I was reading that there was a study done about animals detecting the earth’s magnetic field. The study showed that cows and deer tend to align their bodies in a north-south direction. The scientists say they are surprised that hunters and herdsmen and farmers didn’t notice it. Who says farmers didn’t notice it? Did they ask any farmers? Maybe farmers noticed it but were too busy farming to care about something like that and get all excited about it and report it to a scientific community. I mean really, why would a farmer even think that anyone would care about something like that? Big whoop!
Well yesterday was a little more work than I had planned on. Some drunk lost control of his truck and ran off the road and through one of my fences. Some of the cattle escaped the pasture. So I had to spend several hours rounding up the escapees and moving them to a different pasture while I mended the broken fence. This happens from time to time, so I always have the materials on hand to mend the fences, but it is always an aggravation when it happens. I wish all cars and trucks had a meter in them that tested the breath of the driver and if they register as having too much alcohol in them the vehicle wouldn’t start. It was a drunk driver that caused the accident that killed my parents, so I don’t have a lot of patience or empathy for any of them.
With money so tight, all the way around and across the board, as consumers we are all looking for ways to save money, while businesses are searching for ways to drum up business and bring our hard earned money into their bank accounts. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not dissing anyone running a business, just stating a hard fact.
It seems that customer satisfaction surveys are a growing way for companies to hear how they are doing as well as finding ways to bring their current customers coming back. I don’t mind taking these surveys if there is something in it for me, not just the promise of being entered into some sweepstakes that the odds are completely stacked against me winning anything at all.
There are a few places that if you complete one of their customer satisfaction surveys that you will be given a code to write some where on your receipt so that you will receive some type of discount on your next purchase, those are surveys that I have no problem taking the time to complete. I always don’t mind a quick survey that only takes a few moments online since I’m on a computer some where most of the day. The kinds that I really refuse to complete are the kinds that come in the mail, no time for that and I don’t appreciate them junking up my mailbox with such trivial concerns.

Well the search is on for a good buy on my dell 3115cn toner that I am figuring on needing here pretty soon. It is something that I have kept thinking about doing but it kept getting put on the back shelve time and time again and now I can’t waste anymore time dilly dallying around until the last minute. It really bites when you want and or need to print something out only for the printer to spit out the most god awful copies of the documents that you need right away.
The are many highly competitive companies out there vying for our business for our printing equipment and all of the necessary accessories that keep us happy printing campers. And finding them online makes it such an easier task to tackle trying to find the best bang for your buck. I always look for sales, coupons, discounts and free shipping is a must on every order or it doesn’t get ordered. Hopefully I can find the sweetest deal possible this weekend and order at least two or three of them in an effort to keep me printing for some time and not have to go through this again for a good long while.
