In Memory

I am posting this blog in remembrance of a life lost too soon. Today, my office learned that the stepson of one of our close co-workers was killed in an auto accident this morning. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Veterans Day

Today, tomorrow...and every day- may we remember and honor all who have served. The many brave men and women as well as their families and friends.

Ah...corporate downsizing

So, have you heard about the rising unemployment rates all over the country? Well, as of Dec 31, 2008- I will join the ranks of the unemployed thanks to corporate downsizing. That is, of course, if I cannot find a suitable job prior to that date. Not exactly the best time to be on the job market- just take a peek at the daily news if you doubt me. Alas, I am not looking at this as a reason to be depressed.Rather, I am looking at it as an opportunity for growth and change. I have been with my current company for 8 years, and it will be an odd feeling to not report to this office. But, I feel confident that a bright horizon is ahead. I have dusted off my resume and am in the process of updating and polishing. I shall keep my chin up and march forward and not look back....

Lost in laptop Land

Ever wonder why it seems so difficult to decide on a laptop? I guess for those who are tech-savy, it poses no real challenge. However, for those of us who sometimes get lost somewhere between the MB and Gig....it can seem like a daunting task. I feel like I am in some weird cyberspace drive-through. Multiple choices and selections - so many different options...I am just waiting to hear a booming robotic voice say "Would you like fries with that?"

CPR with 'Stayin' Alive'

Well, it seems that the Bee Gees may have been onto something. A study has found that their hit, 'Stayin' Alive', has a beat that is in sync with the recommended pace for chest compressions when performing CPR.

Rumors have suggested that the song 'Another One Bites the Dust', by Queen, has a similar beat- but lacks the appropriate positive message of *saving a life*

Just another reason to embrace music...and besides- who hasn't ever had the Bee Gees song stuck in their head for hours? I bet you are hearing it right now as you read this...

Happy

Thanks to some encouraging words, I am no longer feeling a sad state in regards to my blogging. I shall trudge forward with renewed faith in my blogging ability to entertain. Thanks to all! Blog on!

Sad?

So...is it a sad state of affairs when you don't have a wide range of blog topics? Or only one follower? I hope not- I am just going to chalk it up to my inexperience as a blogger and stay hopeful that I will soon come into my own. And join the ranks of awesome bloggers throughout the world....

At least I have one faithful follower...
