Lessons from Crashing an Engagement Party

Are You Selling What Your Customers Are Buying?
Competition for new and repeat customers is relentless for any business, but particularly on the high street. It has never been more important to understand what your customers want to buy, as opposed to what you want to sell.

Working Hell to Five
There were a couple of perks when it came to working for the Corporate Headquarters of Hell, in Dio’s opinion. First being, it was always extremely warm inside of the office building. No matter what the weather may be like outside, inside of the office was always heated to a cozy 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This was extremely to Dio’s liking, as his favorite feature about himself was undoubtedly his legs, and 80 degrees was the perfect temperature for wearing shorts. Secondly, (some other demons might have this listed as a negative), was that Dolly Parton’s hit song “9-5” constantly played on repeat in the background over the corporate intercom. Personally, Dio found it extremely invigorating to listen about “climbing the corporate ladder” and “fighting the man” while slowly plunking away at his emails. It was during Dolly’s refrain of “I swear sometimes that man is out to get me” one morning that Dio received an email from his upper manager, Belphagor, marked URGENT: JOB PENDING. Seeing as the last time he had checked, Dio did have a job and it was with the Plague Division (under the Chaos Branch of Hell), he found the title of the email to be extremely unnerving.

to dream or not to dream
“College is the key that will open all the doors to success and fulfillment of your dreams.” “Only through a good college education will you be able to land your dream job.” These are the statements that guided me throughout my years of high school. What I should have been told is that the hard part is getting into the right college and declaring the right major, the harder part is getting through college and paying for it, but the hardest part is actually landing your dream job after college, especially when you have no idea what your dream job is or if it even exists. I followed all the steps that I was supposed to. I graduated high school with honors, received multiple scholarships, went to a good university, and graduated only one semester late. I thought to myself “the next step is finding the dream job...or at least a job that I’ll enjoy.” Little did I know that only two months after graduating, a worldwide pandemic would wreak havoc on the world as we knew it. People would begin to lose their jobs, their homes, their lives. We would be quarantined inside our respective spaces for months, anxiety-ridden, fearing what the future would hold. Covid was an unknown, unexpected curveball thrown into the mix and unfortunately, we could not ignore the chaos it entailed and the struggles that would follow even a year later.
