Companies on Twitter
Posted on December 19, 2008 by Ching under Blog, Web.
It’s funny. The other day when I was tweeting a lot about Carrabba’s I had told Brian jokingly, “Just watch. Carrabba’s is going to start following me any day now.” Jason’s Deli and a few other companies had found me the same way. One day I was tweeting about them (in the case of Jason’s Deli, I had posted a couple of food pictures), the next day they’re following my updates. Sure enough, I received an email notifying me that Carrabba’s is now following me. In return I started following them, too.
There are a lot of companies already utilizing Twitter to creep out their customers. Comcast being one. I remember I had posted a link to an article about this exact same thing, and I received an @reply back from them saying something to the effect of it’s not being creepy per se but more good customer service than anything else. Anyway, since I’ve been posting a lot about my dissatisfaction with FedEx and not delivering my package as scheduled, I wonder if they’ve noticed. Does anyone know if FedEx is on Twitter? We’ll find out soon enough I guess.

Heroes won’t be back until February 2, 2009. Mondays are not the same. =P

Christmas Decorations

Our building looks so festive this time of the year…
On our floor alone, we have at least two Christmas trees that I know of… one regular tree and one tree dedicated to our Salvation Army angels.
Oh, and did I mention that we had carolers in the building the other day? How cool is that? I’ve never worked in a building that had carolers before.

Nuts from Nifty Nut House
Posted on December 19, 2008 by Ching under Food and Drink.
Our boss gave each of us a box of mixed nuts from the Nifty Nut House. Yum! Except I left my box at work (I had left it out so that my team and other CSRs could have some) and forgot to take it home with me. I’m debating on whether or not I want to go back to work later and get it. =P

Cards for the Boss

Option 1:
Option 2:
Brian and I went to Hallmark the other night to pick up a group Christmas card for my boss. I found two that I liked, but ultimately gave Brian the final say. We opted with Option 2. 🙂
The color scheme went well with the Bed Bath & Beyond gift card… That and, well, it’s funny.
