Just thought that perhaps next time you encountered non-genuine niceness maybe you'd give a thought for the person "on the other side". Maybe there's a headache, stuff going on at home, the boss just told her off unnecessarily...All these things and more contribute to less than stellar service.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-19896450554982606992008-07-29T00:08:00.000+10:002008-07-29T00:08:00.000+10:00River, I apologise for that.

I always have plenty of credit left after my 30 days when I need to recharge and I'd like to give it to someone else. Does the other person have to be with the same phone company?

Up till now if I made soup that needed to be pureed I'd be pushing the stuff through a sieve. A little hard on the wrist to be sure. Blender's very first job wil be pumpkin & sweet potato soup. <BR/>Voltaren does work for me and I didn't even know there was a cenovis alternative. I'll have to check it out. Saving $$$ is a priority of mine.<BR/>R.H. I agree that professional niceness isn't worth much and when I'm being nice on the outside but feeling shitty on the inside I'm sure my customers can tell. When I'm in a good mood, it's a totally different story. A lot of my customers are regulars and we've got to know each other, I like most of them so being friendly and nice is easy and genuine.<BR/>Jahteh, I finally got to meet my almost neighbour, Kath Lockett, who has made an appearance here in your comments. She is really nice. I was too busy in the express lane to have a good chat, but hello, how are you and several other things were said. I was on a happy high for the rest of that day.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-90535816243549639892008-07-28T17:15:00.000+10:002008-07-28T17:15:00.000+10:00Professional niceness is the same in brothels and ...Professional niceness is the same in brothels and supermarkets.<BR/><BR/>It ain't worth much.R.H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04639593801088008224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-15311748621749922882008-07-28T14:29:00.000+10:002008-07-28T14:29:00.000+10:00River, I agree with you, it's the carrying home st...River, I agree with you, it's the carrying home stuff that kills.

It's the only reason I got mine after falling over in the park with no-one around. Pre-paid but if you're sneaky you'll make an arrangement with someone to transfer your balance when you have to top up so the phone company doesn't get it. I do that with my sister and she gives me cash for the next top-up.

That's why we swallow it super fast and follow it very quickly with a couple of squares of yummy chocolate that we broke off in readiness beforehand. I'll be going to bed tonight with voltaren gel rubbed in as hand cream right up to the elbows so that I can get through my stint at the checkout tomorrow. Because I foolishly carried home too much heavy stuff from my shopping trip in town.
