Just a 2-Part Quickie
Today I went to volunteer at my local United Way and I was asked to create a new database of all volunteers using Microsoft Excel. After completing that database and a few other things, I felt much better because not only did I keep busy but also knowing that I volunteered. The director of that chapter can help me out in finding a job since she ( Read more... ) -

A New Interest (Something I Rarely Talk About)
I was working on my new set of goals while I had the TV on in the living room earlier this evening. The only thing that caught my attention was that show "Ghost Whisperer" with Jennifer Love Hewitt so I left it on ( Read more... ) -

Just an idea from whim!
All right I have been tired of doing and earning nothing (besides looking for a another job) and then it hit me...why not try out for a substitute teacher? People have often told me I would make a great teacher because of my encyclopedic knowledge and the way I sound when I train someone.

Nothing new these days, except that I have changed my diet and workouts because I wasn't getting anywhere. For starters I was eating too many carbohydrates and the exercises only emphasized strength.

Urgh...nothing special this weekend. I tried to dowload and install Object Desktop from Stardock, but it keeps saying it's not connected to the Internet while I can still go browse online otherwise. Wierd! I tried calling phone support, but that hasn't worked either. Maybe that explains why I haven't received any responses to the e-mail I've ( Read more... )
