Walk the Wright Environmental Education Center park.
This is more difficult than it sounds. 2 days ago

I drive past it every day, but I’m going to or coming home from work(when I’m tired). The place is only open at irregular times for scheduled events.



Leave a positive written comment for an employee at least 4 times over the course of a year. (read all 2 entries…)
Left a written commendation on the Verizon website. 2 days ago

For one of their employees, who was extremely pleasant and helpful. Since I usually don’t expect exemplary service from Verizon, it was especially nice.



Go 21 days in a row without complaining (read all 9 entries…)
Started over about a week ago. 2 days ago

When I mentioned to a coworker that I hadn’t complained in 2 weeks, she mentioned a comment I had made about a birdfeeder she had recommended. I had mentioned that it didn’t hold enough to last for more than a couple of days because we sell this feeder, but since she had recommended it, she took it as a complaint. When I said I would start over again, she wanted me not to count it, but if it bothered her enough to mention it and remember it as a complaint, then it counts as a complaint, since I’ve already decided that my intent is not the only criteria for judging what is or is not a complaint.
