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!
My brother-in-law seems to be in better spirits these days. The past year hasn’t been the best for my kid sister and he. They both got laid off last year, a double whammy that really hurt them, big time. They were both working for the same Advertising Agency that did a major down sizing that ended up devastating them and their kids.
Anyway, it seems that the market is opening up just a bit and he has two interviews lined up next week with two different Advertising Agency businesses that are doing better in today’s whirlwind economic mess that has been playing havoc on us all. If he can at least get back to work it would help the situation out a whole lot. Where there is hope, right? They have both been working part times jobs here and there, but they have no health insurance on them or the kids right now. The COBRA plans that companies offer employees when they leave the company are just outrageously priced for people that are now out of work, it just doesn’t make any sense.
It may be a while before both of them find an Advertising Agency to work for. I have tried to help them out as much as I can and I understand that other family members have stepped up to the plate as well. I’m glad that a few of the family members are willing and able to lend a hand to others that find themselves in desperate times. I can’t imagine not having a family to turn to, we are lucky in the fact that we still have a fairly large family that are still living pretty close to each other. These days large families are a thing of the past and most families are fanning out all across the world which is just a sign of the times I imagine.
I have to say that this is not something that I would normally post here on my blog. Butwhat the heck, it was just too good to keep to myself.
After a two year loan to the United States, Michelangelo’s David is finally returning back home to Italy.
This morning at 8:30 my phone rang and it was a gentleman asking to speak to me from the Democratic Party, and after being up most of the night tossing and turning because of my tooth extraction that took place yesterday, I was not in the mood for conversation, especially from an unsolicited caller.
I wish I new of a way to put my name and number on a Do Not Call list for these politicians, for I would sign up immediately. Don’t call us, we will call you, comes to mind. To think that I will have to put up with this type of nonsense for 5 more months, ugh.
