As you all know, I recently began a 7 week employee training course that would lead to a great work at home position as a reservation specialist for a major international hotel chain. Today was the beginning of my fourth week, half way through, and I was both excited and nervous. Then, the other shoe dropped.
At 1:00 today, the call center director came into our training classroom and informed us that, due to the current U.S. economy which is resulting in people not traveling, all training classes were being cancelled and as of today, we were no longer employed. Yep, it sucks.
I’d write more, but that pretty much reflects how I’m feeling right now. I guess it really was too good to be true.
My sister had this on her site at The Pond and tagged me. I think I would’ve shared it even if she hadn’t tagged me because I really do think it is important.
I don’t really talk much politics and I believe everyone has a right to their own opinion. However, everyone in the United States also has a right to vote. Please don’t tell me you’re one of those people that sits around complaining about the administration, or the economy, or the war, or anything else affecting our lives, but you don’t take advantage of your right to vote. Voting is so simple and yet, one of the most important events we can take part in. I don’t just vote in the big presidential elections, but I also vote in local elections that affect my daughter’s education, our property taxes, our utility bills, etc. and so should you.
This is a great video.
If the deadline in your state hasn’t all ready passed, I know it has here in Texas, please make sure to register to vote.
This post is directed to all the women out there, sorry men.
I never thought I would say this, but there is now something positive to come out of menstruation, specifically, the menstrual blood. The truth is, recent studies have shown that menstrual blood contains stem cells and these stem cells, if collected, have the potential to be life saving. For something so special to be found in something that has caused me such misery for the past 35 years, I am amazed.
C’elle menstrual blood cells have recently shown to have the potential to help in future treatments of heart disease, stroke, MS, diabetes, Parkinson’s and even Alzheimer’s. C’elle has patented technology with its easy to use collection kit. While I realize that stem cell research can be controversial, we’re talking about something that is naturally discharged from a woman’s body every month and in my mind, that is a completely non-controversial of utilizing potentially life saving stem cells. Considering my own dad suffered from diabetes, as did his mom, it is something I may have to deal with as I get older.

Today, Thursday, August 7th is Miracle Treat Day at Dairy Queen.
All proceeds that Dairy Queen makes off their Blizzards will be going to the Children’s Miracle Network. What better way to enjoy a blizzard than to eat it knowing that you are helping children all over North America.
A man in South Carolina went into a local bank to open a new account. He handed the bank employee a $1 [tag]million dollar bill[/tag] to open the account with. When the employee refused to open the account, the man became irate and started cursing at the bank employees. Police were called.
First big mistake on his part? The U.S. Federal Government has never issued a $1 million dollar bill. He was arrested on forgery charges. He was later charged with a second count of forgery when the police discovered that before going to the bank, he had purchased cigarettes at a convenience store using a stolen check.
