Debbie loves www.wordfinds.net – A free application on this site allows you to create a custom word finder puzzle. I created one for our Sayce family reunion that featured words from our family folklore. Just put in the words you want included, hit submit, and voila, you have a word finder puzzle. The Sayce word finder generated a lot of discussion because the in-laws and children didn’t know the meaning behind many of the words. A custom word finder is also a great way to enliven your company newsletter or an event invitation too. Give it a try. It’s fun!
Jennifer loves Home Depot – I recently paid a visit to our local Home Depot for some items we needed at the office. Two special sized light bulbs were on my list, and as I entered the store, I faced an entire aisle of light bulbs. Lucky for me, a helpful employee approached me to ask if I needed help. I took him up on the offer, and he had me in and out of that section in no time. Next on my list was a step ladder. As I wandered around the tools section with a bewildered look upon my face, yet another helpful employee approached me to offer assistance. I was shown some different options, as well as the highlights of each. I made my selection, and was on my way back to work in record time. If only we were greeted with such great customer service everywhere we go!
Nathan loves Facebook Vanity URLs – I was pretty boring with mine, just using Nathan Snell, but it’s great to have a convenient way to link to my profile now versus having to remember my profile ID number like before. Although one downside of the vanity system was you had to have a vanity url over 4 letters. While there are obvious reasons behind this, it prevented some good ones like wine, or cool, and so forth. Never the less. I love the new Facebook Vanity URLs. My favorite so far has been default.aspx.
Susan loves Take Your Dog To Work Day – Though I don’t have a dog, National Take Your Dog To Work Day is always a fun time. For those of us who don’t have or don’t plan on having kids it’s a great way to celebrate the “children” we do have. And having a pooch in the office always make the day a little more enjoyable. Too bad cats are such reclusive creatures or I’d start a Take your Cat To Work Day and force Chaucer and Pippin out of the house!
