Whoa. You get so much stuff they actually put a box on your front law? Hell when I was getting $20k/week delivered to my house they wouldn't do that. And that's more than most companies get around here delivered to their dump box.
Apparently my/smart-aleck button was broken. I was talking about the mailbox. Oops.
If only there were some sort of box in front of my house, maybe with a lock on it, that a delivery could be made to... oh, wait. How about we just work on inter-company cooperation between the USPS and UPS/Fedex/Etc?
I work in the service industry - which I enjoy - but there are no sick days for the people who bag your groceries or new shoes. If we want our paltry pay, we drag our sick selves to work and try not to sneeze too much on your produce. "Stay home," they say. I wish!
For the ultimate in both Breast Cancer awareness and just plain old awareness of breasts, be sure to visit this Fifth Annual Boobiethon (http://boobiethon.com/) - women baring their breasts for cancer awareness... not to be missed! You can say you helped out the fight against cancer when you donate to see all the wonderful boobies!:)
I work for a major retailer, and our boss cautioned us that morning, before the doors opened to the customers: if we didn't sell additional items with the "doorbusters" -- those incredible discounts -- then we wouldn't make any money.
That's the truth in retail, anyway. Often things are sold at deep discounts, knowing the add-on sales will bring in the bucks. That cheap digital camera? Let me sell you some batteries and photo paper and an additional memory card. A free-after-rebate printer? Cable and ink and paper.
This is true, for retailers like mine, ESPECIALLY on a day like black Friday. We wouldn't have gotten our bonuses if we hadn't gotten those attachments... and people are going to need them anyway, aren't they?
(for the record: I would never suggestion an add-on sale that was pointless, or continue to push if the customer said no)
"Ok, sure. We've all got our little preconceived notions about what librarians are and what they do. Many people think of them as diminutive civil servants, scuttling about "Sssh-ing" people and stamping things. Well, think again buster.
Librarians have degrees. They go to graduate school for Information Science and become masters of data systems and human/computer interaction. Librarians can catalog anything from an onion to a dog's ear. They could catalog you. Librarians wield unfathomable power. With a flip of the wrist they can hide your dissertation behind piles of old Field and Stream magazines. They can find data for your term paper that you never knew existed. They may even point you toward new and appropriate subject headings.
People become librarians because they know too much. Their knowledge extends beyond mere categories. They cannot be confined to disciplines. Librarians are all-knowing and all-seeing. They bring order to chaos. They bring wisdom and culture to the masses. They preserve every aspect of human knowledge. Librarians rule. And they will kick the crap out of anyone who says otherwise."
I, too, am a bisexual girl gamer, and have little tolerance for fluffy girl crap when it comes to games. I personally want to be thought of as one of the guys when I play.
There can't be many people doing anything with them... I work for a major office supply/electronics superstore, and we clearance those things (both the original and the extreme) down to amazing bargains, and they still didn't sell. I think we finally wrote them off as lost causes. No one knew what they were.
I thought they were to expensive for something aimed at young teens, and that may have had a reason for why they never took off...
Blame it on the people who are toilet-training(http://www.karawynn.net/mishacat/t oilet.shtml) their cats.
But just think! We may have saved the world from a hostile otter takeover!
I've used Object Desktop for the past year, and I really like it... They continually update their product: that $50 is a year's subscription to every update for every product, including anything new that they might release during the year. Future subscriptions are cheaper, too! Most of the programs are very careful of the system resources they use, and offer seemingly endless customization. There's also a well-established skinning community creating variations on everything to make OD that much more useful. I'd say try it out... there are shareware versions of all the popular programs, including Windowblinds and DesktopX.
I've rung in the new year (at home) and now it's off to work. I sell electronics in a well-known US office supply/electronics store. So if you need staples, printer ink, or a new chair for your computer, we'll be here. All day. Of course, no one in their right mind goes shopping for office supplies on a holiday, so we'll be here all alone.
It's not just personals, it's pen pals. I had the honor of being the first member of the female persuasion... It's a fabulous thing, created by die-hard "Ufies" (that's fans of User Friendly) Arcatex and Iambe. Wonderful folk. Wonderful site. Have I used enough sappy adjectives yet? It's cool. Check it out, it's free, you're not out anything...

It sounds great. Am I an alarmist if I say this scares me a little, too?
