Speaking of Restrictions…

In case you wonder why I would consider restricting the access to certain posts in the future – check this out: “Free Speech — Virtually“. Yes, you could get in trouble for what you blog about. Or when you blog. Or why you blog. Blogs have many, many positive aspects, and the list of people I have met thanks to my blog is very long and includes many people that are near and dear to my heart. But that doesn’t matter to the boss, does it? [via Robyn]

Then again, there are places like Snarky Bitch where you can keep your rants much more private in a public way!

A Call for Help…

Rewriting what I wrote so it’s not so cryptic, this post has been edited from it’s original form…

I have a little call for help… No, not the TV show. (Did you catch Chris yesterday? He rocked!) This call for help involves comments. I know you’re out there, and yet you’re not saying anything. Sooooo… if you’ve never left a comment before, could you leave one now? Pretty please? I love knowing who has been here! I just have to say it every few months – this is an open space. I welcome comments from everyone, even if I don’t know you. Heck, most of the bloggers that I do know I met thanks to comments! There is no inner circle, no special club. Even if the most you want to say is “hey! I’m here!” and nothing more – it’s all good. Now is your chance to speak up and be noticed! So, are you out there? Have you said “Hi!” yet? What’s standing in your way? I promise – it’s not me. I want to hear from you! So speak up! Everyone is welcome at the Casa de Big Pink Cookie!

Add to that the fact that I am working with Jennifer to test some ScriptyGoddess goodness and I will probably put a “Restricted Access” system in to place in the future if I get a new job and I want to hide certain posts from “The Man”. Your comments now would help me out in the future! See, even more of a reason to leave a comment!

Pay Attention, Please…

Just some random things you should never do that I came across today:

:: If you work a help desk type of job, let’s say for the Texas Unemployment Office, please speak clearly when telling someone information about their benefits. Please do not snap at the person who can not understand you when they ask you to repeat things. Please do not cop a ‘tude when they don’t answer your questions because they don’t hear them. If they tell you several times that they can’t hear you, please speak up or move your mouthpiece so you come through more clearly. Thank you.

:: When sending out Christmas e-mails to people that have lines in them like “Keep the Christ in Christmas”, please pay attention to the recipients on your list. If you do not know what faith they practice, don’t send it. If you know that they are Jewish, don’t send it. Send them a “Happy Holidays!” note or something. Wish them a happy New Year. But don’t send them a “Keep the Christ in Christmas” note unless you want to get a snappy response in return. (Christmas postings in blogs are different. It’s to whoever reads it – you’re not sending it directly to an inbox.)

More Pictures…

Long ago I got a bunch of photos ready to post in Pixelog, but then I never got around to actually doing it. I had several calls to make this morning that required sitting on hold, so now there are new photos (at last!) over in Pixelog, and I’ll add more later today and throughout the weekend. Enjoy!

See Yourself…

New pictures up in Picture Yourself, and there are some GREAT ones waiting in the wings! I hate to approve them all at once, so I’ll move on to the next round tomorrow, and more on Saturday! Do you have holiday photos to submit? What are you waiting for?
