THINGS YOU WISH YOU KNEW AS A TEEN IN YOUR 20’S

 

GROWING UP EACH GENERATION WAS RAISED DIFFERENTLY. FROM THEIR MORALS, TO THE WAY THAT WE DRESS, THE MUSIC WE LISTEN TO AND THE WAY THAT WE MOVE. ONE THING WE NEVER REALLY CONCERN OURSELVES WITH KNOWING IS HOW TO PREPARE FOR OUR FUTURE. ALTHOUGH YES WE BELIEVE THAT OUR PARENTS SHOULD HAVE EDUCATED US ON THAT, BUT WHAT IF THEY WEREN'T EDUCATED IN THAT FIELD. SO  WE TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY AND EDUCATE OURSELVES.

 

THINGS THAT I WISH I WAS AWARE OF AS TEEN TO THE AGE I AM NOW IS:

·     CREDIT IS VERY IMPORTANT

SAVINGS, SAVINGS, SAVINGS. REALIZING THAT ALTHOUGH YOU MAY NOPT USE THAT CREDIT WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL, BUT WHEN YOU GET INTO THE REAL WORLD; YOU RECOGNIZE THAT THAT CREDIT SCORE HOLDS MORE WEIGHT ON YOU THEN YOU KNOW!

·     EMPLOYMENT – IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT WORKING FOR ANY PLACE IS GOOD. YOU LEARN TIME MANAGEMENT, HOW TO BE DEPENDABLE AS WELL AS YOU BUILD LONG LASTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH YOUR CO-WORKERS AND BOSSES THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A POSITIVE ASSET FOR YOUR FUTURE JOBS. YOUR JOB IS NOT MEANT TO BE FUN; YOU ARE THERE TO PROVE YOURSELF. YOU ARE PROVING TO THEM WHY YOU WERE A BETTER CHOICE FOR THE COMPANY THEN ANYONE ELSE.

·     LONG LASTING FRIENDSHIPS: NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE REALLY TAKE THIS SERIOUS, BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU BUILD AND KEEP POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THOSE WHOM YOU HOLD CLOSE. CREATING THESE RELATIONSHIPS CAN ALSO PREPARE YOU FOR THE REAL WORLD. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO BUILDING BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS. FOCUS ON THOSE WHOM STAY CONSISTENT WITH YOU. YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO TRUST AND RELY ON THOSE YOU CALL “FRIENDS.”

·     AND LASTLY SAVINGS:

EVERY TIME THAT YOU GET PAID, PUT 10% OF YOUR CHECK IN A SAVING ACCOUNT. IT NOT ONLY TEACHES YOU HOW TO SAVE BUT IT  ALSO CREATES A RAINY DAY FUND. EVERYONE NEEDS AN RAINY DAY FUND BELIEVE IT OR NOT! SAVING CAN GO A LONG WAY AND IT TEACHES YOU MONEY MANAGEMENT. DON’T BE THE PERSON THAT LETS MONEY GOES THROUGH THEIR HANDS LIKE WATER! IM TELLING YOU IT’S IMPORTANT!!!

 

 

MANY OF THESE THINGS THAT I WROTE MIGHT SEEM DUMB OR OUR OF THE REALM TO PREPARE FOR BUT WHEN YOUR IN YOUR MID TWENTIES LEARNING ABOUT THESE FEW IMPORTANT DETAILS THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN IT’S A RUDE AWAKENING. WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER AND BE THE KIND OF PERSON THAT IS WILLING TO LEARN NEW THING! KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, SO USE IT!

How dirty is the Loo?

Happy Fri-YAY everybody! 

Studies from 2018 show that a single person would yield about 320 lbs of waste a year and out of a poll of 2,500 people it’s been revealed that going to the toilet accounts for the biggest chunk of time spent resulting into the “average time” of 1 hour and 42 minutes a week! That’s 92 days over a lifetime equaling 2208 hours! WOW

Now that we know how popular the loo is to the average Joe, let’s talk about sanitation. Did you know that the average toilet seat is covered in about 295 bacterial germs per square inch! Don’t forget the lever to flush your slush; a flushing lever can be home to as much as 83 bacterial germs.

You should also beware that when you flush, the toilet creates “Toilet Plume” also known as bacterial mist this is made of microscopic particles of pee and poop and whatever else is in the bowl prior to the flushing. This Toilet Plume can linger for up to 6 hours coating surfaces and regular bathroom toiletries including your toothbrush! (May be a good time to get you a toothbrush cover!)

So next time you’re in the Loo; doing the doo make sure to flush with the seat down! This is the easiest way to help avoid the spread of bacteria coating the surfaces of your restroom. You could hold your breath when you flush but its best to just ensure the toilet bowl remains clean and that you wash your hands immediately after using the bathroom.

Surprisingly enough, the pot is not the dirtiest spot in your home; can you guess what it is? 

The kitchen, home of the dish sponge!

