Tupelo Flea Market


It was a very eventful weekend at the Tupelo Flea Market for Brad’s Electronics. As you can guess it was wall to wall people and tiny dogs (as they have to be small enough to carry). I had considered carrying my dog and putting him in a DIRECTV tee until I realized he would not appreciate being held all weekend. Although considering I knocked over a 42 oz glass of tea, I feel my black Cocker Spaniel Harley would have probably made less of a mess than I did. I loved seeing all the kids coming by with their parents. Of course we had some toy footballs and we shared them with the kids while we talked service with the parents. All in all it was a great weekend. We got some sales and quite a few people had questions about our services and were just glad to see a live person there to assist them. If you came by to see us be on the lookout to see if you are the winner of our $50 Outback Steakhouse gift card. We will be posting the winner on Facebook (and of course calling and emailing them). We plan to be back at the Tupelo Flea Market in hopefully our same spot in building three in a couple of weeks. A reminder to all our friends, REFER A FRIEND. That was one of the most popular things to discuss this weekend as we ran into so many customers who already had our services. If you are a current customer and refer a friend who signs up (and gives us your account number) you both save $100. Read closely here…YOU save $10 per month on your bill for ten months…THEY save $10 on their bill for ten months. If you have a lot of friends and dozens of cousins then BAM, you are in business!!! Have a great day friends!

ROOSTER NEWS

Well it finally happened...I have lived in my new residence for almost a full month now and I have not had any trouble out of the pesky rooster in their yard. Until today....my alarm goes off, I decide to "snooze" but due to the rooster being vocal next door I lost that option. This is ok , as I needed to get to work. The funny thing is when I posted to Facebook the simple commen,  "dang rooster", I had a friend ask If I was at Chik-Fil-A and I was confused. She explained that once she was at Chik-Fil-A and they had a rooster running around the drive through. We continued to roll through the conversation with comments about a pig at a BBQ place etc. She says that the kind people of Chik-Fil-A told her it was their pet and Im not sure that she didn't believe them (ok I know she is smarter than that but it makes tis much more interesting lol). You know how some people will believe ANYTHING hahahaha. Hey wait, I resemble, I say I resemble that remark (said using my best Foghorn Leghorn impersonation).  That's why I chose to call my blog today "Rooster News".
Todays "Rooster News" is a loud screaming reminder that DIRECTV powered by Brad's Electronics is the best choice for your TV needs. Everything you need is available and I BET we can beat the prices you are paying for cable. Give us a chance. Call today at 877-815-6093. If you are in the North Mississippi area, stop by our DIRECTV store at 224 Hwy 15 North in Pontotoc. We offer a local and ffriendly face all the time with much faster installation.R

Good morning and happy rainy Monday everyone!!! Have you checked out all the great shows you COULD be catching up on this week if you had DVR from DIRECTV and Brads Electronics??? New episodes of Survivor started last week and my favorite summer guilty pleasure Big Brother ended. Rachel, the snobby former houseguest, walked away with a chunk - o - change. Yeah my day is coming and I'll be sure you all read about when I become a millionaire. I want to now ask for favors. I was told you never start a conversation asking for things .......just food for thought. As the weeks of Autumn come upon us, we at Brad's Electronics are seeking to grow out Facebook friends. Not so we can bug ya , but so we can get to know you. What is Facebook you ask? Well unless your living under a rock you better know. You don't have to be business minded to have a fb (that's how all the cool folks write it) page. You just have to enjoy seeing what your friends and family and those around you do. As a matter of fact, you will find out more on fb about your grandkids than you ever will in conversation with them. Sad but true and we are a fb world. You can even get to your fb on a pre-paid phone so no excuses! Here is our link:

Nick News shows 9/11 from the view of the kids---10 years later

Kids of 9/11 get a voice as 10th anniversary looms

Image: Lucas Brody
Reuters
Lucas Brody, 20, is one of the persons featured in the Nickelodeon News special "What Happened?: The Story of September 11, 2001." Brody watched the World Trade Center towers fall from his family's SoHo apartment.
   
Lucas Brody was just 10 years-old when he watched the Twin Towers fall to the ground one block from his New York home on September 11, 2001; Caitlin Langone was 12 when her police officer dad died that day trying to rescue people from the scene.
Millions of other children in the United States were not born in 2001, or were too young to remember — still less comprehend — the traumatic events of September11.
But as the United States prepares to mark the 10th anniversary of 9/11 with an onslaught of TV specials, children are finally being given a voice and a chance to ask pressing questions.
"It's a story that is not often heard — 9/11 from a children's perspective. It tends to have been overlooked," said Janice Sutherland, producer of "Children of 9/11", to be broadcast on NBC on September 5.
  1.  
Dozens of other TV documentaries, interviews and looks back at the attacks deal with everything from the recollections of then-President George W. Bush to the ongoing health problems of Ground Zero rescue workers, the hunt for Islamic militants and even how dogs helped victims recover from the catastrophe.
"Children of 9/11" follows a year in the lives of 11 kids who lost parents in the attacks on New York, Washington D.C, and in Flight 93 that was forced down in Pennsylvania.
In another program at youth-oriented channel Nickelodeon, award-winning journalist Linda Ellerbee lays out the facts for 6-14 year-olds who don't have first-hand recollections in the Nick News special "What Happened?: The Story of September 11 2001" airing on Thursday.
Many adults still find it too painful to relive that day and its graphic TV news footage. But Ellerbee, 66, said the "noise around the 9/11 anniversary is going to be too loud for kids to ignore — and they'll get a lot of misinformation."

