Considering EVERYONE has a cell phone these days. It clearly has not helped anyone have any phone skills. Considering half of my job is talking to people on the phone it amazes me everyday the types of conversations I have, here is a sample of my favorites.
"Someone from there just called me....(silence)" That's great I'm going to need more information, like your name.
After saying a greeting, which include my name and business,"Who is this?, (business name repeated), that's weird I've never been there." Perhaps you have the wrong number. Or similar, "Are you my vet?" Do you call your doctors office and ask, "Do I go there when I'm sick?"
I answered the phone, and hear "Hi, I have a dog...(silence)" Thanks for sharing, do you need help with that dog or are you just letting us know.
This on is perhaps my favorite, I answered the phone, " Are you driving a white van? And where are you parked?" I asked her to repeat that, and got "What color van are you driving?" I told her she called an animal hospital, and she said, "I guess I have the wrong number." I guess so.
Oh the telephone...some days I wish our clients would just text us.

BORING...
So I haven't posted anything for awhile because I keep waiting for something exciting to post about...
Life has been boring around here. We haven;t done much, because we are gearing up for the Holidays. Nate's family is coming for Thanksgiving, and we are going to CA for Christmas, so we have a lot to look forward to!
Since the last post, winter has arrived! Life adjustments since the season change:
Macy is ANNOYING! She is soo desperate for heat we can;t get away from her. During the summer you couldn't get her to sit with you if you were wearing pants made of bacon, but now as uncomfortable as we try to make her she won't leave!!
We are also fairly confident that she knows how to turn on the electric blanket. We have never seen her do it, but every time she is laying on it, its somehow on.
I am officially addicted to my remote start on my car. It automatically turns on my heated seat, so I use every time I go anywhere.
Our neighbors don't believe in raking their leaves, they prefer to "let them blow away." Away seems to be in our yard.
Last year we had a backyard of dirt, which meant that when it snowed we had a backyard of mud, but this year we have grass, so snow is no longer dreaded.
Perhaps soon something exciting and fun will happen, so I have something to write about.
