I had to convince a lady that it was OK to cut my hair. I wanted 24 inches off, and that was still leaving midback length hair. She almost cried as she cut it off.
Thought that was kinda funny. B)

Random question... if you get an email from a supervisor giving kudos on a call well done... should you email them back? This was also forwarded to every supervisor so it's not a one-on-one personal type thing. I feel like I should but what would I say... "thanks for recognizing my awesomeness!"?

"Thanks for noticing me." /eeyore
I send emails like these out to my medics somewhat frequently. I dont expect a reply in response. Usually when I next see them in person Ill thank them again for the hard work, great effort etc. and thats when they thank me for noticing. I also tell them that an entry was made into their electronic employee file so come eval and raise time its there for their manager to see and factor into their eval/raise.
All that to say next time you see them in person thank them for the compliment.

Brown just helped a very nice Nana .... it was a good feeling but Brown tells you what, Nana is getting cheap when it comes to giving out tea and scones these days
In real American please?
What(who) is a nana?
That movie is funny as hell and oddly depressing at the same time. Bonus, it gets me odd looks when ever I say "It's got electrolytes!"

Brown just helped a very nice elderly lady, Brown felt good, but, Brown was insulted with how frugal said nice elderly lady was with her tea (that coffee substitute they drink) and scones.

That movie is scary is what it is! The thought processes, mindsets, and attitudes are already in place in much of this country. I'm not saying it'll ever get that bad, but as the History Channel said last night, History proves one thing very well; all empires fall.
It has always been common for Nana to give the ambos/fireys/coppers tea and scones or bikkies in response to our helpful deeds ....
Or it is not uncommon to spend 10 minutes having a cuppa with Nana after picking her up off the floor and dusting her off while we give her a look over and do our paperwork before departing much obliged to Nana for scones and tea

We sometimes get offered water. And once got offered a $400 tip. We turned it down. But not many people here (that I've seen) will offer stuff. It's kinda like "thank you, but leave now".

I found out we are allowed to accept tips... Private company perks.

Meh, rules about tips are stupid. There comes a time when refusing tips are more insulting than anything else.
