What’s Up With That Wendy’s

I really like going to Wendy’s for their great burgers! And I like their baked potatoes. Their french fries are not as good as McDonald’s, but they are tolerable if they are hot and sprinkled with salt. I do wish they offered a salt substitute!

All that being said, I am not a fan of their restrooms! I have never been inside a Wendy’s restroom where there was a clean dry place to put a coat. In the winter time, I wear a coat that goes below my hips, and when I use the bathroom I like to take it off and put it on a hook. Wendy’s has neither, and I really don’t want to dump my coat on the floor or in the sink. The sinks are stand alone sinks with no counter space to put anything, so if I do put my coat in the sink it usually gets wet.

So, Wendy’s, hear my plea! Put hooks and shelves in the bathroom!

Teaching The Teacher In Back To School

From what I hearing the amount of people taking advantage of all the Online Degree Programs that are being offered more and more these days for people that for what ever reason choose not to attend the regular/standard class room classes that most of us attended back in our formal education days.

My good friend Skip, I just recently found out, has always wanted to be a 3rd grade teacher, not 2nd grade or 4th grade, it has to be 3rd grade, for reasons that he is keeping to himself at this point. And now that his kids are grown and out of the house and he and his wife split up, he is all about what HE wants and what He needs, and I think He is crazy! No not really, well maybe just a tad, it’s just that I never knew that he had always wanted to be a teacher. I know he is good with kids, but teaching them every day, day in and day out, week after week, month after month, ugh it makes my head hurt just thinking about be stuck in a classroom with 20 or 30 loud, wild and crazy 8, 9 and 10 year old kids! He really must be committed to this dream in order to be seriously talking about and checking out the online degree programs in education with The University of Phoenix which is a very well known school that offers accredited online and campus programs in education as well as numerous other programs as well.

I’m assuming that he has the money all ready saved up to take these courses, if not there is ample assistance for today’s students to aid in the cost involved in obtaining these degrees. But I’ll send him a few links that I have come up with, like the one http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ which will take him to a Free Application For Federal Student Aid, ’tis the least I can do for the guy at this point.

More and more people are putting videos on Facebook to share with their “Facebook Friends” which is cool, it is a good way to find entertaining videos that have all ready been viewed and critiqued by people that you “care” about. I have always enjoyed these commercials done by E*Trade and this one is one of the better ones.

I just heard that my eldest sister has up and quite her full time job at the pharmacy that she has been working so hard at for the past couple of years. She spent a good amount of time, effort and money to go back to school in order to become a pharmacy tech and she was really looking forward to being one of the best pharmacy tech’s in the area, but it just wasn’t meant to be, it seems. The people that she is stuck working with have made her miserable day in and day out and apparently she had had enough and said those famous last words of “Take This Job and Shove It!” Man I wish that I had been there to see their faces when she said that!

So now that she is once again unemployed she is looking at some other options such as Online Trading with an Online Broker and getting started with Mobile Trading, IRA Accounts and Stock Trading. I’m afraid I will not be much help to her with this type of high finance, not something that I have checked into, but I am willing to learn and help her in any way that I can in her newest endeavour. Best of luck to you once again sis!

The Advertising Game Today

It seems that gone are the days of the typical Advertising Agency like the one that both the Darrens on Bewitched worked at, since the Internet has taken over and became so huge. With more people using the Internet on a daily basis for so many things today’s Advertising Agency has had to think out side of the “normal” box. People are still advertising in newspapers, magazine, radio and of course on the TV but people are consuming these venues much different than in the past and turning to the World Wide Web.

I have always been some what fascinated with the Advertising business, at one point I almost went to work for an Advertising Agency, but getting drafted got in the way of that and that in itself changed everything in my life. I have a few friends that are in Advertising and I enjoy conversing with them and learning some of their strategies and how they are trying hard to keep their customers happy in the 21st century’s media market as well as bringing in new customers. Advertising is still hard work and it is always changing and evolving, makes me wonder what will come next.