'Ignorance is not bliss'"I believe we needed to put together a show explaining in simple clear terms just what happened on that day, what happened next and how people felt about what happened," Ellerbee said. "Ignorance is not bliss; ignorance is dangerous."
In a third program, ABC News will report on the lives of the Florida children to whom Bush was speaking when he got news of the attacks.
According to a study carried out for Nickelodeon by the Harrison Group and Harvest Research, 92 percent of kids as young as 8-11 are aware of the importance of 9/11. But their information is sometimes wildly at odds with the facts.
"I heard that on 9/11, 500 planes disappeared into the air," one young girl told Nick News. Others thought the Islamic militant hijackers were Hindus, or came from Japan.
The Nick News show, airing on September 1, does not show film of the hijacked planes smashing into the World Trade Center but it advises youngsters to watch with a parent. Educational and other materials are available online in partnership with the American Psychological Association.
"Children of 9/11" producer Sutherland said she was used to hearing adults talking losing children, but not the reverse.
Image: Caitlin Langone
Reuters
Caitlin Langone is one of the persons featured in the new NBC documentary "Children of 9/11." Langone was 12-years-old when her police officer dad died that day trying to rescue people from the scene of the World Trade Center.
"Most of them felt an incredible sense of responsibility for the surviving parent, and a fear of what would happen if they lost that parent...It is something they have had to deal with on their own." she said.
Caitlin Langone, now 22, was in school when a teacher told her class about the attacks. Like many of the children in the new shows, she had no idea that her father was involved.
Until taking part in "Children of 9/11," Langone said she had never seen her experiences reflected in the public domain.
"I felt this documentary was my opportunity to tell my story in my own words. I hope it gives people a better understanding. I hope it makes 9/11 more personal and more real for them," Langone said.
Both the NBC and Nick News programs have a hopeful message. Sutherland said "Children of 9/11" is ultimately life-affirming because it shows children at their most resilient.
The Nick News special recalls the efforts of firefighters, and rescue workers, and reminds children of the unity that swept the United States in the weeks immediately after 9/11.
And it features the message "We will survive".

The King is Dead

Yes I am extremely glad its Friday. This weekend entails me lying on the couch getting caught up with a few missed episodes of True Blood (brought to me by DIRECTV of course). There are a few things you will learn about me as I blog here.....One....I Love food....Two...I Love TV ....and Three.....I am an online junkie...I read many articles and self help, etc....So I will share with you often the news of the weird that may or may not have anything to do with Brads Electronics and our awesome Hughes Net Internet service and DIRECTV (read that last sentence again please).

This week  I stumbled across some interesting news.....Burger King after all these years has fired the KING....That's right. Due to a new marketing strategy hoping to compete more with McDonalds and Wendys they want to appear less cheezy and more health concious with a focus of veggies etc on their new commercials. The latest creation ---The California Burger with......Guacamole....Im not sold on this one yet. I do love a great BK Burger, however I dont know that I would fire the KING....Maybe send him on a vacation in Cancun for a bit but when you build yourself and brand yourself so well is starting over such a good idea? Just some food for thought....A link appears below to the story....

Have a great weekend friends and until next time, GET HOOKED ON SOME GREAT TV AND CALL BRADS ELECTRONICS TO GET YOU GOING WITH DIRECTV SERVICE :)

How much do YOU know about satellite internet??


Do you know all the terms and jargon associated with satellite internet? Most people don’t. In fact most people just say  ---GIVE ME MY INTERNET!

That’s all fine and good but sometimes it can be to your benefit to know what you are looking at when searching for a provider for your internet needs.  Hughes Net is top of the chain in service and available features and here is just a sampling of some behind the scenes details that you might find interesting if you are a current Hughes Net customer , or if you are looking to join the Hughes Net family with Brads Electronics. So get a big tall glass of sweet tea and read up.

Broadband is the common term utilized to reference high-speed info transmission through networks, and these days is utilized increasingly to indicate a fast World Wide Web connection. The phrase has more to do with the electrical waveform being transmitted. The transmission can come to you via a variety of actual instruments: a Digital subscriber line, a T1 line, a TV wire, a wireless link and even your utility electrical power cable. Should you reside in a rural area, the only true broadband choice is satellite internet.

Which physical set up is greatest for you depends a great deal on what is accessible in your geographical region and also the price of every arrangement. You should compare speeds and costs and select what is optimal for you. Just be sure you don't choose an ISDN line (simply because it is obtaining obsolete) or electric power line (simply because the technologies is not mature, also it is going to be many years prior to the bugs are ironed out).

High-speed broadband Web access has introduced a lot of useful capabilities towards the rural web user:



1. Good Movies



Very first of all, you are able to get smooth, non-jerky video. Who wants to be watching the funny lady sing on You Tube only to buffer every 10 seconds??? As a result a large number of sites are including rich graphics, Flash and movies to improve the attractiveness of these messages. You can now download feature films from more than 200,000 Web TV stations and view them while they stream into your computer. No additional trips towards the video library and no more need for renting DVDs!



You can share your display and consult with co-workers located far from you (or perhaps relax and play Xbox 360 or PS2 games along with them). You are able to interact together in the convenience of the home pc, and also the require for a physical office could be avoided. This implies less travel inside your car, much less gas consumption and much less pollution of the environment by engine tailpipe fumes.



