Public Market Center

I have to apologize for not writing a blog recently. It seems like the days are just flying by and I don’t know where they go. The funny thing is I have a few people who I check their blogs daily and I always thing to myself on the days they don’t write 1. Why didn’t they write today and what could they be doing right now that was more important that blogging? The other thing that has been preventing me from blogging is I have been working on that video post I promised and it is just taking me a little big longer than expected.

Last but definitely not least I have been having computer issues. My computer is not charging properly and shuts down on me all the time. IT’S DRIVING ME CRAZY. Not only annoying but its frustrating and needs to be fixed but I am waiting till it crashes totally before I go into Geek Squad and have them tell me its going to be hundreds just to find out the problem and then hundreds more to fix it. (If you own a MAC I know I know)

Long story short I am attempting to be a more proactive blogger because I really do love blogging. I know maybe only 10 people will read this but so far no one has told me to stop so I am going to keep going but I am encountering minor road blocks in my way.

Now I will write on a little segment I like to call “Wednesdays at the front desk”.

Me: (Company Name) How can I help you?
Woman: I need you to find me a good choir or gospel choir. I am going to be passing away soon and I want them to sing at my funeral.
Me: (It my head) My first thought was wow what would I do if I knew I was going to die? My second thought was I would not be calling us. My third thought and maybe should have been my first thought. That’s really sad, I am sorry to hear that.
Me: (What came out) That’s horrible, I am so sorry.
Woman: That’s ok, I am at peace with it. I have been a singer all of my life, I sang down in Southern California and well I don’t trust my kids or sister to find me someone good.
Me: (In my head) Typically I wouldn’t help this case because it has nothing to do with what I do, but since she is dying its hard to say no.
Me: Ok well let me see what I can do for you. Do you have internet access?
Woman: No
Me: Ok well let me find some numbers for you to call, how much are you willing to pay?
Woman: As much as it takes, I want people to walk away and think “wow that was great” and I know my kids won’t make that happen they will find someone cheap.
Me: Ok well here are a few numbers I found for you, I hope they work out.

Next Call:
Me: (Company Name) How can I help you?
Man: I used to work for you, I am walking and I am three blocks away. Please let BLANK know that I am coming. Hangs up
Me to my CoWorker: I had a man on the phone, I think he is either out of breath or has been drinking.

Turns he was just old. Haha

Ok, more to come soon, promise!!!
