Well, I’ve been working at my new job for about two weeks now, and I have to say that I’m not surprised, just disappointed to find that people are just as crabby and aggravating here as they have been everywhere I’ve ever worked. I am being trained by several people who keep contradicting each other and telling me to do things “their” way, which is the exact opposite of the other training person’s way. I’m constantly being scolded for doing what I’ve been told to do, and it is very frustrating. I wish I was independently wealthy and could just stay home!

Monday, August 18th, 2008Motorcycle vacations
Thursday, July 31st, 2008My hubby has been riding his Harley every minute he can get in on it! He loves to ride! He’s been talking about taking a vacation together and signing up for some Motorcycle Tours through the Eagle Rider Company website that he found. They rent Harleys, but they also rent ATVs, scooters, snowmobiles, dirt bikes, and watercraft. They offer self-drive tours, guided tours, and one-way specials. Naturally they also sell motorcycles! I’m sure my hubby would love to be an Eagle Rider on our next vacation!
Saving money on college textbooks
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008I have always thought that college textbooks were/are a major source of income for the colleges that sell them through their campus bookstores, and that they are overpriced. I have always felt like I was being held hostage by them when I was in college. Now that the Internet has come into existence, however, it is a whole new ball game!
I was helping my son last night to order his college textbooks for this upcoming semester. We got the list of books that he needs from the University, and found out what they would cost from their bookstore.
Then we went to the website gettextbooks.com and typed in the ISBM numbers of the books that he needed. That site is a search engine that searches for where you can buy the books. The results come up in a form that shows you where you can buy it and how much it will cost, sorted by price. We found all of his textbooks and ordered them, saving $300!
Good deal!
Surgery for obesity
Thursday, July 24th, 2008The JourneyLite Company performs lapband surgery in their locations in the Los Angelas/Thousand Oaks area of California, the Houston Texas area, the Cincinnati Ohio area, the Chattanooga Tennessee area, and the Tampa Florida area. They offer the lap-band surgery to those clients who have tried every conceivable way to lose weight and have decided that surgery is their only option.
Buying at wholesale prices
Monday, July 21st, 2008I love to buy things at outlets where I pay wholesale prices without having to register as a retailer and can just buy things and use them at home! One such example of that is the Takemi Select Wholesale Outlet where you can buy massage therapy chairs or massage beds for up to 75% off of the retail price. They are located in Florida, but offer free shipping. They accept credit cards, and also offer 12 months no interest financing.