You can search online video records with specific search engines like yahoo. This signifies you are able to download videos that fit your selected key phrases. Examples could be "online sports", "twenty five ways to save money" or "how to fix a faucet". There is no longer a have to await your subject to be broadcast.



2. Inexpensive International calls



Broadband has allowed the wonder of cheap long-distance Internet telephone systems. This program relies on the well-known technology, Voice over internet protocol. You are able to now talk to your family or business colleagues generally in most other areas in the world for only 2 cents per minute!



No a lot more waiting for late hours midweek or weekends to get those "no cost minutes"… you can have enough money to speak anytime. Additionally, the sound clearness is a number of times better than that of a traditional telephone call… voices are loud and crystal clear with little if any background noise.



This signifies you are able to keep in contact a lot more frequently. You are able to get information quicker and provide information without having delay. As an example, a well-timed declaration regarding a certain medical treatment could very well protect the life of the person on the other end!



3. Always On Line

With high speed broadband, you're always connected with the Internet. No a lot more dialing up and waiting to get in touch. The phone dialing period is liberated for you personally to use for other agendas.

Typically, you get a telephone connection using the concurrently talk about the phone and browse the Web. Your phone line won't be busy whenever you browse to ensure that individuals can access you even when you are online.

One essential element of the constant connectivity is protection. You can have affordable webcams attached in various areas of the house or office and connect them to the Internet. Because your internet connection connection is constantly live, you can monitor your home from anywhere, anytime. No more being concerned when away from your desk or living room!





Review

The day isn't very far when dial up internet connections will be a distant memory. If you have not upgraded to broadband, start working at doing this right now. You'll definitely not rue this.

Randomness...

So obviously for those that follow the blog (thank you!), I have missed one this week.  I do apologize, but unfortunately health issues have caused the delay.  More specifically, issues in the form of a midget with a bat running around my head like a lunatic causing me massive pain in the brain.  In other words, I had a migraine that was making me sick and incapacitated.  For those that have never had a migraine that bad, I envy you, but for those of us who have they really really...suck.  After a visit to the evil witch with the pointy thing (the ER), I do feel better though.  I have lots of friends and family that are nurses, and as much as I love you guys... if a patient says "that didn't hurt" when you poke them with a needle, they're lying to make you feel better!  Sorry.  I know I shouldn't burst your bubble like that, but it's the truth.  IT STILL HURTS!

At any rate, after that little bit as a pin cushion, my past couple of days were pretty much boring.  I kept my tv on the Science Channel for the most part.  Something about Morgan Freeman's voice just soothed my head.  Well, that and it didn't require a lot of concentration to watch that channel.  Plus, I learned a whole bunch of things about Stephen Hawkin's black hole radiation stuff, and they also had this really cool thing about ion engines.  Although, every time I hear Ion engine I think TIE fighter from Star Wars, which stands for Twin Ion Engine.  I'm just waiting for the day when we can have those, and then have epic space battles!  What?  Don't look at me like that.  You know the little dork in you would be happy to see them too.  And don't act like you're not making those "pew pew" noise either!  :P

So, I do have a question.  When you're sitting at home because you can't go to work/school due to illness, what do you do all day?  See, I sit around and keep light stuff on to try and soothe me, reading if I possibly can, and trying to sleep when I can.  I did find out some interesting bits though.
Here goes my list of fun facts, because you know a little useless knowledge never hurt anyone:

1.  Tomorrow is Donald Duck's Birthday!  He'll be 77.  While not my favorite cartoon character, he's still one of the top 10. ;)  No one can beat out Marvin the Martian.  Sorry.  He does look rather dashing in his little sailor suit and fluffy tail, though.  He's so cute!  Source: Donald Duck's Wiki

2.  This day in history.  Actually these are all pretty interesting, but I do have one big question... HOW DO THEY KNOW!?  If I'm not mistaken the calendar we currently use wasn't around until 1580's or close enough.  So obviously the more current events I can understand, but Mohammad's death... really?  :P  Today in History


3.  What calendar do we use?  I'm so glad you asked!  See this is why you should have paid attention in class.   What kind of calendar is it?!

4.  How many bones does your head contain?  I probably could have counted every one of these for the past two days because that little midget wanted to play with every one of them! By the way, the sounds of "Ow ow ow, please quit hurting, I promise I'll be good if you just make it stop" is not great lyrics for a song.  According to Medicinenet.com, we have 29 of them, including the itty bitty baby ones in the ear.

5.  Animations are harder to do than they look.  It took me over 24 hours to do a small 30 second video.  I didn't know this, but 3D animations require every tiny movement to be rendered to it's own separate picture, or frame.  Shadows, lights, ect. effect how long it takes to render one frame.  299 frames, or pictures, took around 5-6 minutes each.  I don't see an animations career in my future because I have very little patience. :P
Hope everyone has a great day, and enjoyed your weekend!

Mastery of Music...

So I noticed today that while I do work with crazies (hey I didn't have anything to do with their mental state although I probably don't help it either) they also have some very eclectic tastes in music.  Okay, I should explain.  See, the office staff here at Brad's Electronics ranges in age from around 20 to well much older :P.  I'm not getting beat for revealing too much on that age bit, or tripped by a walker as I wander down the halls.  Yup, I'm probably getting beat for that one hehe.

