Gainfully employed at last! 8/19/2003

Filed under: General — jodi @ 9:00 pm

It’s true, folks. I’m finally employed again. This time much more happily than last time, which ended abruptly just one day shy of benefits eligibility.

I am now employed by ISEC, Inc. where they are treating me decently, paying me adequately, giving me generous benefits with a short eligibility period, and to which my commute is less than 4 miles!

It was a long wait and I’ll not pretend I was patient. Patience is a virtue I was not naturally blessed with! Still, I must have some persistence in me, though, since all the job-seeking efforts have finally paid off.

Financial stability? What’s that? Dare I dream that we might know it again?!

Go God!

 
 

Serve up the popcorn and milk duds! 8/13/2003

This California gubernatorial recall situation is quite a mess, but an entertaining one at that!

Arnold, Gary Coleman, Larry Flynt and some 200 or so others, not to mention the current Governor Gray Davis who was actually elected to office some 9 months ago.

Crazy, but way more interesting to follow than the other depressing news out there. Pass the popcorn!

 
 

Another reason to avoid Coke and Pepsi products 8/11/2003

Geez, I knew they were bad for me but I had no idea the kind of dangerous crap that is allowed to be included in Coke and Pepsi products.

Here is a quote from this BBC article:

Both firms {Coca Cola and Pepsi} strenuously deny that their products contain more than the prescribed limit of pesticides.

“…the prescribed limit of pesticides”?!? Why must they include ANY amount of pesticides in soda? What gives?

 
 

Inventive?, Fun?…or is it just plain weird? 8/10/2003

I just read about Flash Mobs and must admit that it almost sounds fun. Anyone witnessed one of these? or perhaps participated in one? If so, please speak up, as I’d love a first-hand account.
