Working hard
Thursday, February 11th, 2010 | Author:

One thing that has been on my mind lately is a test I have to take for work. I have been studying every night for about an hour in hopes of passing the test. I have only another week to study and so I cannot put it off any longer. I must say that it has become a bit of a strain and my nerves are getting raw! I’ll sure be glad when the test is over and I can finally relax.

The Aftermath
Sunday, December 13th, 2009 | Author:

Since the Tiger woods story is all over the news, we all knew that there would be repercussions for him. As bad as all the negative media was for his image, now the financial disaster is beginning. The first sponsor to drop Tiger from its rolls is Accenture Ltd. The have stated that he is no longer a person that they wish to represent them. So far, there has been no comment from Tiger on the situation though it is natural that he would be disappointed.

Taking Advantage
Thursday, September 03rd, 2009 | Author:

I had a birthday recently and a friend of mine from work sent me an e-mail. Now I know it was nice of her to do so, but I always think it’s a little lazy to just send an e-mail. Whenever I want to recognize an important event, I always go the extra mile and send a card or letter which is a little more personal.

I was glad when I found a site called 123print.co.uk that has a wide selection of postcards to choose from. They are experts at postcard printing and you are able to customize whatever you order. The price is more than reasonable and the quality of the cards is excellent. I wish that everyone could take advantage of what this site has to offer.

Saving some Time
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009 | Author:

Every month, I pay a lot of bills. It usually takes me three or four hours to get everything together and write the checks. Then I have to address all the envelopes and fill them out. I set my mind towards finding a way to shorten this process and found one easy solution. I went online and found a cool site called 123print.com. That’s where I purchased some address labels that were really nice.

Now when I pay my bills, I spend a lot less time doing so. Instead of getting a cramped hand writing my address over and over, I just stick my labels on the envelope and go. Since I was on the site anyway, I checked out some of the many other items they had as well. I think I’ll return to this site soon!

Helping the bottom line
Saturday, August 01st, 2009 | Author:

Things around our office have been tight for quite some time. Since the economy is failing, we’ve had to cut corners wherever possible. We asked our employees to come up with their best ideas for saving money. One of the best ideas was to switch to using Compact fluorescent bulbs in order to use less electricity. This will help save us some money as well.

There are other benefits to switching out our old bulbs. By using the more efficient bulbs, we will help our earth by using less energy. I am always glad to find situations that are win\win. This is one of those times. I’m glad I have such intelligent people working for me.
