Customer service is difficult. Don't let anyone tell you differently! Dealing with complaints. Having to balance pleasing the customer & towing the company line. Check out "From the Customer Love Department" by @lisakbuchanan.bsky.social & see how it's done!

While it may feel like the end of the world is nigh, at least there are no zombies in this timeline. But in case I'm wrong, read & bookmark this informative piece from @slashnburnett.bsky.social "Updated explainer: Composting during the zombie apocalypse"👇

Why incorporate zombies into your compost?

Since the tinned goods many people relied on have more or less run out, it’s time to dig in and get growing!

I'm not sure I buy into the whole 5 stages of grief. Maybe everyone is different and has their own stages. Maybe grief is really a staircase. Maybe you should read "Five Flights" by Laura Ingram and revel in the beautiful language of heartbreak.

We've all heard it before. Be careful what you wish for.
This honest, yet heartbreaking flash from @67MGriffin.bsky.social explores the anguish that mental health & substance abuse issues can bring to entire families. This is "What You Wish For When in Pain"

What could it hurt, I think, ashamed of my impulsive wish. My wishes never come true anyway

A story of mine sprung up from last Spring's @smokelong.bsky.social April Fitness. The prompt was using weird taste combos & thinking about what the tastes try to convey. In the final revisions, I used a bit of all five senses. Thank you FFM for sharing!