At any rate, back to the music.  Shockingly enough the older generation favors more modern tastes than the younger generation.  It's rather odd.  Well, maybe not odd but it does give one pause.  See, I'm more of a "if it sounds good I like it" kind of girl.  My musical tastes range from Bach to Britney (don't judge me) and occasionally throwing a little Sinatra in there for flavor.  Although, Sinatra in my opinion could have a category all by himself.  Drunk and awesome!  I love Sinatra.  Granted, my personal favorite from that era would be Otis Redding.  Far more soulful.  Where was I?  Oh yes, music taste.

Ms. Connie apparently enjoys anything indie.  Now, while I do enjoy walking by her office and hearing some of them, others I've caught myself pausing going "What da..."  However, I don't judge for her taste.  I rather enjoy the fact that she is such a lover of music that almost anything piques her interest.  I'm a fan of anyone who can find something to express themselves.  You know, aside from screaming it from the rooftop or wearing one of those little cardboard ponchos.  Although, I think I'd be one of those weirdos writing random stuff on one side of the cardboard, and something equally stupid on the other side just to mess with people.  Hey, life has to come with perks somewhere.  My perks involve confusing people.

Anyway, Vinnie, one of the schedulers, seems to favor classic rock most days.  Some days though he likes to break out with some of those "what were you thinking" songs.  Kind of like my playing the gummi bear song.  That's definitely one of those "what were you thinking" songs, but it makes me giggle every time I hear it.  He does play good stuff though.  It keeps the day moving along nicely.  Well, it does in my opinion.

Then you have Kayla sitting over in her little corner listening to her country, or whatever else seems to pop up.  Some days I understand, and some days I don't.  That's okay though.  No one's music is ever loud enough to drown out work.  That is what makes it so special.  Plus, you know, not everyone has the same taste in music.

Our Mr. White gets around don't he?

It just amazes me though that some places function in total silence.  How do they do it?  I'm not saying that because we always have something going on.  I'm saying it because I really don't understand how you can be productive in total silence.  If I've learned anything, it's that people function better when both sides of their brains are functioning.  Both the left and right sides.  It's logical.  If one side is stimulated, then it naturally carries over productivity to the other side.  Also, you're not looking longingly at the clock going "Please let me out of here!"  It doesn't have to be something out there, and definitely not something so full of curse words you wonder if the artist knows anything else.  Just something relaxing to the person doing the work.

Take home for instance.  When I have stuff to do at home, I find the music channels on DirecTV awesome.  I can pop it up, and go about whatever I need to do.  House cleaning, dishes, laundry, whatever.  Hours can just fly by without me even noticing.  Why?  Because I'm not sitting there wishing whatever task I'm doing was over.  I'm happier with doing the task.  My artistic brain is occupied and happy.  Which in my case is a really really good thing!  Otherwise, it'll come up with some way to do bad things with cleaning supplies that would not end well, but would be fun! ;)
Hmmm... now there's an idea....

Remember our fallen heroes...

Can anyone guess what holiday is coming up?  Oh come on, this should be an easy one.  There's flags flying everywhere, yellow ribbons hugging trees, poppies out in droves.  No, it's not the 4th of July.  Thank goodness for that too, because otherwise I'd already be a year older and one sad little Pixie.

Remember your heroes
It's Memorial Day!  Now for the younger generation, this might not seem like anything to you.  It's not celebrated like it once was.  Yet, this is probably one of the most special holidays any country can have.  Yeah, okay, there's lots of sales going on.  You get a day off from work (sometimes).  You get to go out to the lake and bbq with the family.  It's wonderful for all those things, but beneath all of that, it's a day to honor those who gave their life so that you can have those sales and bbq's.

When I was younger, Grams would drag us off to church on Sunday for service, and then there'd be a picnic outside next to the cemetery.  After lunch we'd go out and plant little flags, or flowers, on the graves of fallen soldiers.  It's probably one of the first memories I have of this day.  Of course, at the time, I didn't understand what we were doing or why.  It was just fun, .......and I got ice cream.  The older I get though, the more I understand why the people were crying, why they did this, and sadly why it was necessary.

So this Memorial Day, no matter where you are, take a moment to say a prayer for all those fallen heroes.  As I have a ton of them in my family, it's going to be an all day affair for me.  However, it's something well worth it in the end for all they gave up for me.  Me and my shoe sales ;).  Sorry I was getting too serious for my own good there.  I had to break it up.

Oh, and of course, I love holidays that have their own flowers!  This one is no exception.  The Red Poppy is a gorgeous flower in it's own right and a fitting symbol of what it represents on this holiday.  (For those who might not know how the Red Poppy came to represent Memorial Day:  Red poppies represent sleep and death in some foreign countries. They became a symbol specifically of the war dead after World War I, when poppies grew over the devastated battlefields after the conflict and covered the graves of fallen soldiers.)

Red Poppy blossom
So, if you see a Vet selling red poppies, purchase one and wear it during your holiday outings-it'll mean a lot to our military families and maybe give you a chance to share the reason for this day of remembrance to our youngest generation.

Have a safe and wonderful holiday from all of us here at Brad's Electronics!

Honor our Fallen Heroes

Pesky Pixie

So, the Pixie decided to take a road trip.  See, I've never seen a HughesNet install done.  I wanted to see.  Told ya I was nosy.

