i think i will be going to Texas soon and i don't think i will like it. i expect to be back rather quickly.

First week of 09 is over at work. I am getting used to longer hours, but looking forward to 4 day work week as I will be Mon-Thur now with Fridays off!

Last night when my shift was over at the store, i grabbed a cart and went around picking up a few grocery items. After the cashier rang it all up i realized that i had left my wallet and all forms of $ at home, and had only 0.30 in my pocket. I felt very silly, and almost had to drive home to get $...

After watching the stock market crash last week we were told today that our company is changing the bank that oversees our 401K accounts and as a by-product of that transition all of our collective $$ were taken out of the...
