Monday Quiz About Me #7

Blueyes™ — Mon, 21 May 2012 12:05:51 +0000

Acting Balance has started a new Monday Quiz.

The Rules: I’m going to ask FOUR QUESTIONS that everyone can answer and then you have the option to add a fifth question of your own for those who are visiting your blog to answer in the comment section, along with commenting on the four standard questions you answered!

1. Finish this sentence – The last book I read and enjoyed was….
So many to choose from that I can’t really say. I can say for sure the one I just finished yesterday wasn’t all that great which was by Bernard Cornwell called Last Kingdom.

2. Do you have special Victoria Day (Canadian) or Memorial Day (US) traditions? If you don’t live in Canada or the US, what is the next holiday that you are celebrating where you are?
No traditions here. I take the day off because it is a state holiday but do nothing. I do not like celebrating holidays really.

3. If you could invent something to make your life simpler, what would it be?
Hmm, not really sure. Maybe a simpler way to grow vegetables to where I won’t kill them? I’ve quite enjoyed having my lettuce bowl on the back porch.

4. What is your favorite recent blog post?
I can’t really say that I have a favorite recent other than the Awww…Mondays I view every Monday

And your question is:

Are you ready for Hurricane Season if you live in the path of any hurricanes? Apparently it is starting early again this year.

Five Question Friday #4

Blueyes™ — Fri, 11 May 2012 12:19:28 +0000

1. What advice would you give a couple getting married?
Don’t do it? Honestly, I do not see the need if you truly love someone. A piece of paper does make a marriage and therefore does not need one IMO.

2. If you could tell your 16 year old self ONE thing, what would it be?
Exercise and watch what you eat because it will come back to haunt you when you hit your 30-40s.

3. What do you do to keep cool in the summer? (AC, windows, fans, swimming, etc.)
AC at the house. I cannot sleep when I’m hot.

4. What did you (or your wife) crave most while pregnant?
N/A since I have never been pregnant nor aim to be.

5. Who is your favorite TV mom? Why?
I don’t really have one. I know one I wouldn’t want which is from Married with Children.

===============

On a side note, I thought I already started to kill off the lettuce bowl but found out it just needed water. I moved it out of direct sunlight now to see how that goes. *woopsies*

2. Would you rather be on the biggest loser or a food eating challenge?

A drink from Sonic? Never been there. Favorite summer drink? Sugar Free Kool-Aid Grape.

Chevrolet something or other and I don’t name my cars.

Virtual Offices

Blueyes™ — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 23:29:54 +0000

You cannot get away without one these days especially if you are in business for yourself. Sure we have our home offices and your standard work offices but the virtual office is coming into its own. I know a few people who actually are a group of people in which they rent a space so they can meet clients and have a business address to receive work related mail. If you happen to be traveling a lot for your line of work it might be feasible to search out locations to rent along the way.

Virtual Offices in Brisbane would be spectacular. When you rent space in other countries you can obtain a local address, phone number, receptionist if needed, and complete office communication access.

Along with the being your own company, other jobs can require or be in need of a virtual office as well. Take being a doctor. You need to have access to all medical records if you happen to be on call and at home should the hospital call with a question. With the degrees I am obtaining, I will most likely have a virtual office as well because you cannot fix computers in just one place. You need to go where the work takes you but you also need to have access to your information. Maybe one day I can own my own business as well so I would want to have access to this for the office space and communications. It would be nice to run everything out of your house but if you have to meet clients that would not be the most ideal.

I have furkids and I do not require that they eat all their food. In fact, one of them I encourage NOT to eat it all cuz she’s about 25 lbs overweight.

2. Do you give an allowance?
Furkids gets treats for being good.

3. Do you actually park your car in the garage?

4. What is one food you will NEVER cook?
I have to choose just one? The immediate ones that come to mind are grits, cabbage, steak, liver, etc.

5. Do you have anything exciting planned for the summer?
I take the kids to kidney camp every summer in June. Other than that I plan to get as much sun as possible before the next semester starts at the end of May.
