Customer service is difficult. Don't let anyone tell you differently! Dealing with complaints. Having to balance pleasing the customer & towing the company line. Check out "From the Customer Love Department" by @lisakbuchanan.bsky.social & see how it's done!

I'm not sure I buy into the whole 5 stages of grief. Maybe everyone is different and has their own stages. Maybe grief is really a staircase. Maybe you should read "Five Flights" by Laura Ingram and revel in the beautiful language of heartbreak.

A story of mine sprung up from last Spring's @smokelong.bsky.social April Fitness. The prompt was using weird taste combos & thinking about what the tastes try to convey. In the final revisions, I used a bit of all five senses. Thank you FFM for sharing!
