Helping the smokers.........kind act 56

Kind act from 1/12/08

Saturday I was helped to clean up Cleveland and helped the smokers have a place to hang out. Me and a few friends had went out clubbing on West 6th Saturday night. Very good time... But, at the end of the evening. We were walking back to the car and we happened to walk by a public ash tray that has been tipped over. It was one of the those really big heavy ones that are made of stone. Someone really had to be on a mission to tip it over. I wanted to help clean up Cleveland, because I really like this city. So, I went over there and muscled the thing back up right (It was really fricken heavy!). There were a few people watching so they were quite impressed...haha So smokers, now its just your job to make sure you throw your butts in the ash tray.

Romero, you awake?...........kind act 55

Kind act from 1/11/08

This one is actually kind of funny. So Friday night was my deparment's YEE (Year End Event). This is basically what most other companies call a Christmas party. We just keep it nondenominational and party a lot harder!! I really do work for a great department, because everyone has just such a laid back attitude....but, we also get our stuff done too!

Well anyway, we had the party at The Boneyard this year. Very fun bar... And a few of us ended up staying for quite a while even after our private party part had ended. So, at the end of the night, me and my girlfriend were walking out to our car. (She drove for me, such a nice girl). We saw my friend Romero with his head down sitting in his car in the parking lot. I was like oh no, we need to go check on him. So we went over there and as it turns out; he was perfectly fine, he just had his head down because he was looking at his cell phone while he texting some girl he knew!! Romero is definitely a ladies man, perhaps he should change his name to Romeo...

The door for Wendy's.......kind act 54

Act from 1/10/08

Today when I got home from work. I got home just in time to see my dad balancing his way to the house with his hands full of Wendy's! It really was quite a funny sight. I wanted to make sure he made it through okay, so I ran up there and opened up the door for him! I mean hey, he might of broken his neck!! Don't forget to hold the door for people!! (Men and Women)

Cell phone problems.....kind act 53

At my job I have a few friends that I goto lunch with on a regular basis. We are good friends so when one of use miss the lunch, we always give them a hard time... So for today's act, one of my friends had to get some things straightened out with his cell phone. He was basically going on a field trip for the duration of lunch. He really didn't feel like going alone. So I ended up going with him to provide some company. The lunch crew has to stick together!!

Follow up.......kind act 52

kind act from 1/8/08

Today at work one of colleagues had to take the day off. He had quite a decent amount of work that needed some kind of follow up. My work load was rather lite for the day. So when my boos was trying to figure out what to do with his work, I went over and offered up my help. She was very grateful for the assistance and I was able to follow up with almost his entire workload by the end of the day.... Its always great to help out your co-workers...

You must be an angel......kind act 51

I really like today's random act of kindness.

I have kind of an interesting job at Progressive. I am a Network Specialist with the Progressive Total Loss Concierge Group. Basically it is my job to help our customers find a new car if they have a total loss with their car. You really end up meeting some interesting people through my job.

As for the kind act, I have been helping this lady since last week find a replacement for her little Cavalier. She does quite a bit of driving around the city to help with home health care and various other things. She has been self employed for the past 14 years and loves her job. She also told me about how she has loves the ministry and is very active with her church. She was so proud of the work she did and I had such a nice time talking to her.

So today she had to fax in a copy of her drivers license to finalize the purchase of her new car (A Mazda 5). So when I received her fax, the way the holograms copied on her license, it looked like she had a little halo going around her head. I thought it was neatest thing considering how much she loved her church and helping with the ministry. So I called her after I got the fax and told her she must be an angel. So was just so touched that I shared the little story about her halo. She was just so happy for everything we had done for her. Its these type of deliveries that really make my job worthwhile...

Entertaining the Cousins........kind act 50!!

This act is from Sunday 1/6/08

Hooray for kind act 50!! This is a huge marker for me. Thank you to everyone who has been reading. Also thanks for all of the encouragement to keep this blog going. Please leave comments whenever you can. It really means a lot to know what you thinking!

Well anyway, as for Sunday's kind act. My little cousins from my Dad's side of the family stopped by with my uncle for a belated Christmas party. Well since there were no other kids the same age, my little cousins were quite bored at first. So I wanted to cheer them up. I figured Nintendo Wii would be the best way to have some fun. Needless to say my cousins wholeheartedly agreed with me! We ended up having an absolute blast. Even my uncle and parents joined in on the fun.... Gotta love Nintendo Wii......
