I was absolutely thrilled to hear I had been hired earlier, especially since I had come to believe that it was all but certain I wasn’t getting the job. But now I find myself grumbling a bit. Why? Well you see, this job requires that I wear business casual attire to work. I should have [...]

Argh! What is it with stores not wanting to honor coupons anymore? It seems like the only place I can use coupons anymore is at Albertson’s and Wal-Mart, mostly Albertson’s though. And when it comes to grocery shopping I really don’t shop at Albertson’s unless there was some kind of awesome sale. They’re just so [...]

Just got home a little while ago, and let me tell you, boy am I glad to be home. People are crazy on the roads, that’s a given, but it’s always worse when it’s raining. It’s like all common sense they might have possessed is washed away with the rain. Not to mention the scaredy-cat [...]

Yare, yare. The day has hardly begun and I’m exhausted and ready to crawl back into bed and catch a few winks. My grandfather, unfortunately, suffers from arthritis and it has a bad habit of acting up when he least expects it. So I got called over to help load the truck with the barrels [...]

I was lucky to receive a free package of DenTek Fun Flossers to sample for review, which I was quite happy to do. Now, I must confess, I was initially leery of trying them, mainly because I’ve always found the disposable floss wands to look kind of “funny” and awkward. However, there is no denying [...]

As you may recall me mentioning awhile back [Twitter] my old tea kettle was laid to rest and I was left hunting for a replacement. Yes, I’ve been searching for a new one for roughly two weeks now. Insane, isn’t it? I checked Wal-Mart’s online website and found that they carry a good selection of [...]

I finally got around to visiting The Outlet Shoppes at El Paso today. You know, that building I drove by every day to work and for the longest time I didn’t know what it was? Couldn’t have picked a worse day actually. You see, the outlet mall is sadly an outdoor mall. So in order [...]

I get a lot of different emails advertising various auction, wholesale, and resale places. In fact, my gmail and one of my hotmail accounts get so much of it that I seriously have to wonder how I got on some of these lists. Ironically, the other day I saw an email for Bidz.com nestled next [...]

So…just how long can a business hold a “going out of business” sale before it becomes ridiculous? Ever since I started working at DialAmerica I’ve seen these dudes holding signs advertising a furniture store that is going out of business standing at the intersections and the streets connecting to the freeway entrances and exits. I [...]

I got to pick up Pyro today. My car was actually ready yesterday evening, but since I was alaready at work, I picked it up today. Turns out that the reason Pyro wasn’t starting is because there was a short. The short was connected to the fuse and the car’s dome light. Basically, even when [...]
