October 19, 2022 – Running for Office, Write Me In
A number things have occurred just in the the month of October. Here’s a quick wrap up and a few updates on the goings on in the world of Social Media. A regular ‘newsletter’ will follow this post.
I have decided to seek the State Senate Seat in LD 22. I do this as our Primary winner decided to take a job with a company the day AFTER he won the Primary. I am not happy about this as well as the procedure undertaken to chose the ‘democrat’ candidate. There are several. NOW, the race has become a “write-in” campaign per Election Laws of Arizona. Hence my complete annoyance with the Primary Winner. All that needed to happen was the General Election on November 8th, he and me and a few friends vote for him and he wins. He was UNOPPOSED. He then can resign and the process takes a different path. I was also unhappy that the announced list at one point had a very qualified candidate ready, one of my City Councilman who is at the end of his term, and is termed out. A perfect replacement for the LD 22 West Valley District. But no, shenanigans had to ensue. Not a happy camper am I, and so I feel thrusted into this. it an opportunity and I must grab the mike.
The website is up, https://writeinpaulvalachinld22.com/. I am only ask for you to write me in if you live in LD 22 for the State Senate seat AND fill in the circle. The other name there CANNOT win he has withdrawn from the race. By the way he took a Lobbyist Position that apparently he had been seeking for the past six months. You have to make sure you spell my name correctly PAUL VALACH and fill in the circle on the same line.

Editor’s Thoughts | Resignation in Color | Myers-Brigs Baack in Style | Quote of Day | One Sentence, Saves Hours | Website of the Week (Fall Foliage) | Events | Good of Order
Editor’s Thoughts
| This week will consist of around three maybe four in person meetings. We will see what the totals are at each. The last ones had less than 10 in them. Still rather a cautious crowd. pmv |
Resignations Can be Colorful
| Seems like you hear of folks quitting every day. And many mau not have a plan of future action, they just know they have had enough, There are some interesting moves that some have made in their departure. The old adage, ‘do not burn bridges’ is lost on some of these folks. And perhaps its not a bad thing if there is indeed a plan, but don’t count on those old boses to be the new customer for whatever venture is undertaken. |
TODAY’s DAY OF…
| Seems there are like 7 Days of things on this day, I pick High Five and Hug Day as the pick of the litter. |
Myers-Briggs Testing is Back
| The Myers-Briggs testing is making a comeback. It looks like some places do want to check out your personality before they hire you. Is that a good thing? Who knows, but the test itself has been around a while and is often looked to check folks out. Except that often it was after a hire, not before. |
One Sentence, Hours Saved in Email
| You read here, well ok on Inc, but apparently adding this one sentence to every email will turn into a huge time saving move. Let me know if it works. |
Website of the Week
| Fall foliage is a favorite event to view. As the leaves turn color we are often amazed at the bright colors that sometimes happen. The big disappointment is when we miss it. Sometimes these time periods happen within mere weeks as the climate turns quick. Once the leaves fall that is it. The map on on this interactive website is pretty cool and shows the map of the US and turns the regions the various colors projected dates in 2022. |

Good of the Order
| I know, such problems we should all have. BUT, it seems tha the new King of England has a few too many palaces. I’d be happy to take one of his hands and have a few friends who I am sure would also help out or friends across the big pond to the east. Hey, maybe some are in Canada or Australia where living is pretty cool also. |

| Editor’s Thoughts |
| Taking inventory of your social presence, heck online presence should be a regular event. And it should not just be done once a year, or even twice. Also updates such as headers, photos and even product or service descriptions should occur at least every other month. Your competition is doing that, you should also. pmv |
| Eight New Socials to Look At |
Buffer, the scheduling app that helps you organize and then schedule your posts across many platforms introduces us to eight new social places to look at. Each of these has a fairly specific purpose or audience. It is well worth taking a look to see if any are a fit. Article is here. |

Website of the Day
You have to like a place that offers bees sanctuary and does it in a very peaceful way. Take a look here.
The Japanese Shrine Creates a Custom Water Sanctuary for Bees To Stay Hydrated. We don’t often think of bees drinking water, or needing to as they buzz around our plants. This place serves that purpose.
Actually the entire website has many great pages and inspirations. And is my website of the day.

| Going to try this as the new newsletter of the day/week. I post on here most days and it gets annoying to get out a bunch, and also it will be nice for you to have it all in one spot. AND no need to hunt down an email from weeks ago. The goal is two-three items a day. A good productive hint. A website that is cool for the Website of the Day. And perhaps a list or steps to create coolness. And if it needs a bit more a link to the section where the details exist. pmv |