How to stay healthy through the Holiday season

We made it to the ending of 2020! The most wonderful time of the year is here! Small Holiday bashes will begin maybe for your place of business or even your own home event. This year has brought so much awareness in regards to not only staying safe but sanitary as well in case you’re in need, we have some tips that’ll help keep you and your loved ones healthy this holiday season!

1.)  Rest! 7-8 hours of good quality sleep on a regular basis can help regulate blood pressure and according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this can reduce the chances of sleep related conditions such s apnea and promote better overall heart health.

2.)  Make arrangements to be distant. If you’re inviting different households to your holiday bash or business gathering, separate the tables by household so no one is sitting with others that are from a different home base, you can also set up hand sanitizer to promote cleanliness.

3.)  Have prepared plates to ensure no one is double dipping. Sometimes family can be too comfortable with each other, during this time it’s best to prevent a potluck situation. If you do maybe designate a server.  If you’re the hostest with the mostest and you’ll serve your guest, ensure that the hot food stays hot and the cold food stays cold to avoid any food-borne illnesses.

4.)  Exercise. Swap sit ups and jumping jacks instead of sitting on the couch, this will help maintain the holiday munchies weight that we all can’t seem to avoid.

We hope you have a safe and Sanitary Holiday season! Remember to wash your hands and wear a mask regularly to help slow and prevent the spread.

Calling every-potty! Portable restroom do’s and don’ts

 The port-a-potty on site is typically the number one spot for all the number two jobs, and we all know that when we gotta go, we gotta go!  Have you ever waited entirely too long to use the port-a-potty at a family get together, tailgate, back yard BBQ or concert only to open the doors to a dirty portable restroom experience? We’ve got some tips to help keep you and your guests / workers hinny shiny!

1.)    Try leaving the potty in better shape than you found it. When you walk into a clean potty, it’s more of a surprise than you would anticipate; entering into a clean potty helps you feel more sanitary and hopefully your guests will follow suit. If you’re the host, maybe post a sign as to how you would like your potty treated, ex: Please, Only Toilet Paper in the tank or Make sure to sanitize before leaving. Maybe even a: Thank you for helping us keep our potty from looking spotty.

2.)    No Cutting! We all hate the line, some of us end up doing the potty dance but the line is sometimes unavoidable, if you’re the host in this situation ensure you have enough potties to cover the amount of guests at your event. It’s not polite to skip the line all guests should be mind full of each other and the potties at use.

3.)    Get your business done in a timely manner; this will also help with the long line. The restroom is a common area to linger on the phone texting, reading a book or even just getting away from the crowd for a bit, but this isn’t the case for a portable restroom. Be courteous to others by getting in keeping it clean and ready for the next user.

Here at 2 Pees in a Pot we offer a 10 step servicing that addresses every aspect inside and outside the potty including the front door. Following the steps above will most definitely help maintain the integrity of your potty in between services.

Does plastic effect our environment?

 

Plastics are a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic compounds that are malleable to create different shapes. Because plastic is not a natural resource it can take several years to decompose.

The decomposition of plastic is said to take anywhere from 10 - 1,000 years to decompose and because only 23% of plastic is recycled in the United States it leaves a lot of room for plastic pollution. Plastic pollution causes harm to humans, animals and plants through toxic pollutants and the damage to our environment are long-lasting. This affects organisms in the food chain from tiny species like plankton to whales. Over 1 million marine animals (including mammals, fish, sharks, turtles and birds are killed each year due to plastic debris found in the ocean.

Currently there are 100 million tons of plastic in oceans around the world as well as micro plastics, including streams, rivers, lakes and oceans making it easier to find in the water we drink and the fish we eat. Not disposing the plastic like reusable plastic bags and other debris properly can also create blockages to our storm drains and culverts and impeding the flow of water and worsening bank erosion..

Tips on staying organized this Holiday season

It’s that time of year to start planning for the Holidays! We all have lived the most interesting year thus far with the pandemic of 2020. As time has passed families have become more comfortable with small gatherings at home. We’re already Mid October, before we know it Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas will be gone and we will be ringing in the New Year with lots and lots of cheer for 2021! We have tips on how to stay organized this holiday season!

First things first, focus on what the holidays mean to you and yours, what traditions are you typically looking forward to that the pandemic is not affecting. For example, our family has a pumpkin carving party every year before Halloween; we crank up the spooky tunes and carve away. For us the head count is about 12 this includes the kiddos and parents so we are moving forward with this event this year. Thanksgiving and Christmas are a bit more extravagant and we may have to make other arrangements this year to minimize the amount of people invited. Once you have an idea of what cheer to provide this Holiday season you can start making your arrangements.

You can tackle many small tasks before the month is over; pre-writing and stamping holiday cards is a great way to be ahead of the game, if you have free time get your cards and list together now to start his process and mail them out the last week of November to ensure the people they’re headed to can get them in time.

If you plan on having a small get together, look into ordering a port-a-potty or wash station for extra sanitary purpose. This will help at any type of gathering, we provide a hand sanitizer dispenser in all our units, now your guests will have another location to do the doo and they’ll be able to stay sanitary! If you don’t need a potty, the wash stations are great (this option will be perfect for our pumpkin carving party) If the gathering is outside, place them on both sides of the property to attract more people to utilize them, they’re equipped with paper towels, soap and water!