The drive out was really super long.  I mean, if I were driving it wouldn't have seemed that long, but seeing the road just fly by and the billion and one trees just made it seem that much longer.  I was never very good at being a passenger.  I get too antsy.  Plus, I have issues with someone else driving, but ya know sometimes you just gotta let it go.  Now, I need to point out that while I live in the middle of nowhere, I'm fairly certain this was even further than the middle of nowhere.  Even nowhere is going "Yeah, we don't know where you are..."

So we arrive at the customer's house.  I must point out there were lots of puppies.  Big puppies, little puppies, and this one very angry little ankle biter.  Boy, was he such a tough little thing!  At least he thought he was anyway.  I could have put this little thing into my boot, and I have very small feet!  Other than giving me a headache, he was kinda cute.  I didn't want to break it's little heart by telling it my ankle biters were way more enthusiastic with barking and whole lot noisier than he, but he thought he was doing something special!  So, I let him.

On the plus side though, the customer had a really nice place.  HUGE yard.  I would so not want to be the one mowing that.  It just looks like it would be an all week job.  Plus one or two weekends as well.  Also, they were really nice.  Very talkative, which I can wholeheartedly appreciate, but still really nice.  I love talking to our customers.  Some have the greatest stories.  This one was no exception.

So, I pick a spot and have a seat to watch.  Unfortunately I picked a spot in the sunshine and am very much paying for that.  Pixie does not do well in the sunshine.  I turn a very nasty red color, complete with freckles, and throw my system into a Vitamin D overload.  Anyway, so I sat there and started watching.  Who knew they had to dig a hole so deep?!  If I were smaller I'd have gotten lost in that thing.  Then again, the pole is really really tall.  I suppose it makes sense to bury it pretty deep.  It definitely wasn't moving once it was in the ground that's for certain.  Not only that, but he used this hammery thing (pole driver or something), and put it even deeper into the ground.  Really sad part?  The pole was still taller than me once it was in the ground.  It couldn't have been more than 5 and a half feet once done either.  It just does not pay to be mini sometimes.


Look ma!!! I can go to China through that thing!

Down the rabbit hole.... with shiney pole! I rhymed.

Either way, so once that fun stuff was over and my whining had ceased for the moment thanks to the breeze, it was time to pull out the zip ties!  There were a lot of them too.  You know, the amount of zip ties could have stretched for miles!  I wanted to play with them, but in the end I'm kind of glad they didn't put em near me.  With my luck I would have ended up crying out for help from underneath a tangled up mess of zip ties.  I probably would have gotten it... after a whole lot of laughing and some very embarrassing Facebook pictures.  There is no limit to what us ADD pixies can get into, is there?

Shake the pole, make the bubble move! I actually had fun with that one.
Time to break out the drill!  I love that part except I'm like permanently banned from power tools.  I get too excited around them.  I don't understand what the big deal is really.  I mean I only drilled everything in sight that one time.  Honestly.  That thing with the chainsaw wasn't my fault either.  I swear.  I know, it's amazing I still have all of my limbs!  Anyway, while all of that was going on, I decided to wander off and sat down with the customer just happily chatting away.  I told you they were talkative.

A few hours into it, it was all over.  I thought there would be more oomph to it, but nope.  Pretty boring stuff.  Pole, dish, wires, drill, hook up, point dish, get on interwebs, and all done.  I'm still not sure how that pointing the dish thing works.  Seriously.  It just flew right over my head.  Our techs really have a complicated job when it comes to things like that.  I'm actually very impressed by what they do.  Also very grateful I do not have their job.  It was hot!  I don't do well with heat!  Plus I ended up looking like a lobster face.  So not pretty.

After it was all said and done, the Pixie so needed a nap.  Sadly, the nap continues on and off.  Sun sick.  Not the business.  I feel rather miserable.  I could not do that every day.  How they do amazes me.  I'm just so spoiled.  Now, I do feel the need to point out... the Pixie did not help with any of this.  Okay, I eyed the drill with longing, but other than that!  No way was I going to break a nail.  Nu uh.  My nails are precious!  That just looked like a nail breaking job.  I'll pass.

At any rate, my thanks to the tech for allowing me to tag along to watch, and putting up with all of my annoying questions.

Chillin' with Ms. Connie

Welcome to your Friday.  We have a caffeinated Pixie at your service.  Results may vary, randomness is assured, and we're fairly certain ADD meds will be required.  With that in mind, we may proceed.

So this morning I was sitting here with my massive glass of Pepsi (yes I had to kick back from the coffee.  It was making me all jittery) and wondering, "What can I do today to annoy people!"  Sticky note football wasn't very fun after like 10 minutes, so I'm still working on something to keep me occupied for the rest of the day.  I suppose I could call techs and harass them.  That's always fun.  Except there's one running around that's almost as caffeinated as I am.  Probably a good idea to leave that one alone today.  Just for today though.

Where was I?  Oh yes, it's Friday!  For those that aren't aware, SUNDAY IS MOTHER'S DAY!  Yes, yes it is.  See, usually it's the Sunday after my mom's birthday, but this year they decided to mix it up and put it the Sunday before her birthday.  So, I'm kind of scrambling around on what to get her.  Any ideas would be very much appreciated!  I don't think a case of Red Bull would appeal to her.  Me yes, her, not so much.
Now, in honor of Mother's Day, I decided to get with what seems to Brad's Electronics very own Momma Bear, Ms. Connie.  Ms. Connie is that awesome voice you hear whenever you call Brad's Electronics and a recording comes on to please hold... That's Ms. Connie.  Doesn't she sound so sweet?  She is too.  I adore Ms. Connie.

