Spotty Connection

Thanks to Erasmo Cortez

The Wireless Internet service at my job is so ridiculous. I don’t know why it never works properly, but it is always throwing a wrench in my day. Some days it just works really slow, and other days it is spotty and doesn’t work at all at certain times. It is really important that I have a working internet connection for work because I do a lot of research, and I have to keep in touch with my clients. Most of the research tools I use are online, so when the internet connection isn’t working I can’t get anything done. It is also hard to keep up with client emails and sometimes they get annoyed. I tried to talk to my boss about changing companies to something more reliable, but he says he is stuck in a long-term contract. I get so angry when I think about paying all this money to a company that doesn’t provide good service. Some of them really get you with these contracts. My boss said he would call them and complain about the service, so I can only help something gets better.

Still Undecided…

Now that things are coming to and end at my current job, I’m trying to think of what else I would like to do with my life. If I decide on a new career, I’m still young enough to go back to school for something different. The only problem is I have no idea what I want to spend the rest of my life doing. Actually, I do. But those two jobs are more volunteer than anything. And although I love them and they make me happy, they don’t pay the bills. =/

I wouldn’t mind doing something in the medical field, perhaps even Recreational Therapist Jobs. I love helping people and I’m usually very patient and encouraging. I think that’s what important if you work in the medical field. No one wants to deal with rude and impatient people when they are sick or injured.

Who Reads The Newspaper These Days?

Thanks for the post from Sylvester Campbell

I sometimes wonder what the most common way to access the news is these days. I know that most people probably watch television in the morning or at night when they get home to catch their news but do people still sit around the breakfast table in the morning with their coffee and toast and read the paper? I can’t tell you the last time I actually read a newspaper. It don’t think that it is people care less about what is going on in the world around them so much as it is people are wanting to access their news in a different way. For me I use http://get.wildblue.com/ to read the news I care about. I can go online to my local news provider and they have a website with all the day’s local news, from the cow that got out onto the highway and caused a three car pileup to the bad weather that is coming our way from the next state over. I can also check other things like the weather or local government issues.

Harder Than It Should Be…

I’m really beginning to see why people always so you should never work with family and friends. Or maybe they say you should never loan money to family and friends? I don’t know the exact saying, but I do know you should never mix business and family. Just ask commercial litigation lawyer Raleigh NC!! But I’ve learned that the hard way just by building websites with my mom and best friend. It’s hard working with people who don’t understand a lot about web design.

My best friend has these completely ridiculous expectations. He wants these to blink and light up and run across the screen, but he wants all that down with simple HTML and PHP! Yeah, right! And my mom is so overly sensitive about everything. She looks like she wants to cry at every turn. LOL. I don’t think I’ll ever want to do web design as a career.