Gift giver? Set up a gift wrapping area. Clear off your coffee table and set yourself up with all the things you’ll need so you can wrap as you shop! If you have an old empty box you can fill it you’re your new or unused paper form years before get your bow, ribbon, tape and tags ready at your station and now you don’t have to worry about lugging your baby elf station back and forth.

Don’t forget to take care of yourself, having down time to spend with your local family and friends are such a great way to celebrate the Holidays. Try to ensure time for you this season as this pandemic has kept us away from each other most of this year. Don’t stress about extravagant gifts and parties, this year has been tough enough on us, time is free and it’s the perfect gift to give to someone you’ve been missing!  

Halloween 2020 Block Party!

Let’s “creep” it real, 2020 has not been the year of all years! It has however, had us thinking outside the box when it comes to celebrations and holidays! Have you been to a drive-by baby shower or birthday party or maybe even hosted your own birthday parade this year?! Super fun and cute way to make sure no one feels left out because of these uncontrollable circumstances, also what a great story to tell when you’re older! Imagine hearing someone say “Well I had a parade for my Birthday in 2020!”  See what I mean? We’ll we’ve got a way to keep the distance and treat the kiddos to some outdoor fun this Halloween!

WHAT ABOUT A BLOCK PARTY?

A block party is essentially a street party orchestrated by the residents of a city block or neighborhood. It’s early October, if you have an HOA call and inquire about a block party for Halloween! If they ask what you have in mind ensure that it is definitely within CDC guidelines and possible to stay 6 feet apart from each family and if your kiddos are anything like my Spider-Man loving 4 year old or my Fortnite loving 9 year old they'll be prepared with a mask already! To make things easy for the neighborhood, delegate tasks! This will ensure no mixture of germs from house to house. For example, to bring some fun to the party have a karaoke station where someone cleans the microphone off after each turn and have 5 dancers at a time do a dance off for a fun and spooky treat! Home owners can keep their distance in their front yards and BBQ in the front for dinner and pass out store bought drinks. You can also keep your candy bowl full and place them at the nearest side walk.

Potties on the corner of the streets along with wash stations are a wonderful idea to keep the block healthy and sanitary! Call to receive your free quote today or place your order! I can assure you there’s nothing spooky about our potties! 210-951-5151

Best practes in the safty department at your next job site

Construction sites are popping up all over the city! New builds always get me excited, it means our community is growing and more jobs are coming! We’ve got some tips to help slow the spread of COVID and keep your team not only working through this pandemic but healthy too!

1.)    Rule of thumb if you’re feeling sick – Stay home! During the pandemic we’ve learned how hard it is to gauge if and when you contracted the virus. So if you aren’t 100% it’s probably best to sit the day out to assess how you’re feeling later in the evening or if your condition has worsened. Staying home helps keep your team in tip top shape while your body gets the rest it needs to rejuvenate. 

2.)    Avoid in person meetings – Hold safety meetings via zoom or regular conference calls. No need to meet up in person with the zoom app, all you need is to log in and be added by the host. There are audio and visual options in case there is a blue print that may need to be discussed.

3.)    Wipe down equipment that is shared with other employees with disinfecting wipes or spray such as the portable restroom, dumpster, time clocks, machinery. This should be done throughout the day once one employee is done with the machine have them wipe it down prior to the next persons arrival.

These tips are great for inside office employment too. While we’re all eager to get our cities open 100% again it’s so important to continue to keep our environment as clean as possible. You can count on us here at 2 Pees in a Pot to deliver clean, pristine, units along with exceptional customer service with each and every order!

Pollution and the effects it has on our planet, bodies and animals

You may be wondering what exactly is pollution; pollution is caused by solid and liquid particles and certain gases that are suspended in the air. These particles and gases can come anywhere from a truck exhaust to wildfires. There are several different types of pollution including but not limited to: air, water, soil, light, noise, radioactive, and environmental pollution.

For example the burning of fossil fuels contributes to the formation of smog; smog is a layer of particulate matter that hangs like a cloud over many major cities and industrial zones. This affects our bodies as we inhale what is lingering in the air which could cause future respiratory problems such as asthma or chronicle bronchitis. Not disposing of trash properly in a recycling or trash receptacle can also cause not only air pollution but water pollution as well.

We’ve got some ways we can help:

• ·        Reduce the amount of trips we make in the car, this can help minimize the amount of smog in the air.
• ·        Throw trash away in proper receptacles and recycle when you can! This will also help with conserving resources.
• ·        Stop littering, or pick up during your daily stroll. Trash not put in the proper receptacle bins can harm our animals on dry and wet land and create problems within their food chains.
• ·        Grease, cleaning supplies, medication, and garbage should not be poured / thrown down the kitchen sink or flushed down the toilet as this can create water pollution.

Remember recycling and the reuse of products is the best way to reduce waste not to mention save some of that money in your wallet!
