    X - your post makes me smile. Pax indeed does rock, I'm glad you've got a support system.

    In other news, I had a scan on Monday - I'm cancer free.

    You know, when I just sit down and have time to just mull things over, I find a pretty good solution on my own. I had no idea how much energy I was putting into someone else, them being so damn needy. How much I had ignored my own because I just didn't have enough energy for both of us. I've had some wonderful people recognize this and guide me to find myself again. That is a wonderful gift. Not leading someone but guiding them to find their own path and thereby helping them gain their freedom and power back. What wonderful people I've got in my life. Truly. X is flying again and in the right direction for once.

    And now... I need to contact Mimi. I have an artistic project for her, if she'd like to accept it. MIMI!!!! Please PM me. You've changed your name on here since I used to be on. Can somebody help a girl out on this?

    Trek, you have a wonderful young man working at one of your stores that has helped me immensely lately. Every now and again, somebody gives enough of a **** to do it right.

    Glad you got great service. Not my store, I work for the other company.

    Well, let's assume then that he does a better job because there is an ATT right outside his door (not kidding) and he's been shown the right way to treat people by watching them.

    My DS #2 called me and informed me that he donated blood the other day and the place called him and told him he has West Nile Virus! He is totally asymptomatic and was told only 25% of people get sick.
    Only this child would get this. Of course, he is not a child, but still... he was laughing and I did not think it was funny!

    Some people can just do that, others, not so much. Most in the stores are just great with people and the technology. We're rated on so many metrics; customer satisfaction of course, order quality. tickets, the number of times I actually fix the problem you called about in the first place and so on. Those ratings vary day to day and even minute to minute. But on most days I'm up close to the top, on several times I've actually been number 1 in the company. I should frame that memo.

    But I could not do the work in the stores. I would not be able to keep from laughing at some of the sillier things people do to/with their devices.

    But I was very happy to fix a gals phone recently. She'd gone riding, stuffed her iPhone into her bra not knowing where else to keep it, where it got wet and died. I got it running again. Of course told her to go and get a bento box or under seat bag, maybe from TE for next time.

    If you get a hold of her, tell her we miss her around here!
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
