One of our employees accidentally dropped their tablet while performing work-related tasks. Unfortunately, the device was not equipped with a protective case at the time, which increased the risk of damage. After reviewing the situation, we recognized that this oversight was our responsibility, as we had not provided an adequate protective case to safeguard company equipment from such accidents.
Following the incident, I took immediate steps to resolve the issue. I arranged for a professional screen replacement to repair the device, ensuring that the tablet returned to a fully functional and reliable state. Once the screen was successfully replaced and tested to confirm proper operation, I took additional preventative action by equipping the tablet with a high-quality, durable protective case. This case will help to minimize the risk of future damage from accidental drops, contributing to the longevity of the device.
Moving forward, our team has acknowledged the importance of providing proper accessories, such as protective cases, for all electronic devices issued to employees. This incident has served as a valuable learning experience, reminding us to prioritize proactive measures to reduce the likelihood of similar accidents and to better support our staff in carrying out their responsibilities safely and efficiently.
If you’ve recently checked out the menu at any Anthem Coffee & Tea location and noticed something new and high-tech hanging above the counter—yep, that digital display for food and drinks—I have a fun behind-the-scenes story for you. I’m the one who ordered and installed the ceiling mounts for all 6 of our stores—solo!
Why Go Digital?
Our menu is always growing with new drinks, pastries, and specials you don’t want to miss. Paper menus or wall signs can feel cluttered and don’t always get updated quickly. Digital menu boards are a great way to:
Show off new items right as they launch
Keep the counter area clean and open
Make the menu visible for everyone, no matter where you’re waiting
To pull this off at six different Anthem Coffee & Tea locations, we needed a reliable mounting system. That’s where my solo project really began.
One Person, Six Ceiling Mounts
I’m not the owner (I wish, haha!), but I take a lot of pride in making things better for our customers and my coworkers. Figuring out which mounts to get took some serious research. I required something strong, safe, and easy to install—since I was doing every step myself.
Once I settled on the right model, I ordered six ceiling mounts—one for each store. When they arrived, my car looked like a mobile hardware store: boxes and brackets filled up every seat and square inch!
The DIY Install Adventure
Doing a six-store project by myself was no small task! Here’s what it looked like at each Anthem location:
Unpack & Prep: Lay out the tools, brackets, and cables so nothing got lost.
Measure (twice!): Make sure the menu would be at the perfect viewing angle.
Up the Ladder: Drill, anchor, and secure the mount to the ceiling—all while hoping not to drop a single screw!
Mount the TV & Hide the Cables: A neat, tidy look was always the goal.
Test It Out: Make sure every display was straight, working, and ready to shine.
It took some sweat, problem-solving, and a lot of coffee, but I managed to get each digital menu display up and running.
The Payoff
Now, every guest at Anthem Coffee & Tea can enjoy a modern, easy-to-read menu at every location. Updating specials is a breeze, and the setup looks so much more inviting. Best of all, I get a little boost of pride whenever I see someone glance up and easily find what they want.
Have questions about the setup or want to know how you can do something similar? Please let me know in the comments or stop by the next time you’re in for your favorite drink. Thanks for letting me share a bit of the behind-the-scenes magic—and for supporting Anthem Coffee & Tea!
So far, I am pleased with myself for completing three stores in a single week. Now, we can continue to achieve this.
After the success of my last TV installation project, I was thrilled to take on a brand-new challenge at a different location—in the heart of historic Old Town! This time, I got to flex some new skills: mounting a TV from the ceiling.
Stepping Up: The Ceiling Mount Advantage
Old Town is known for its unique architecture and cozy business spaces. Occasionally, that means wall space is at a premium, or the viewing angles for a wall-mounted TV just aren’t ideal. In this case, the best solution was a sleek, efficient ceiling mount. Not only does it save space, but it also gives everyone in the room a perfect view—exactly what a modern menu display or information screen needs.
The Process: Precision From Above
Ceiling mounting is a more technical task than your average wall install. I started by carefully checking the ceiling beams and structure to make sure the mount would be 100% secure for the long haul. With all the right anchors and tools, I mapped out the perfect spot and got to work.
After attaching the mount and lifting the TV into place (a solid upper-body workout!), I made sure all the wiring was neat, hidden, and safe. Once everything was set, I powered up the display—right in the center of the action, perfectly angled for everyone to see.
Why Ceiling Mounts Make a Difference
Not only does the ceiling mount look clean and professional, but it also brings real versatility to a space—no more crowding up the counters or blocking windows. In a character-rich place like Old Town, it was the right call to keep the atmosphere open while still adding modern tech.
Best of all? The staff were thrilled, the menu looked sharp, and everyone who walked in could tell this was a real upgrade.
Final Thoughts
Every new location brings its surprises, and Old Town was no different. Adding the ceiling mount to my growing list of skills made this project extra satisfying. Here’s to more creative installs and happy customers—wherever the next job takes me!

Before mount
I did install TV Mount, and It was so simple to do. This time was doing one TV Measure so 24 inch both side TV on back. Then add another 24 inch so that where the second mount screw will be at. So helpful resource.
This was taken down old wall mount to ceiling mount
My favorite brand and their TV mount were so strong that they guaranteed it would last for a lifetime.
After mount now both are ceiling mount
