In case you’re measuring how many times your customers get frustrated

Astonishing high number of unread emails
Was email the demise of USPS monopoly? Random photo of someone’s unread emails. Wow.

 

The post office clerk held the credit card and government issued photo id (driver’s license) of the person shipping a box of books.

The name on the photo id and the name on the credit card matched perfectly, even matched the face of the guy standing there.

Years ago his car was broken into, wallet taken, and deputy conducting the report advised to write ‘See Photo” in place of a signature.

The post office will not accept this.

Even though the photo, face, and names match.

In case you’re measuring how many times your customers get frustrated, please count this one, he said.

First world problems.

Who in their right mind writes these things on a resume?

 

If you ever read and compare a bunch of LinkedIn profiles you will begin to notice one astonishing fact. They all sound remarkably the same.

I’m so smart. I’m so smart. I’m so smart.

Seriously, spend 30-40 minutes and read as many as you can.

And then compare yours to all the others.

Scary ain’t it?
