I’m trying to sell stuff on Ebay

But it’s not working out so good. Some of the things that I have just aren’t that interesting so nobody wants them. Other stuff is abundantly available so I’m getting lowball offers right now. Maybe once the holidays pass the market place will pick back up as far as prices go. Then my computer is super slow so it takes me 10 minutes to list an item that should only take a few minutes to list.

I need to comparison shop some more so I can decide how much to charge for my items. I need to clean my house and get rid of some of the stuff that I have. I’m off to list some more stuff now.

They finally re-scheduled our flu clinic

But the scheduled it for the week before Christmas which is pretty weird. Most of the people at work are on vacation for the week before and the week of the holiday. If enough people don’t sign up to get the shot, the clinic will be cancelled and re-scheduled again.

Luckily we do have a clinic set up at another location for this Thursday. As long as I have my work badge I can visit their clinic for my shot. I do not want to get sick again this year and I’m making sure I take the necessary precautions to keep the flu bug away.

No joke this week either

My computer is totally acting up and I can’t access my emails which is where all of my jokes are. I had some jokes on my flash drive but I’ve already used all of them. Maybe by next week I’ll be able to post the jokes back on schedule.

When I don’t post on my regular schedule, it just messes my whole week up.

Our flu shot clinic was cancelled

What a bummer! We have a travelling clinic that visits each of our sites twice a year. It’s especially important that they come around since it’s flu season and everyone is sick. Well they cancelled the visit for this month. It may be rescheduled depending on availability but there is no guarantee. It’s not like we need hcg shots austin or anything like that. This is a flu shot we’re talking about. They’re usually convenient because they come to the job and you don’t have to take time off from work.

I really hope they reschedule. I doubt if I’ll be able to get an appointment this late in the year.

I’m trying to keep my composure

But it’s not easy. Long story short I didn’t get the job that I applied for. Not really a problem for me. I know you don’t get every job that you apply for. Cool. However I just found out who did get the job. It’s one of my coworkers. She is qualified for the job but she didn’t want it. She never even applied for it. They just offered it to her. Of course she accepted it. I’m happy for her but at the same time I’m ticked off at the way it went down.

Office politics sucks like hell!

Am I the only person on the planet still not on Facebook?

I was talking to my friend last night and she was telling about one of her “Facebook friends”. It’s someone she doesn’t know in real life but that she met on the website. I asked her if she had gotten a computer and she said no. She has one of those Palm phones and she used that to start her account. Then she told me about all of my old coworkers who were on FB. Some of them I don’t miss talking to at all but I wouldn’t mind catching up with some of the others.

I’m not saying that I’m the most tech-savvy person that I know but wow, I can’t believe everyone seems to have a page but me. I think I may have to breakdown and create a page or something. It just stinks that my computer is acting up right now. It will be hard to keep something updated that I can’t get to because the computer is slow. I don’t know if it’s the system memory or what that’s causing my computer to run like this but it’s super slow right now. Sometimes I can only be online for a few minutes and only 3 pages will load.

Hopefully I’ll get a new computer soon because I need to get with the times.

Joke of the week

Cliches and Conundrums Part II

“Nice Guys Finish Last”
Not true. Studies have shown that, on average, nice guys finish third in a field of six. Actually, short guys finish last. By the way, in medieval times it was widely believed that nice guys finished twenty-sixth. You can see how limited those people were.

“If You’ve Seen One, You’ve Seen Them All”
Do we even have to talk about this one? This should be obvious. If you’ve seen one, you’ve seen … one. If you’ve seen them all, *then* you’ve seen them all. I don’t even understand how this one got started.

“It Takes Two to Tango”
Sounds good, but simple reasoning will reveal that actually it takes only one to tango. It does take two to tango together, maybe. But one person is certainly capable of tangoing on his own. He just might look a little silly.

“If It’s Not One Thing, It’s Another”
No, not always. Sometimes if it’s not one thing, not only is it not another, but it turns out to be something else entirely.

Where has this year gone?

I can’t believe it’s already December. There are less than 3 weeks before Christmas gets here. I probably only work 15 days for the rest of the year because of vacation days and holidays. I don’t really have any plans for my off days either. I’ll probably lie around on my mattress and watch tv and eat snacks. I’ll probably spend a few days with my mom and I may visit some relatives in Florida. It just depends on how my money goes.

I hope I at least get to enjoy the holiday season and it doesn’t fly by as fast as the rest of this year has.

I remembered to buy my new calendar

I got my 2010 calendar pretty early this year. I actually got it last month. The calendar runs from June of this year all the way until December of next year. I’ve already started migrating some of my stuff over. I’m only going as far back as October unless it’s something really important. I won’t throw my old book away until the end of next year anyway so I’ll still have everything I need pretty close.

I’m really pretty particular about this kind of stuff so I’m glad I remembered to do it early.
