Job Hunting

Monday, October 19th, 2009 | Personal with Comments Off

Okay, since everybody knows I’m on the hunt for a part time job. I figured I’d post some links of where I have been looking in case you haven’t heard of any of them and could use them. These are in no particular order.

1. Craigslist
2. Lowcountry Help Wanted
3. Snag A Job
4 and 5. Local sites which have no use for you guys but I can post them if you happen to be in SC. One is a federal job site and another is just a local site for SC.
6. Local newspaper online

I also hit up all the local stores websites and fill out applications. So far nothing. It’s a sad state of affairs people.

Craigslist sort of scares me too with some of the ads. I mean, really, who exactly will apply for porn? Are they even allowed to post jobs like that on a public forum?

Cars Fixed

Why exactly do they have 3 different versions of a car battery? I’m all for the cheapest one so long as it will make my car run. I got a jump this morning and got to work praying I did not stall the car at all because just my luck I’d end up doing that during traffic which was horrid and be stranded. I should have just ridden with my friend and dealt with the car when I got home. As soon as I pulled into the garage and shut the car off it died a fast death. I knew the battery was toast then and would need a jump when I was leaving. Called Public Safety and they took their sweet ass time getting to me and in the meantime I saw at least 40 cars pass by me on the way home. I was standing beside my car waiting for Public Safety to show up in a vehicle and did not want them to miss me.

I get over to Autozone and they test the battery and it cut the actual machine off because it was so dead lol Guess that was a new one on them. I guess it was a good life for the battery as it is original to the vehicle and lasted almost 6 years. They got me for $60.84. Luckily I get paid Wednesday so I just wrote them a check.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness

Monday, October 19th, 2009 | Health with Comments Off

ribbonBreast cancer, to me, seems so prevalent in society. You could probably do a six degrees from any one person and they will most likely know someone who has or has had breast cancer. I have known quite a few people and each one of them has survived by the way. I have a friend right now going through ovarian cancer on her second round of treatment because the first treatment course did not work so they are doing a different one now. Not sure how prevalent ovarian cancer is but maybe C’elle could help with that as well.

Right now there is a C’Elle Breast Cancer Donation drive going on during the month of October in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. I am still some what bothered by the fact of using embryonic stem cells but more research is being offered using this sort of means including our own research. So long as it helps cure diseases in the end, that should be the other thing that matters right? Technically no one is being harmed in obtaining this which is important. Right now there is a Cyro-Cell Breast Cancer Donation of $50 for each purchase of the “Protect Baby, Protect Mom” service and $25 for each purchase of the “C’elle Menstrual Stem Cell” service to the Susan B. Komen Foundation. Cryo-Cell has a partnership with NIH right now to find how menstrual stem cells can be a treatment option for breast cancer. Get out there and support a worthwhile cause like this because we all know someone who has breast cancer.

What Is This?

IMG00026 Okay, since we solved the black walnut issue. This is growing on the trunk of the same walnut tree. I can break them off pretty easily but they keep coming back and more each time. Why do I have these wacky trees?

Still on the mole hunt. I really need to buy mole poison because they have GOT to be breeding like it is out of style because they have torn up my front yard now. The dogs are digging holes in the back yard trying to find them. I’m tried of filling in holes.

Searching the Interweb

Do people even call it that anymore? Was it ever a mainstream word? It is things like this that make you wonder what happened way back when. I know I cannot remember half of the things I have done but remember all to well the times I’ve gotten in trouble or escaping trouble for that fact when nobody found out what I was doing.

Ever wondered what happened with that crew you hung out with, or that crazy guy who seemed to be the class clown? I do sometimes. I also wonder who made it big. I have seen a few of my classmates around where I live and obviously we did not make it anywhere and 1 of them I wonder how long before they are back in jail. I never really understand why some people end up on the wrong side of the law.

MyLife is the class reunion website that I use to try to track down some of my old classmates. A few of them have been popping up lately as we are nearing our 20 year high school reunion. Maybe most of them are realizing it has been 20 years since high school and they are wanting to get to the next reunion since they were not able to arrive at the 10 year reunion. It would be good if more people showed up than the last one. I know a few people I was looking for were not there so hopefully they will show up this time. One of them I know is in the military so hopefully he is stateside come next June.

When It Rains, It Pours

I can’t seem to catch a break these days. Still looking for a part time job and have been applying everywhere. Was going to go back out this Wednesday as I’m off to apply at any other places I can find but this morning I was getting ready to go to work and the effin battery is dead in my car. I just can’t win. Everything is against me these days. More money I need to fix the effin car but don’t have. I’m almost to the point of just giving up.
