Sure, there are some pretty good websites out there that help find a job. But do they really do the job? Sites like HotJobs and Monster almost always seem filled with spam about working from home. The Ladders does little more than aggregate stuff from a bunch of other sites–at least its tidy. Indeed does [...]
When you drive a car the most important thing to be able to see is what is coming at you. The windshield is the single most important viewing lane for a driver. But the second most important is all of your mirrors. Often driving is a lot of reflecting on the past and what might [...]
My family was going to order a pizza at our favorite pizza place, until we called and they didn’t answer. I called every where but it seemed no pizza place was open on Christmas. Guess we are the only crazy people who want pizza on New Years, but we stopped at our local grocery store, [...]
I was trying to look at game tables for Christmas and Sears wouldn’t let me without registering. Since when did I need to use Sears like Facebook. No thank you Sears, I don’t care about you enough. I found my game table at Wal-Mart. See again someday, maybe.
