Work-From-Home For The Extrovert
Note: This blog is cross-posted on a dear friend's new initiative, Self-Care Sometimes. Check it out! Okay, quick disclaimer: I don’t qualify as a full-on extrovert.

The Business of Service and Kindness
A friend recently told me a story about her awful experience with her cable provider's customer service department. She said that even though her problem was resolved, the agent on the phone made no efforts to be kind. "Isn't that his job?", she questioned. "He is being paid to provide a service.
