  • How to get good customer service

    Blogs, Center Fielder March 8, 2012 12:42 pm no comments

    Save for one setting, I genuinely enjoy communicating with people.

People do not seem to understand how they come across to food service [...]

    First it was anomaly, then it was the social phenomenon of the year, now it’s just commonplace.  Of course, I am discussing my personal favorite social media outlet: Twitter.

    We all know the kinds of people we see out there on the road, which ones to avoid, which ones to stay close to; we ourselves are among them. There are the speeders, the lane weavers, the cut-offers- the a$@#*%$!, as my dad liked to call them. They’re a gung-ho [...]

    As the New Year of 2012 rolled around, many of us began making our New Year’s resolutions.  And now, one month after each of us had a truly profound moment with ourselves and finally decided “I’m keeping this resolution no matter what,” I’d say a most us would be shocked [...]

    Blogs, Reviews November 4, 2011 12:47 pm no comments

    With his flinty voice and the gentile twangs from his banjo Matt Bauer has made a name for himself with his narrative based folk ablums. Matt Bauer’s The Jessamine County Book of the Living is yet another installment of Mr. Bauer’s folkexample of Matt’s narrative style. However, that is where [...]
