Communication Issues

Anyone who has the opportunity to learn another language would be smart to take advantage of this education. We are becoming a population that is so diverse that communication is becoming a big issue and not one to take lightly. To be able to understand and to be able to translate is a wonderful power these days. Businesses are looking for people that are multi lingual, being able to converse with your customer is a big deal and rightfully so.

There are cuts being made in our schools. Foreign language teachers are being laid off, along with the art and music teachers, which should be of concern to all of us. We need our students to learn languages to use in the future in the business world. A translator can earn big bucks these days and are becoming in high demand as the years go by.

There are translation services popping up everywhere, online and off, and they are doing very well. They are always looking for people to hire that can speak other languages and not just Spanish, although we have a huge amount of Spanish speaking people in our country these days. German, Japanese, Chinese, French, Vietnamese and countless other languages are in demand as well.

Let’s Get Real With Affordable Insurance For Floridians

I didn’t realize that Florida insurance is one of the highest priced in the United States. Auto insurance comes in 5th and home owners comes in at a crazy number 3.  What a pain in the rear for all of the Floridians that flock to the sunshine for their retirement years. There really should be a law against raping our senior citizens of their hard earned money. They have worked hard all of their lives only to be robbed by the insurance companies.

NetQuote.com is trying to bring affordable insurance to these good people. They offer all the types of insurance that one could need and I would urge anyone in Florida to give them a look see online and see if they can get you a better deal. It’s all about the $$$

Could It Be Spring?

Saturday, March 6th, 2010 | entertainment, life, weather | No Comments

Today was the first day that we could turn the heaters off and leave the house without having to bundle up in coats, hats and gloves. Tomorrow promises to be even better, we are suppossed to hit the upper 50’s. I’ve got to find something to do outside in order to enjoy the brilliant weather day.

It’s most unfortunate that the nice weather will be short lived, I’m told that by the end of next week, winter will be rearing it’s ugly head once again.

Random thoughts for the day

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 | entertainment, family, life | No Comments

1. I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection…again.

13. I’m always still slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes – to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this thing I have– ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

17. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

18. My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day “What would happen if you ran over a ninja?” How the heck do I respond to that?

19. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

20. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet, on any given Friday or Saturday night, more kisses begin with Bud Light than with a Kay jewelry product.
