Got You Covered: the Remodeling Case for Remote Business Management

Daily5Remodel: Written by: Leah Thayer

When the owner isn't inclined or able to master the challenges of business ownership, can outside professionals do the job?

When the end seemed near — when he thought his only other choice was to close his doors — was when the owner of a small electrical contracting business picked up the phone and asked for help. Six months later, his staff has grown from three to 10, his books and operating procedures are in order (he has collected more than $100,000 in debt, among other things), and his business is well on its way to recovery and even growth....read more here

 

April Fools Day!

As a child my mother loved April Fools Day, and even though we were prepared for the annual event in our home she somehow always seemed to get us every year! 

So mom in your honor...here are some of my favorites that made me laugh!  

The Left-Handed Whopper Burger King published a full page advertisement in USA Today announcing the introduction of a new item to their menu: a "Left-Handed Whopper" specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the advertisement, the new whopper included the same ingredients as the original Whopper (lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc.), but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of their left-handed customers. The following day Burger King issued a follow-up release revealing that although the Left-Handed Whopper was a hoax, thousands of customers had gone into restaurants to request the new sandwich. Simultaneously, according to the press release, "many others requested their own 'right handed' version."




The Taco Liberty Bell 1996: The Taco Bell Corporation announced it had bought the Liberty Bell
and was renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell. Hundreds of outraged citizens called the National Historic Park in Philadelphia where the bell was housed to express their anger. Their nerves were only calmed when Taco Bell revealed, a few hours later, that it was all a practical joke. The best line of the day came when White House press secretary Mike McCurry was asked about the sale. Thinking on his feet, he responded that the Lincoln Memorial had also been sold. It would now be known, he said, as the Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial.



 

Water on Mars?
The Astronomy Picture of the Day from NASA is always a treat, but on April first of 2005 it was a tasty treat -an announcement of the discovery of water on Mars! It was only three years later that the joke became a reality, although many folks were understandably skeptical at first.






Lets not forget the classics....pulled on me almost every year!

Loosen the top of the salt shaker!!  (classic!)

Bucket of Water on top of door!  (I'm sure my brothers did this to me...but I like to block this out!)

Set the clocks to a different time! (I do this on normal days just to get the day over!) 

I hope you all enjoyed!!  
Have a great day and if you keep life full of fun it can never let you down...enjoy April 1st !
