The last person wanting storage told me she and her husband were moving to Disneyland and applying for jobs.  A native Canadian and Californian from Redondo Beach in their sixties down on their luck due to the economic downturn.  This retired real estate agent had a great sense of humor that is in fact, her self proclaimed saving grace.  Real estate and storage prices are less expensive near Anaheim according to her research, so they are sleeping over with friends, indefinitely and consolidating their worldly goods from their condo and two storage units, and starting all over again.  Cheers and good health to those making lemonade out of lemons.

Today my daughter called me hysterically crying, as her your dog was sick and she was mortified that he may have pavo virus, as the dogs demonstrative symptoms were all too familiar. Five years ago this happened to a Staffordshire terrier she owned and after spending 2500 dollars on veterinary bills, she was devastated when he died.  So, after going to the storage unit this morning and digging out a few books on nursing your dog through symptoms of pavo, and mixing remedies to keep your dog from getting dehydrated, and a hundred and one special dietary recipes for your dog to keep him healthy, which at a glance seemed to mainly include variations of poultry, rice and oatmeal, and a trip to the grocery store this morning, her pooch is managing to ingest some liquids and food for now.  Day one, so far, so good.

Fielding agitated customer complaints third party over the phone can be a very rewarding or a very trying conversation. For most people, when they are confronted with a perceived injustice or lack of expected service by a company, a referral to the manager and explanation of the reality of what you can do for them is sufficient. Most customers are appreciative to know someone is available to handle their situation, even when the storage facility is closed.  But there are those customers whom react quite inappropriately when agitated. They are so upset by other things in their lives that when they are confronted with a perceived injustice or lack of expected service, they become irrationally demanding, loud and litigious. Instead of hearing we can facilitate getting your situation resolved by following these steps, they hear, you mean you can not fix this for me right now.

The internet makes it is so easy to find the right facility for your personal use.   No matter where you live, you can always find a facility nearby.  A climate controlled self storage unit is the perfect solution to allow you keep all the things you want without having them in the way. So as the seasons change, you can store your seasonal clothes and decorations, keep early christmas gifts hidden away and always know everything you put in, is going to come out in the same condition. 

So many people are utilizing storage facilities these days. It is about the only space a lot of people can afford.  Some unfortunate situations have people half jokingly asking if they can move into the storage unit with their belongings. The days of super sizing are over for the most part, unless you are over indulging in cheap fast food and distilled in formaldehyde wine. We are now cresting the wave on the down sizing trend. Not only are the automobiles getting smaller, packaging at the grocery stores is getting smaller, and the space in which people can afford to live is also getting smaller. Give us a generation or two, and caskets will be getting smaller also to accommodate the down sizing of the American people as a whole.
