*An Financial Assist For Aging Parents. Children of aging parents spend time to review their finances. Spend time to review their bills. Make sure the parents are paying their bills fairly. Make sure the parents are paying for the services used. Cancel services not used anymore.
*Apply For New Credit Cards November Before Black Friday. I realized years later the new non-banking credit cards I applied when I realized I must grow up happened in November. I have been receiving anniversary coupons in November valid on Black Friday. Time applying for new non-banking credit cards such as retail or sports in November or December. You may be able to use anniversary perks during Black Friday or Christmas shopping holidays seasons.
*Scratching Post For Happiness. Happy cows using the scratching post.
*I Need Assistant Or I Shop Without Assistance.
*Timewise A Second Is A Second. Nobody speeds time when something pleasant is coming soon. Nobody slows time when something dreadful is coming soon.
*Secure Highly Priced Valuables. Break down boxes of highly priced merchandise. Empty boxes on trash night can communicate to thieves the residence has something worth stealing.
*Yellow Post-It Note I Owe You A Beer. Writing short appreciative personal notes is a professional behavior. Good people recognize good work. An appreciate note is I owe you a beer.
In addition, write yellow post-it notes or love letters to show gratefulness to your spouse. Show appreciation. Work is required. Time is involved. Spend time to write letters. Notes or letters keep the relationship strong. Share your feelings. Never take love for granted.
*Different Horses For Different Courses. Agree or disagree?
*The New England Patriots won six Super Bowl championships out of nine Super Bowl appearances. The Patriots are known for cheating. The Patriots cheated. The Patriots were caught. The Patriots were punished with a slap on the wrist. The Patriots cheated again. The Patriots were caught again. The Patriots were punished with a slap on the wrist again. Repeat. The cheating worked. The Patriots are a dynasty from 2000-2019. Is the dynasty extended in 2020?
*Speaking of cheating, Major League Baseball suspended Houston Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow and manager A.J. Hinch for one year, fined $5 million, and forfeited first-round and second-round draft choices for 2020 and 2021. No Astros baseball players were punished. Astros owner Jim Crane fired Luhnow and Hinch on the same day. The $5 million is a slap on the wrist because baseball owners are billionaires. Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora was fired the next day. Cora was the cheating mastermind and Astros bench coach when the Astros won the World Series in 2017. Ironically, there is no punishment for baseball players taking steroids or performing enhancing drugs (PED) during the steroid era.
A lesson on life from sports. There are ironies. Life is unfair. There are life exceptions. Don't waste time making sense out of anything which makes no sense. Cheaters are out there. Cheaters are not cheaters if they don't get caught.
*Consistent Workplace Temperature. I heard a workplace tip from the podcast Awesome Etiquette. There is a solution for workers who change the temperature too hot or too cold without management approval. Management installs a thermostat lockbox or thermostat guard to prevent workers changing the temperatures. If a worker is too hot, then wear coolers clothes and/or use a desk fan. If a worker is too cold, then wear warmer clothes and/or use a desk heater.
Update On A Past Blog
I mentioned about cheating in sports reminded me the blog Top Ten Life Lessons I Learned Watching Sports I wrote on Nov 5, 2016. I add the cheating lesson, life is unfair, and don't waste time making sense out of anything which makes no sense to the list of life lessons learned from watching sports.
