I guess this means that Walmart truly is a "Cradle to Grave" company. Wonder how long delivery takes...

Hubby and I both listened to Violette's wonderful reading. We both remember the fun of these kind of assignments.

Violette - You recite very well. Keep up the great work!

I hear you about the salaries issue. Have been looking for a new position and have been flabbergasted at the salaries I am being offered. Very low - not something you could live on. I wonder why our roles are so undervalued?

Re: Comment Contest: Win a Weekend Pass to Blog World Expo

BlogWorld last year rocked my world. Getting to meet people in real life that I know online was amazing. The content and the converstation excited me and energized me. It allowed me to share great stories about the company I represented.

Why would I love to go this year? The conversations, the energy, the company. After 9 months out of touch, the chance to catch up would be great.

Why should Mashable send me? Because I will tell everyone there and elsewhere what a great group the Mashable crew is. Because I will talk you up everywhere. Because .. I don't know... Because I am willing to video interview peeps and share them with anyone who wants to see it!

Re: Social Gaming as Social Grooming: Mafia Wars and my High School Reunion

callkathy — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 19:57:38 -0000

For me the high school friend/ Facebook connection started last year. I re-connected with one of my best friends from that era. We have been playing Lexulous since we reconnected. We have exchanged "Did you know XXX was on FB?" messages and connections. We have started 3-way games with another member of our crew.

And... We have gotten each other addicted to other FB games. In Lexulous, we can really chat - I like that. In Castle Age, we just pass each other stuff as we move through the quests - I don't like that quite as well.

The really interesting thing is that we have found we connect just as much now as we did over 2 decades ago (yeah - we are passed that 20 year reunion mark). If our class were to have a reunion now, I would probably go - because of FB and the games. Prior to that, I wouldn't have even thought about it.

Re: Ideas for Hotels and Hospitality

callkathy — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 17:38:21 -0000

I would love to see more hotels go in the direction of "personal interests" for frequent stayers.

For example: I regularly ask for non-feather pillows when I make a reservation. The request is seldom passed to the front desk. Doesn't matter what level of hotel. Doesn't matter where I am staying. The default now is feather pillows and a feather comforter. Ask to have something else when registering and you will just have to ask again when you get to the room.

It used to be the same for non-smoking rooms. Customers pushed back on that, but it took law changes to make it happen. As Jaimie says, it seems that the hotel industry just doesn't want to look at the individuals - they want what ever makes it easy for them.

Re: Twitter Memes

One reason I love #followfriday? It allows me to show off those people around the twitterverse that I listen too. Not just those I follow. Not just those who I would like others to follow. Those whose tweets in the last week have made a difference to me. Some are people who always are worth listening to (@betsyweber for example). Others are those who impact things I ran into that week (problems, questions, etc.). But most are those who said something that I listened to enough to remember it.

Very glad you started it!

Are you sure no one was there? Maybe you just couldn't see them? (Ghosts move more silently than zombies)
