Insane Random Ramblings

I need a oil change and a tire rotation. Every other oil change it’s time to get the tires rotated. Since my tires are brand new, I only have 6,000 miles on them, this is my first rotation. One of my tires blew out on the highway several months ago. When I got to the tire place I found out that all of the tires were pretty bad so I got them all replaced.

It’s too bad my inspection isn’t due until May. I could just get everything done at one time. At least I won’t have to put out too much money right now. 

16 Reasons Why Alcohol Should Be Served At Work… Part II 

8. It makes fellow employees look better. 

7. It eliminates vacations because people would rather come to work. 

6. Increase job satisfaction because if you have a bad job, you don’t care. 

5. It encourages car pooling. 

4. Employees tell management what they think, not what they want to hear. 

3. It reduces complaints about low pay. 

2. It leads to more honest communications 

1. It’s an incentive to show up.

Well not really patiently. I’m almost stalking the mailman every day trying to see if I got a letter with my money. I’m still not sure whether I’m getting a gift card or a check for the amount. It doesn’t matter either way just as long as it comes. If it were a life insurance check I’m sure I would have had it weeks ago. They usually don’t play when it comes to getting you your cash.

Hopefully I’ll have some good news by the end of the week. If I have to wait over the weekend I’ll probably go crazy.

It seems like I’m waiting for something in almost every aspect of my life.

• I’m waiting to hear from a recruiter about a potential job interview.
• I’m waiting on my w-2’s to file my taxes.
• I’m waiting for my anti-virus to work on my computer.
• I’m waiting on some money to come in.
• I’m waiting to see if it will be cash or gift cards.

And so on and so on. It’s really quite tiresome. I’ll be glad when the only thing I’m waiting on is vacation. Now that’s something to wait for.

My boss has put the entire office on a internet ban. They are looking at a few people very closely, especially me. Right now they’re lurking about trying to see what I’m doing. I also think they have a few of my coworkers spying on us. It’s so ridiculous though. If I’m on my lunch or caught up on my work then what’s the problem?

I could see if I wasn’t doing my work or making too many mistakes because I was more concerned with the internet, but that’s not the case. This place is beyond juvenile.

16 Reasons Why Alcohol Should Be Served At Work…  

Part I

I made writing one of my resolutions last year. However both of my classes in the Spring were intensive writing courses. I didn’t expect it to be that much writing when I made my resolutions. After I did all of my school work, I wasn’t in the mood to write anything else. I got discouraged once the semester was over since I hadn’t made any progress in any of my personal writing.

Maybe I’ll start writing again this year. I haven’t decided yet but I do know that I won’t put the same pressure on myself that I did last year.

I went out to get something to eat. I knew specifically what I wanted. First I had to stop at the post office to mail a package and then hit the gas station since I was close to “E”. After that I went to the drug store. I didn’t get any prenatal vitamins but I did buy a diet soda and some chewing gum. After that I headed to get something to eat.

First there was a beggar in the store asking everyone for money. The manager told us not to give him anything because they had offered him food which he turned down. The store had a special but of course they were out of what I wanted. I ordered something similar but once I got it home, it wasn’t what I wanted.

That’s why I shop late in the day/early evening. There’s usually not as many people in the store and they almost always have what I want. Oh well maybe I’ll have better luck the next time.

From the spam comments I mean. I thought it was just backlinks to their sites, which can be very important if you’re trying to make money. Those backlinks can increase the visibility of your site and also raise the page rank. The rank of your site determines how much people are willing to pay you for those links. If you need to sell anti wrinkle cream, shoes or furniture, you would pay more for a site that highly ranked and even more for a site that is relevant to yours.

Otherwise I don’t see what they get out of spamming others. Unless they just a kick out of annoying other people.

It’s almost funny because I really almost let one of them get to me. The comment said something like my opinion was wrong and I didn’t know what I was talking about. When I first read the comment I got aggitated. Then I looked to see what post it was on and whether or not the comment was relevant. It wasn’t. They commented on a really old post about me mailing a bill late. Since the comment was geared towards quick trim users, it wasn’t even remotely related to my post. I just deleted it and kept moving.

It’s really funny how some of the spam comments almost get through. I just have to keep watching them and make sure I only approve real comments. No free back links for you Mr. Spammer Guy.
