Research Paper on Tattoos »

I knew there was a reason I liked being a sociology major. Today, my professor assigned us a project for the upcoming month. We have to create a research paper on tattoos. Our job is to analyze the reasons people get tattoos, which types of tattoos tend to connect with most people, and if people end up regretting their tattoos.

I was thinking about interviewing some of my friends who have tattoos. One of my friends has several scorpion tattoos and another one has a couple of Jesus tattoos; so, I could discuss the religious aspect of tattoos.

This could be a really interesting study. I’m curious to hear people’s reasoning behind why they get ankle tattoos or back tattoos. Is there a particular reason they get them in a certain place? What’s the inspiration behind their designs?

It’ll also be interesting to see if anyone admits to having tattoo regret. I’ve read some studies showing that up to 50% of all individuals regret getting their tattoos. I wonder if any of my subjects fall in that category.

Beyond interviewing my tattooed friends, I also need to find some great books on the subject. Do any of you have recommendations for books or articles that would be helpful?

Gift Baskets Make Shopping Easy »

I love gift baskets for women.  Whenever I have a gift to by for one of the women in my life, I always buy a gift basket.  Not only are they easy to buy, you can customize them.  And, come on, who doesn’t like getting a basket full of things that they can use and love?  And the real beauty of the gift basket is that you can put everyday things into it and still have it be a special gift.

I think my favourite thing is picking out holiday gift baskets for the women in my family.  Each of them is different, so I get different things in them.  And it really makes more sense than me once again getting my sister some socks and my Mom a sweater she probably won’t wear.

This year for Christmas I got everybody bath spa gift baskets filled will all kinds of goodies like aromatherapy candles, body scrubs and massage oils.  I figured with the way things are going in the world, everyone could use a little bit of relaxation. The baskets were a huge hit and everybody loved them.  What was great that I could order similar baskets with different scents and products in them. I even treated myself to one.

Thoughts about the future »

I am really getting into studying san diego real estate as I think about what I want to do with the rest of my life now that I am finished with school, and I am especially interested in the real estate la jolla has to offer. There are a bunch of ideas I have been tossing around in my mind trying to figure out what the best life path and course of action would be for me, without being influenced by what everyone else wants me to do or be.

I have always entertained thoughts about being a writer too. I think it would be great to get a little cabin out in the woods right next to a lake and just be able to sit there and stay at home all the time and type away on my little typewriter, or I guess the contemporary writer would be using a computer instead rather than a typewriter, and sell lots of really great books. I would probably like to write about mystery stories or maybe adventure stories that would entertain lots and lots of people and maybe even get turned into a movie someday. I guess I will keep thinking about all of the ideas.

Customers hate waiting in line! »

It’s not just on Sesame Street that people hate waiting in line!  Have you ever noticed that people tend to relax visibly when people get in line behind them — even if they haven’t actually moved forward?  No one likes feeling that they are last in line, regardless of where they are in relation to the front.

And of course, there is the quarreling of the people (er, puppets) as to who is first in line.  Cutting in line creates lots of hostility, even if it’s accidental.

Be sure you are aware of how your customers feel about lines — especially the lines at your business.  Feelings of unfairness (cutting in line, having to gamble on which line will move the fastest) and chaos (a disorderly line or a lack of clear rules) can make customers want to leave.  To avoid losing business, do what you can to make waiting in line as pleasant for your customers as possible:

  • Make it clear where the line goes.  If you frequently have long lines and need to wrap them, use post and rope (or even temporary fencing for outdoor lines) to show customers where to line up and stand.  An orderly line looks much less intimidating, and generates fewer hurt feelings, than a line where no one knows who is next or where to stand.
  • Consider having just one line.  Studies should that customers prefer one line as opposed to several.  When there are different lines to choose from, it’s hard to tell which one is going to move faster.  A slow cashier or a slow customer can cause the next customer to wait much longer than people who arrived after him and chose a different line.  There’s nothing to irritate customers more than seeing others get out of the store faster than they do!
  • Patrol the line.  Having someone to “direct traffic,” so to speak, and make sure the rules are adhered to can do a lot to keep people honest and prevent outraged customers.  Happy customers mean repeat customers!
