A friend of mine is holding a special fundraiser for a mutual friend in need. She's donating proceeds from her CD sales in the next week to help her out. I think Buffistas would enjoy her brand of folk music, as it includes songs about vampire slayers and dinosaurs with evil laughs.
Please put 'fire sale' in the comments.
My second column is up: "10 by 10: Ten Lessons Learned in Ten Years of Teaching--Part Two" here.
Read, enjoy, ignore, or spread the word.

All y'all good people, with your good hearts? You made me cry and cry last night, with the love and the generosity and the lifeline and the card and the gift basket and the funny and the lifeline and the love. Emily has photographic proof of my sappiness.
On behalf of the entire Zmayhem household, thank you so, so much for making me cry so hard last night. We're so lucky, so blessed to be part of this amazing community. Thank you!
Now I have to go cry some more.
Hola Buffistas!
In an effort to battle Inner Dark Side Monkeys, plus inspiration from a very cool book I just read re: Internet fandom, I'm taking a poke at mine very own creative-type project in the field of, you know...writing and stuff.
No, it's not about the Internet.
It IS about Customer Service. Since I know there are fellow CS reps hereabouts on the board, I'm requesting stories. Anecdotes. Tales From the Trenches.
Any anecdote you feel is notable and worthy of (dimly) possible print someday...whether it be about good CS stories, bad CS stories, good or bad management while you were (or are) working CS...send 'em my way, if you please.
Note that this is primarily about the CS rep point of view. If your story is about good or bad service you've received...well, make that REALLY notable. This is primarily about the reps' POV.
Profile addy is good. Credit and thanks will be given. Eternal gratitude, names shouted from rooftops, etc. etc.
Thanks.
