Doctors make the worst patients, or so I’ve heard. I am not one, I don’t even play one on TV, but even without a PH. D. I fully grasp the concept that it’s more difficult to help or advise someone on something that they are usually experts in. I am the resident warranty process and […]
Read MoreWith the holiday season right around the corner I can’t help but feel a tad closer to my ETE family. I loved hearing our team members share what the first two core values mean to them. Filled me up with warm fuzzies even more than a cup of hot cocoa can. So I can’t stop […]
Read MoreIssue #530 of RemanU brought you a discussion on core values. Specifically the purpose and the benefits of having them. For the doubters, or the nay-sayers, let me take a moment to prove to you, to show you that our team is stronger, more united and really does “get it”. How can you be so […]
Read MoreWay back before I was sassy and loud, I was shy and well-behaved. I know, shocker. There was a day in third grade and the boy behind me kept pulling my hair. I ignored him for as long as I could but finally broke. I repeatedly whispered for him to stop which in turn just […]

The lunch rush was in full swing but I remember this specific order. “Yea, I’ll have a burger with the works, NO […]
Read MoreI don’t normally eat fast food. But when I do, it usually leads to disappointment . For the past month a commercial from a big chain burger joint has been tempting me to try their new chicken sandwich. It looked amazing. It came with pickles. I’m a sucker for pickles. I managed to abstain, until […]
Read MoreMy go-to grocery store isn’t the biggest or the cheapest, but they make me feel like a friend. My car insurance likely isn’t the best rate out there, but my agent makes me feel like family. The dealership we just purchased two vehicles from doesn’t have the best selection, but the people were invested in […]
Read MoreI’m writing this from 30,000ft in the air on the trip my family was supposed to take exactly one year ago today. We didn’t go because, while we didn’t exactly know what was about to happen in the world, we knew things would get strange. But that’s a story for a different day, and, quite […]
