The Flatmobile

You may be imagining a flat, cardboard-like car that can only be driven by a similar type person, but instead, re-imagine the car to look a lot like the iconic Batmobile, but about half the size.

Don’t worry, you don’t have to be Batman to drive it, but, depending on your height, you may need some type of super power to fit into it. However, it is really cool to look at; thus, I guess all that is left to say is… Nanananana Flatmobile!

Behold the Glow-in-the-dark Yoda tattoo

There are plenty of Star Wars fans that span the globe who would do almost anything to show their devotion to these films. Some purchase Star Wars collectibles or dress-up as characters from the movies, while others get glow-in-the-dark tattoos!?

Well, if you are going to have permanent ink needled into your skin, you shouldn’t only be able to see it in the light; and if you are going to get a tattoo of Yoda with a lightsaber than it better glow-in-the-dark, am I right!

Behold the glow-in-the-dark Yoda tattoo!

It’s Catman to the Rescue

There have been many photos of dogs and cats that look like celebrities posted on the internet, as well as plenty of internet memes, but not too often do you see one of a cat that could be mistaken as a superhero.

This awesome cat looks just like Batman and makes me wonder if this could be Catman?? Hopefully he doesn’t have a sidekick named Robin, because that is a type of bird and that’s cruel. Muahaha. Just JOKER-ing!

This Dog Looks the Way I Feel On Thanksgiving Day

Every year our friends and family gather from far and wide to sit around a table for Thanksgiving. We play a fun game of touch football, have a few laughs, give thanks, and eat until our belly hurts. I really love the nip in the air, frost on the ground, smell of turkey in the oven, and the feeling of togetherness that happens on this day. It is hard to put it all into words of how much I enjoy Thanksgiving, but this dog’s face kind of says it all.

Smile and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Say Hello To The Grumpy Fish

I can just imagine what this grumpy Clown fish would say, “There’s a Grumpy Cat meme?… Who Cares”. This fish doesn’t look like he likes anything and could care less about most things that would make the average person or fish happy. After all, He is a fish that is called a Clown, that would make me grumpy too.

10 Hilarious Christmas Decorations

Christmas is the time of year where everybody can get together and have a good time without taking themselves too seriously.  In honour of this festive tradition, below is a compilation of 10 hilarious Christmas decorations.  So grab yourself a glass of eggnog and a mince pie, and prepare to Ho Ho Ho.

This reasons that these decorations are hilarious are twofold; one, it sarcastically captures just how lazy we can all be at Christmas, and two, because spelling the word ‘ditto’ in lights is no mean feat in itself.

I have often wondered why nobody ever takes the time and effort to adorn their toilet with Christmas decorations; now I know why!

For some reason, the owners of this Christmas tree ladder feel that a window cleaner’s best friend is a more appropriate symbol of Christmas spirit than a Christmas tree.  They obviously know something we don’t.

I don’t know which is worse, the fact that whoever put this dazzling display on their house either intended it to look this way, or that they didn’t just quit while they were ahead.

I haven’t got the faintest idea what a skunk has to do with Christmas, but for some reason someone has decided that it would make a must-have Christmas tree decoration.

This slice of genius treads the fine line between hilarious and distasteful, in my opinion, it’s the former.

In another awesome display of laziness, someone has put this phrase the wrong way round and decided they can’t be bothered to rectify it; or even more worryingly, nobody has noticed yet.

Nothing says ‘Merry Christmas’ more than an illuminated rendition of Santa engaging in an act of public urination.  However, Santa’s penchant for milk and mince pies may have rendered him with a weak bladder, not exactly ideal when you’re flying around the globe delivering millions of presents.

These unnerving candles have managed to capture the angelic sweetness of a choirboy, and completely ruin it by making it look like he’s being publicly burnt for witchcraft.  The sight of one of these with a half-melted face is bound to give anyone nightmares.

This one is guaranteed to terrify little children, and what exactly a dead reindeer has to do with getting in the festive season is anybody’s guess.  Hopefully Santa can still manage to deliver all his presents this year, seeing as Blitzen is destined to end up as reindeer burgers.

If these unorthodox decorations have made you contemplate what you are planning to do with your Christmas decorations this year, in my opinion, it is probably best to start with a good quality real or artificial Christmas Tree as a starting point.  From there, you can let your creativity run wild.

Someone Calls 911 For Homework Help: Are Operators Prepared?

This one was. Four year old Johnny was a smaller example of what those who receive calls everyday have to go through to make the person on the other end happy to have called in the first place.

Now a second question: How prepared are the same operators if the customer wasn’t sweet little Johnny but someone more frustrated, belligerent, and grown up?

Call center agent coaching such as Envision have been providing tailor-made solutions to companies like Nike Golf, Bank of Oklahoma, Lufthansa, and Northwest Airlines. All the previously mentioned are in different industries, so no customer service technique is the same for each company. Large corporations will have a large amount of agents that need to be prepared all while providing unwavering quality that the customer can expect.

For Envision to manage multiple call center agencies that are in need of some improvement, a quick assessment of the client is sent to Envision, stating how many agents are in the customer service sector of the company and any additional information that might benefit everyone. Once that information is gathered, Envision will send a Performance Assurance Review and a specific course of action for the client.

While all the clients may have custom progression, Envision puts the agents through specific training models and software that they’ve built to assure success:

Desktop Delivery:  Envision’s Click 2 Coach software provides immediate training for customer service representatives should the program come across any recurring difficulties that the client’s company may have, such as large cancellation rates or customers living in a common region  frustrated over the same issue. Envision offers a Workforce Management program to monitor and adjust scheduling for the tasks of a client’s call center activities so that tasks can be handled better throughout the day.

Testing: Once training is close to complete, Envision puts the newly trained agents under rigorous testing to ensure that everyone is ready to serve their customers immediately.

Identity Protection: Once agents are ready to face the workload ahead of them, their main focus is not only transition into providing better service to all that call, but to protect their identity as well. Envision’s Identity Protection Management software eliminates compromising and sensitive data from recordings, giving the customer ease that their information won’t be used for company identity theft.

Like any company that demands improvement, Envision has received praise from their previous clients(such as Vermont Teddy Bear) about how quickly they were able to increase the quality of their call center while maintaining their signature style. Envision’s goal is to ensure efficiency within the call center so that it’s easier for the customer representative and the customer to communicate to each other. The better the communication, the faster the calls are made and the better the chances of increasing revenue and evolving the brand. A winning situation on all fronts.
