1. Praise me when I do something good. Like "Good job, girl, you picked up the dirty socks off the floor." Simple, yet effective.
2. Wings. And beer. Pierogies and kielbasa help, too.
3. Provide very specific feedback when you are reviewing copy. Specific, not general. It won't hurt my feelings. Just tell me what you want. It's ok.
4. Be nice to me. No mean words. No snarky comments. Nice words like, "Mommy, you're awesome even when you're giving me a time out. I love you." or "You lost 5 lbs." or "This is the most perfect copy ever written in the history of man."
5. Be yourself. Meaning, don't forget who you are or where you came from. Be honest. Don't put on airs. What I appreciate most is simplicity and honesty and that means no airs or masks or keeping up with the Joneses (or Kardashians, etc.).
And I'm done.Simple. Easy. I'm happy.
Just so you know, here's a nice list about how to annoy me. Don't try this at home. I will find you and beat your butt.
1. Forget to put chocolate in my cafe mocha. Um, hello, key ingredient. I shouldn't have to run to CVS to buy a $8 box of Splenda and $2 bottle of chocolate syrup to add to my $3.00 coffee.
Thanks, Ukrops. I won't miss your shitty coffee when your store closes and becomes Martin's. Or your overpriced merchandise, either.
2. Not having enough parking spaces in your parking deck so that I'm driving around for 15 minutes and late for my doctor appointment. Thanks, St. Marys.
3. Micromanage. Or have a printer that breaks down. Or take my stapler.
4. Call me at 7:30 a.m. while the bus is picking up my children that school is canceled when we all knew that it would be snowing like crazy today. Um, call BEFORE the buses come. Not during or after. Idiots. Pull the trigger. Have some balls. Make a decision.
5. See above. Rinse, lather, repeat on any given day.
Next post: how to win my love and affection. I swear I'm really a very positive person. Really. Just not today.
I tried to start this blog a year ago. At Christmas. When I had some time. Obviously, it didn't work out so great. I'm giving it a whirl again as I've found myself spending at least 30 minutes a day on Facebook. If I can translate that time into blog time, I'm golden.
Today's a snow day in VA. Schools closed, too dangerous to drive to work (even for a Northeasterner). Figured I'd give it a whirl.
But now I'm tired and grumpy, home bound with grumpy kids, fighting over Star Wars Lego heads, and sick with a sinus infection, raging headache, indigestion and PMS. Good times.
It's 6:15. Think it's time for a beer. Or wine. Is that good for sinus infections?
2. Wings. And beer. Pierogies and kielbasa help, too.
