have made it my mission to give positive feedback like you said but to my coworkers as well. It’s also important to let others you work with know that they are appreciated, it makes the times when you have to ask for help that much easier and they more likely say yes because they know they are appreicated.
Love the blog – I check back often to make sure I don’t miss anything! Liesje
