2010 New Years Resolutions

[Shawnee123]

I vow to not kill any hobos this year. Well, that's my plan anyway.

I don't make resolutions. If I want to change something, I just do it. It's not one day a year...then you're just mad at yourself for not doing what you said you'd do (clean my closet, lose 10 pounds...)

Every year, for me, it's the same thing, and I always keep to it because it's easy to do: I remember to acknowledge someone who has gone above and beyond typical duties in service to others. For example: waiter was great. Waiter's boss will get a comment card on waiter's behalf. Simple, easy, and it means a lot to waiter. I know how good it makes me feel when I get such compliments from students.

Bah, there was a cashier at the supermarket who was just fabulous. Friendly, fast, efficient, packed bags logically, just great. So I sent her boss an email telling him how good she was... she got promoted.

I try to do this, but I admit it's patchy. But I got great service again today from someone at the ice arena, and I remembered you saying this and so took the time to track down her boss and email them in praise of the good worker. thanks, shaw.