Lookin all cute in her Christmas gear
Ms. Connie

How long have you been with Brad’s Electronics?
I’ve worked here almost 5 years.

Other than being the resident Momma, what do you do here?
My main purpose is to make sure that we are paid for each and every job we do.  All information has to be submitted correctly, and if it is not, we will not be paid.  It is my responsibility to know what we haven’t received payment for and to do whatever I have to do so we will get our money.   ((This makes her our favorite person aside from Brad... but we really only like him for his signature.  :P  Just kidding!))


You and Brad seem really close, how long have you known each other? 
                See answer to question no. 1.

What inspires you to do all that you do for us?
      The Golden Rule  (( I love the shiney rule!!  But we're probably thinking about 2 different rules on that one...))

If you could, would there be anything you’d add to Brad’s services?
 I’ll leave the additions to Brad!  My interest is in helping to make Brad’s Electronics the best satellite sales and installation company in the entire country – not just for our customers, but the employees as well.


Can I have a mocha expresso? ;)
Sure, and would you like to  have a bowl of Chocolate Cobbler, warm from the oven, with a scoop of ice cream to go with it?  I can go in the kitchen and whip one up before you know it!    ((Why yes... yes I would!  Can we skip the bread though?  I'm allergic :P ))


See!  Love her!  Don't forget to tell all your momma's (biological or not) how much you love 'em Sunday.  Well, hopefully you do it every day but especially on Mother's Day.  If you've got any shiney baubles left over though... the Pixie loves shiney baubles.  Just sayin'.

Also, I have to go buy flowers...

Tiny Tot to the Rescue...


Kayla
Ms. Kayla
So, while we were sitting around at our little tea party in the office, which you missed again, I had a chance to ask Kayla some questions.  Well, technically I asked her a whole bunch of questions, but we'll leave the non-work related ones alone.  You'll just have to wonder about those.  Although I must say, I did not know those nasty little avocados could really do that.  Anyway, so yes, sitting around doing all kinds of girlie chatter.  I know.  You're so jealous.  That's okay.  One day you might be able to come over and get your toesies painted too!  The bright colors are mine though.  Sorry.

Moving on!


Married?  Kids?
         1 precious 3 year old son   ((And he is precious too!  I saw a picture.))                
    
How long have you been working at Brad’s Electronics?
                April 12th was one year 

What made you decide to get into advertising?
It was something new and I love learning new things.   
     
How do you decide which ads to run?
The ad has to catch the readers eye. I look for ads that I think would catch my eye if I was looking for the services that we provide.  ((Me personally, I like the shiny sparkly ones, but that's probably just because I have the attention span of a goldfish...))

In your own opinion, which type of advertising works better?  Pay per click or Pay per impression?
Pay per impression            ((Now, I feel the need to explain this one.  See I didn't really know the difference either, until about a week or so ago.  Apparently Pay per Click they have to actually click on it in order for you to have an "audience" standing, but the Impressions are the ones that you see and can give you a better "audience" reading.  There, a little lesson for you today.  You're welcome.))  

What’s it like to be such a tiny tot?
   :P Well it has its benefits…ha I always get picked on about how tiny I am! I just take it as a compliment and say I’m not little just fun sized!        

How do you handle all the crazy people you work with?
I bite my tongue and be as nice as I can to everyone. I enjoy and love each and every person I work with no matter what!



Now see that last one I can really believe, because man, some days you just want to find the duct tape and go to work!  ;)  Although I'm very glad they don't.  Duct tape hurts when I rip it off my face.
~Pixie



Ok, so these barriers are like 5 ft5 in.at least, maybe a little more. Neither she nor I are tall enough for even our head to be seen!  Oh and Vinnie is hiding over in the corner... 

Sittin' with Stoney...

So, we finally managed to get Mr. Stoney for just a few moments before he vanished like a ninja again.  I know.  That was a tough one, but ya know, the man has a lot of work to deal with in a day so the few precious moments we got with him were rare indeed.

1.  Are you married?  How many kids?
Yes, and one.

2.  How long have you worked with Brad's Electronics?
      I have worked here for a year and a half.

3.  What inspires you to work as hard as you do?
      That's just the way I do things.  No matter what I'm doing I don't waste my time by starting a project and not finishing it, or only doing something halfway.  I'm never satisfied until I get it right. 

4.  What do you do to help de-stress from your day?
     I don't have to do anything... if I make the mistake of coming home all stressed out, my wife de-stresses me before I even have a chance to realize that I need it!

5.  You always seem so under control, how do you manage it?!
     Surely you realize that looks can be deceiving!

6.  If there was one thing you could improve at Brad's Electronics, what would that be?
     It's my job as Operations Manager to improve everything at Brad's Electronics.

7.  What exactly are your job duties as Operations Manager?
     This little poem that has been around since my grandparent's day pretty much sums it up:

"My Job"
It's not my job to drive the train,
The whistle I can't blow,
It's not my job to say how far
The train's allowed to go.
It's not my job to blow the horn,
Nor even clang the bell.
But let the darn thing jump the track
And see who catches he**!!


 He does have a point!  Yeah, I cracked up laughing when I read that one.  It's all true, but it was funny!   See I told you it was hard to grab him, but I'm happy we managed to get him for just that amount of time.

Thanks for all the hard work you do, Stoney!  We really appreciate it all.

Oh and tomorrow, I have a treat for you!  Yes, I know it's Saturday, but I still have a treat for you!
No, it's not coffee, but I could really use some...

