In the beginning, finding companies and positions to apply for was a challenge. I don't see many undiscovered companies anymore. The number of positions hasn't decreased, in fact, it has increased. The unfortunate issue is that you never know if the companies have processed your applications. They move so slowly...
To switch to some topics that are more upbeat; I am really looking forward to the Olympics starting very soon. The competitions, the historical story-lines, the whole package. There has been so much publicity about security at Sochi that one begins to wonder if the success of the terrorists is the terror that is created by the fright generated by all the publicity, rather than an actual event. Of course, they can't take the chance that it is a hoax. I guess only time will tell.
Isn't it amazing how much bad publicity that can be generated for every possible presidential candidate? Whether the accusations are real or not isn't the issue. It is the so-called bad press that the candidate receives. Perception is so much of what the public remembers.
For those of you that were REALLY turned of by the bad conducts of the American Idol judges last year, let me say that that appears to be quite over. I said I'd never watch it again unless JLO comes back. Well she did, and this year so far has such a different feel than last year. These judges are having fun and they are ADULT!
Well, to add insult to injury, my computer recently went belly-up, bigtime- unrepairable. Lucky for me I have an cloud service that backs up all my files. The only task worse than buying a car is buying a computer. What I have just looked at in the store- without even buying one, is already way out of date. It is very difficult to honestly believe that you are getting what you want, for what you want to pay for it- AND that it will still be usable in at least a year!
I am putting this post together on a borrowed computer, so hopefully, my next post will be on the new one...
Expensive Operation
A woman was having a medical problem - her husband's snoring. So she called the doctor one morning and asked him if there was anything he could do to relieve her "suffering."
"Well, there is one operation I can perform that will cure your husband, but it is really rather expensive. It will cost $1000 down and payments of $450 for 24 months, plus payments for extras."
"My goodness!" the woman exclaimed, "it sounds like leasing a new sports car!"
"Humm," the doctor murmured, "too obvious, huh?"
