NightWalkers?

August 18, 2011 | Filed Under strange/paranormal | No Comments

Are there those that walk the streets at night living in the shadows of our society? Remaining unseen to the world?

I’ve always been apart of the “night life” meaning i work late nights/ early mornings. Most of us do who are Building Service Contractors…Its not uncommon to see things of interest or suspicion that you may not see during the day! But what if there is something more tragic or incomprehensible than we are aware of?

Several nights ago I encountered a man that made me think,  maybe there are those that stay hidden, not wanting to be seen.

As I was finishing up on the details of a particular job one August night and was walking to my car i had an eerie chill run down my spine as if something or someone was watching me. I quickly looked up and noticed a figure sitting on a bench in the late shadow of the evening. My eyes quickly went to make out the face of the figure but to my amazement i was not able to make out any distinguishable features. At first i thought possibly the shadows had caused this effect on my eyes or possibly the way the moon light was cast. Anyways, i hurried into my car and purposefully turned my head lights in the direction of the faceless figure. To my shock the figure had no face! the best way to describe this is by comparing it to a severe burn victim. It was as though all distinguishing features were gone and the face was indescribable.

I quickly drove away shaking from the experience. Now, days later in the comforts of my favorite coffee shop i wish i had talked with the figure, listening to his story…

This experience made me think maybe there are those that stay hidden on purpose to avoid the stares, comments, and societal pressures.

If you have experienced something like this i would love to hear your story

Always back up your hard drive!

Hi Everybody,About two weeks ago I pored myself a cup of Seattle’s best and proceeded to my desk top to work on the business plan for all the sites.   To my surprise after turning on the CPU, I found out that my hard drive had suffered a total burn out.  Cleanworks accounting, research ,spreed sheets and contracts where lost forever.   The only thing that kept me from having a little burn out of my own, was I happened to backup my Quickbooks a week prior.  So, from this I have one thing to say; Back up your hard drive often!  TJ Kowalski

Instructions on getting leads for telemarketing

June 8, 2007 | Filed Under Information | No Comments

here is how you can find lists of potential customer leads and its free. Here is what you do… Click on the link under blog roll that is titled reference USA. The page will prompt you to enter a library card number—IF you do not have a public library card you will need to get one (it is well worth the money). Here is a temporary number that you can use . Enter your number and connect. The next page will ask you to continue. Hit continue! Following that it will take you to a page on the left side of the page there will be a box that says business databases. < click the business databases> The following page you will want to select the custom search tab. In the custom search area select these three categories (1) employees (2) Major industry (3) zip code then hit <create search form> In the search criteria fields select the industries you want to search, enter the zip code that you are looking at and finally select the number of employees (note dont select under 10 employees) Then hit search now! Once your list comes up you can only select 10 at a time and you will want to hit print then cancel print and cut them and paste them into a word document. I strongly recommend that once you have your area code pasted into your word doc that you save it so when it comes time to cycle thru that area code again you will not have to go thru the same process all over again…

Hope that helps!