~Pixie

Our Fearless Leader... Brad White

Ladies and gents, grab a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and get comfy.  Okay, fine, grab a soda, glass of tea, and an uncomfy chair!  Either way, Mr. White has gotten his questions answered, I have chocolate, and all is right in the world today.  So, without further interruption of your not-so-regularly scheduled programming, I give you... Mr. Brad White.  Yes, I also golf clapped, but you couldn't see it.  :P

Hard at work
His desk looks so much neater than mine...
Married, Kids?
Yes, I have been married for almost three years and have 2 step-sons, the most beautiful granddaughter in the whole world, and a little dog named Vegas…...however, I haven’t figured out yet whether he is my step-dog or my step-granddog.
What made you want to start your own business?
While I was in high school, I worked at Radio Shack and learned a lot about how a business is operated.  About the time I graduated, I lost my job because the owner retired, so I decided to start my own company instead of going to work for someone else.   My first business was installing car audio systems, window tinting, and alarm systems.  I had gotten interested in electronics while working at Radio Shack, so I taught myself to work on CB radios for the local deer hunters (this was before cell phones).   The next thing I learned was repairing TV’s and that led to installing satellite systems.
Why Satellite instead of Cable?
Cable systems limit your business to the length of cable you have installed.   My satellite business gives me the flexibility to expand into as large an area as I want to cover.  It also enables me to provide better television and movie programming to customers without competing with cable providers.
If approached by a customer on the street who compliments one of your employees, what would be your first reaction?
My first reaction would be a really happy feeling, followed quickly by a sincere Thank You to that person.  I hire and train my employees to always do the best job they can, because satisfied customers are what have kept us in business all these years.
What made you decide to be a fireman and how long have you been doing it?  (Yes, amazingly enough, Brad also does that!  I know!  I was impressed too when I found out.)

I have been working as a fireman for 18 years because I like to be able to help people.  The demands of the job are so tough that in order to do it, you need to have the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping others through very difficult times.  I left the fire department in 2004 to grow my DIRECTV business, and in 2007 I got the chance to go back full-time.  Since that time, my schedule has been 24 hours on-duty and 48 hours off-duty.
How do you find time to do it all?
I have to prioritize my jobs.  I love working at the Fire Department and consider it my “real” job.  My Brad’s Electronics business is more like a hobby and because it is so different from my work at the Fire Department, it sort of gives me a break.
How can you consider operating a business that provides paychecks for approximately 60 people a hobby?
It feels like a hobby because finding solutions to all the issues that come along with running a business is fun for me.
Obviously, your life is very hectic, how do you always seem to be so calm in the midst of it all?
Well, one thing I DON’T do is go home and beat my dog! :P Everything about my business is a challenge to me- and I love challenges!  I don’t allow problems at Brad’s Electronics.  Nobody likes problems because problems upset people.   Since I only deal with challenges, I really don’t get upset very often.
What are you planning to add in the future to Brad’s Electronics already impressive list of services? (This is what I was talking about with the TVs and the comfy couches!  By the way, he answered with the popcorn well before he saw my other post.  It just kind of fit.  I'm so proud! *wipes a tear*)

I am working out the details for a Home Theater Installation Project.  Many of our customers who install satellite systems want to be able to enjoy watching their favorite programs and movies at home, but with the movie theater atmosphere.  We can make it happen for them.   We can provide the big screen, the sound system, the theater seating, and just to make it even more realistic, we’ll throw in some popcorn!
How large is your area of operation now, and are you planning to expand?
We have been doing sales and installations in Mississippi, Arkansas, and Florida; however the sales department is just about ready to launch our national sales program in all the remaining states.

That concludes our little questionnaire, or my being nosy!  However you want to see it.  Just wait until we get to our operations manager, Stoney.  Oh yeah.  I'm gonna be nosy with him too!

Tomorrow though, we have a very special treat for you.  You'll just have to come back and see what it is...

~Pixie

P.S.  I promised a picture of that vase with the employee beating sticks.  I found out what it was really for, but it's a lot less entertaining than my imagination.  So, I'm not going to tell you why it's really there. ;)

Yet, oh so pretty!!

Stumbling across the threshold...

Yes, I did have to Google that word.  It's a hard one!  So, while we're waiting on Mr. White, who will probably be tackled, repeatedly in the hallway until I get my answers, I thought I'd share a little about my day at work.  I know, entertaining, right? Also, I was just kidding about the tackling part, but just picturing a little 5'2" chick tackling someone a good foot taller screaming, "Why won't you answer me!!!"  just makes me giggle. And now you have that mental picture.  You're welcome!  So, where was I?  Oh yes.

Zombie Pixie has arrived.

I walk in, say good morning, and go to find the most important piece of equipment at work.  The coffee cup.  Second most important piece, the coffee pot.  Don't you just want to hug that thing when you get to work?  I do.  However, it's hot and will hurt, so I refrain from hugging.  I do not refrain from sampling the deliciousness of the caffeinated goodness that it holds though.  Coffee in hand, it's back to the desk.  Let the work begin!
Begin it did, too.  You know what I love most about my job?  One, I stay really busy so I never get bored.  Which for me, is a very, very good thing.  Trust me.  Two, no matter how many times I do the same thing, there is always something different about it.  It's like reading your favorite book and finding something new every time.  I love it.  Last but not least, are the people I work with.

