What To Update When Your Credit Card Expires

07/18/2014 by Vikki F. Leave a Comment

credit card expired

Most of us don’t pay much attention to when our credit or debit cards expire. It always seems like a date far into the future. You don’t even know what you’re making for dinner tonight let alone what 2017 is going to be like. But eventually that day comes. You don’t think much about it when a new version of your credit card shows up in the mail. All you have to do is call or go online and activate your new card and you’re off to the mall.  Not so fast! If you’re like me you have a lot of your bills and services attached to a card and those won’t get paid until you update!  You certainly don’t want to see the dreaded **declined** when it comes to the important things in life.

03/05/2014 by Vikki F. 4 Comments

worst phrases on internet

OK so I really had no idea that there would be a Part Two to the post I wrote called ‘Quit Saying That! The List of the Worst Sayings on the Internet and in Real Life.’ But here it is. Why? Because after I posted the first one, the Facebook comments, tweets, and co-workers hit me with a ton of other phrases that drive them crazy. This time they are in no particular order.

Quit Saying That! The List of the Worst Sayings on the Internet and in Real Life

02/28/2014 by Vikki F. 7 Comments

worst sayings

At the end of the day let’s think outside the box, shall we?

Thanks to a recent Washington Post article highlighting a list of phrases that the journalists are doing away with, I started thinking about the words and phrases that really annoy me. This led to a conversation with my roommate wherein we spent the better part of 2 hours rattling off the worst things said on the internet, in everyday conversation and at work. The WP article was my inspiration but was not in front of me during the list making venture so I am sure there is some crossover which further substantiates the claim that the phrase needs to leave our collective lexicon.

There are 40 Facebook Personalities. Which One are You?

01/29/2014 by Vikki F. 11 Comments

After 2 years I felt it was time to update this post.  Facebook is constantly changing and so are the types of people posting on your wall. Working in marketing, an important part of my job is to monitor social media activity. In addition to this, on my downtime, I like to catch up with friends and family on Facebook. I spend more time than the average person does looking at Facebook, so maybe I just see more odd behavior.

Here are the 40, yes 40, species of Facebookers that I have discovered (other than the normal ones like you and me of course).  Admittedly, I am not entirely blameless for some of these behaviors.
