Finding Phones for the Office

After purchasing some new phones for the office, I have to say that I was a little disappointed.  You see, we spent a lot of money on the T7316E phones that we purchased and unfortunately, they were not doing what we need them to do.

So, I decided to talk to Comtech Phones, another business phone supplier and get a second opinion.  Maybe I should have done that in the first place, but I didn’t, so I have no one to blame but myself.

After discussing my needs with them, they were able to suggest  some excellent business phones by Toshiba that would work perfectly with our organization.  I purchased the required number of phones and went to the office to set them up.

It was definitely the right choice to get a second opinion, and we are very happy with those phones now.

Some of Our Wedding Decisions

I’ll be the first to admit that planning our wedding wasn’t the easiest thing for us to do. As it turned out my wife and I had different ideas and expectations of how our wedding should turn out and we ended up butting heads on numerous occasions.

It all started when my wife decided that she wanted to have a custom aisle runner at our wedding ceremony. I didn’t really see the relevance or need to have an aisle runner at all. But she explained to me that all of the celebrities were ordering custom aisle runners for their weddings so we should to.

But it didn’t stop there. She wanted to have specific plates, certain brands of tablecloth and even a famous chef (at least in our city) cater the meal. Though all of these bonuses would have been a nice touch, I told her that we couldn’t spend more than the budget we had decided on as we wanted to put a down payment on a home as well.

All in all, the wedding went alright though I think my wife was a little disappointed. Sometimes she brings it up still, but I guess she’ll have to live with it.

Piece of Junk Coffee Maker

Though I don’t drink coffee every day, I do make the point of having coffee on hand just in case someone stops by. I just recently replaced my coffee maker with the best coffee maker on the market (at least according to the sales person I spoke with).

Unfortunately for me, my supposed best coffee pot wasn’t nearly close to being the best at all. In fact, after the last pot coffee I made, I would be happy to take a hammer to it and smash it into a million pieces. Not only did it make a huge mess all over the counter, but it made the worst pot of coffee ever.

So I think I’ll do some research to figure out which are the best coffee makers available on the market before I head off to the store - I don’t want another piece of junk coffee maker.

Creating Masterpieces Everyday

Ever since I was a little girl, I have always been very artistic.  Whether it was learning how to draw from a young age, to hosting a beauty school for my younger siblings, I always loved to create something unique and wonderful each and every day.

After high school, I attended a hair school that was in our town.  The experience there was wonderful and I excelled at the program, though I really did want to do something a little bit more innovative than just doing hair.

So after I became a hair dresser, I worked for about a year to save up enough money to attend a beauty academy in our province.  According to their website, it was a great place to learn how to craft styles and distinct looks for your clients and that is exactly what I wanted to do.

It was the best choice I could have made and to this day, I get to do what I love for a living - make people look beautiful.