In the short amount of time I've been at Brad's Electronics, I feel like I'm working with one big group of friends.  It always makes the day go by so much faster when you can laugh with the people you work with, or in my case, do something incredibly asinine and get laughed at.  Which never bothers me at all.  I'm a dork, and perfectly okay with that!  When you can have fun at work and still get the job done, it's the most incredible experience in the world.  I'm blessed in that.  They make me feel right at home every time I walk through the door.  The groans of "Oh no, it's you..." make me turn around and go, "Mom?"  ;)

That and the soft looking bouncy couches in the TV display room really make me feel at home.  Except I don't have a TV that is as tall as me like that one is.  You should really see that thing!  I want one.  Imagine HBO on that thing!  Oh, or the 3D TV.  That one is pretty amazing as well!  A little too realistic for me though, because the first thing I want to do is reach out and grab at the TV when something pops up and my brain goes, "Gimme!"  Yes, I have actually waved my hand around trying to grab it.  Again, I repeat, I am a dork.

Just imagine it.  3D TV, DirecTV On Demand, a bucket of popcorn, and you've got one entertaining night!  In my case, it'd be a night of trying to keep my seat so I don't jump at the screen, but hey!  I really want that TV.  I wonder if the glasses are Pixie proof...
~Pixie

The First Step...

So, I was thinking and I tend to do this quite a bit, how much do you really know about Brad's Electronics?  Oh sure, if you're wanting HughesNet, DirectTV, or Dish Network, you can call us and we'll be there to answer any questions for you.  Yet, who's there, really?  Well...that is something I'm going to do my best to help you learn,  mostly to satisfy my own curiosity as a new employee, but also because we should be more than a name to you. At least that's how I feel about it.  Perhaps I'm not the only one?

If you're like me you see commercials on TV, read a name in the phone book (those that still use them), or for the more up-to-date persons, find them on the internet and wonder, what do they do?  Obviously you know what they sell, but what do they do?!  Are they just voices on the phone?  Of course not.  Wanna see who's behind that patriotic banner?  Me, too.  I'd say they've been around long enough to pique the curiosity of the public.

Like an onion, the company has many layers.   There's your sales, your installations, your scheduling, your service calls, and your questions answered as quickly as possible.  However, there's another layer to the onion you haven't quite gotten to see.  The sweet, juicy heart of it.  The people behind the name.  The face to match those helpful voices.  I'm still as new to the company as most of the public is.  See, I haven't been there long enough to really get to that juicy center of it, and I'm just plain nosy enough to want to.

Wanna be nosy with me?  Shhh, I promise I won't tell if you do.  It'll be just our little secret.  Curious yet?  Intrigued?  Perhaps just a little?  Fantastic!  I say we start at the top.  Go big or go home, right?  Right!  I'm all for making entrances, so why not poke the boss and see if we can find some juicy bits.  Any questions you want to ask?  Rated G one's, of course. ;)  I mean I'm not too shy to ask anything, but sometimes you gotta show restraint when asking the man who signs your paycheck, ya know?

We all know the basics about the company, but the why behind it is an interesting question.  Why this and not that, why one thing and not another, why do you have that big vase with sticks in it in your office?  Is it to keep the employees in line?  Sorry, that's just one of my questions.  I'll have to show you what I'm talking about.  The vase is scary, but really pretty though!

Moving on!  Next up on the Pixie Path, the juicy bits of Mr. Brad White.  Tune in...

What Satellite Internet is All-About?

Satellite internet is becoming a known name in the rural and remote areas because you don’t have to rely upon the dial up service anymore. DSL and cable services have disadvantages over satellite internet because it provides faster emailing, downloading and uploading speed.
 Areas that were earlier poorly connected with wired broadband services are now getting the advantage of high speed satellite internet broadband. The connectivity offered by internet is 50 times faster than what dial-up connections offer. Moreover, the packages offered by satellite internet service providers are lucrative in terms of price and service.

 The functioning of Satellite Internet

 A two-way satellite dish is installed at the desired location to establish satellite internet connection. This dish is different from the satellite television dish that receives signals but do not send them back. Whereas, satellite internet dish sends and receives signals, to and from the satellite orbiting the Earth. The dish uses microwave transmit and receive technology and it can be mounted on the ground or on roof top to get uninterrupted signals. The satellite internet service providers usually install the equipment free of cost, as it is a part of the service plan.

 The dish is cabled with a special satellite modem, which in-turn is connected to the computer or laptop. The modem connects your system to the satellite in the same way like a cable or DSL modem does. Once the modem is connected, you get access to surf internet, upload and download files in a speedy way. Satellite internet is better than dial up connection where signal drop chances are higher and the net can get disconnected anytime.

 With the boom in satellite internet industry, the companies providing satellite internet services have started paying a lot of attention on the infrastructure part of the set-up. They aim at delivering un-interrupted and high speed internet. Gateways have been established to connect and distribute internet access to users spread across the world. It is these gateways that enable even distribution of traffic from a PC and a faster signal transmission to the system.

Satellite internet has opened new doors of connectivity for those living in rural or remote areas. Now, you don’t have to rely on the slow dial-up networks to start surfing. Whether it is online shopping, downloading movies, opening heavy website pages or sending/receiving emails, the wireless internet service has speed-up the process.
HughesNet Business Solutions provides satellite internet service, high speed satellite internet, and cheap satellite internet, wireless internet service for small and medium businesses, affordable and flexible, available anywhere.
