Watch batteries
Ok, I’m getting tired of not knowing what time it is. As mentioned some time ago, I have two watches and the batteries in both watches died at the same time. I haven’t worn a watch in months and am not happy about that. I have a costume watch a coworker gave me that I’m [...]

Why I dislike big box salespeople
When I got into computer sales it was to sell Apple products. We spent weeks in training. One of the fun things we used to do was go to big box stores and ask the computer salespeople questions, because we quickly found out they frequently didn’t know the answers and would often make them up [...]

Raise your hand if you hold it in
At work this morning we heard a news piece on the radio where the announcer claimed that a number of men surveyed wore girdles. I remember girdles from when I was a teenager. I didn’t need one then but they were still popular. I did wear one a couple of years later, for my wedding, [...]
Do you care if clothes match?
My Mom got me a cute top that is beige and has light turquoise beading on the front in the neck and chest area. I put it on this morning at 5am for the first time. I put on turquoise pants that matched the beads. I got as far as the bedroom door when I [...]
Aim High Enough on 03/21/08

Online surveys skew the results
I’m in one or two programs, such as Ipsos Isay, that offer participants surveys (not for money). I received an invitation to take one today, which I did. If you’ve never taken one of these before, you click on a link in your email. You’re asked some basic info, stuff like age, sex, if you [...]

Thank goodness that’s over
I just got in from municipal court, where I was all day since 3pm. I’ll be writing about some of what I saw there for sure, but not tonight because I’m absolutely exhausted and have to be up at 4am to go to work. I never ate dinner, never made it to the grocery store [...]

This was the fifteenth anniversary of the fund raiser benefiting the Special Olympics of New Jersey. It is the largest single day fundraiser benefiting the [...]

Well, here it is Thursday again. I received an email earlier in the week with a video clip that brought me to tears. In case you haven’t noticed I’m in tears a lot on Thursdays when it’s time to Share Some Good Stuff with my pal Skeet. Sorry, I can’t help it. Anyway, here’s the [...]
