Here’s why nobody wants to look at your vacation photos

How to Take Great Vacation Photographs
How to Take Great Vacation Photographs

Web Watch, like many of you, loves to take vacation photos.  We all do it, in part, as a way to remember where we’ve been and seen, but also to capture those moments that we can later reflect upon as being relaxing, happy times with special someones.

Of course, as we review our own vacation photos, they mainly end up being about the food we ate rather than the places we went. C’est la vie.

Decorating the office with Post-It Notes

Post-it Notes
Post-it Notes

When non-destructive, office pranks can be fun.

Filling up somebody’s cubical or office with inflated balloons?  Fun.  Filling up somebody’s cubical or office with Silly String?  A little bit of a mess to clean-up, and usually left to the victim to do so on their own.

Web Watch has even covered an entire office’s items in tin foil and wrapping paper.  Definitely time-consuming and an absolute waste of money, but entertaining.   The best one we did was sheetrocking over the boss’s office door and painting the wall so it looked like the office was never there in the first place.  Oh, we’re still laughing about that one.

But sometimes it’s nice to include others in your office shenanigans.

Need to make some fast cash but don’t know what to do? Try some of these legitimate options

Make Money Fast! Drive Women Wild!: And Other Offers Too Good to Refuse from The Small Ads
Make Money Fast! Drive Women Wild!:
And Other Offers Too Good to Refuse from The Small Ads

One thing that successful people have going for them is that they’re always hustling, always striving to make that next dollar.

Or, when looked at from a more practical viewpoint: as Dave Ramsay often says, “you don’t have an debt problem, you have an income problem”. In other words, you can make ends meet – but you need to get off your fat butt and take on a second or third weekly paycheck in addition to your primary job.

Make your own Customized Crayola Crayon Box

Crayola Crayon 6464-crayon Crayolas

There is a hierarchy of crayons in school.

The average child starts out with the standard 8-color box of Crayola crayons.  Web Watch is quite fond of this one, as we never really got past the fact that there are different color Reds and Blues in today’s world. To us, it’s either “red” or “blue”, with none of those various shades.

As you got older, you would get the 16 or 24-count box of Crayolas.

Eventually, you’d be lucky enough to get the holy grail: the famed 64-count box of Crayola Crayons with the built-in sharpener in the box.

Eventually, even that was too boring, and Crayola came out with the 128-count box. Yeah, those kids were living the good life.  They may not have been able to draw worth a darn, but they had all the tools available if they tried.

Who doesn’t love to see how movie magic is made behind the scenes?

Web Watch has wandered a few movie and television sets of our own, and are constantly surprised at how simple and poorly-constructed some of the sets and facades are when seen in person and up-close.  They don’t call it “movie magic” for nothing.
