Here’s a whole bunch of fun games for you to play – all you need to have is the NAME OF THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA STRAIN, and you can have tons of fun with these variations:
Month: August 2011
Bozo the Clown Bop Bag Inflatable Punching Toy
Fight Club exists in the real world, China specifically.
RISING SUN ANGER RELEASE BAR was created to provide a place for customers to vent their frustrations.
If there’s one piece of advice that Web Watch is always trying to give to our younger acquaintances, it’s that it’s always better in the long run to save as much money as you can for the future. A while back, we recommended to try to have $10000 in the bank by the time you’re 30 years old, and that’s still a good rule of thumb to live by (call it your “emergency fund”, it still represents about 3-to-6 months take home pay for the average young adult that financial experts recommend keeping available for emergency purposes).
And Krystal felt the same way when she found herself a 20-something with over $20,000 in debt that she decided she wanted to get rid of. It was an albatross keeping her from future successes.
When we last visited this topic a few years ago, Web Watch proclaimed that AUGUST 23rd was National Go Topless Day.
Apparently, Aug 23 is merely a suggestion. This year’s National Go Topless Day is August 21st.
Web Watch has worked in New York City. We’ve fought the crowds there, and frankly — rush hour there is absolutely everything you think it would be.
It’s crowded, it’s smelly – and the successful NYC commuters all have this “look”. The “don’t talk to me, don’t look at me, I’m not looking at you, get out of my way” look. Nobody is stopping to smell the roses or window shop or take a look around them at what some call the Most Amazing City In The World.
Nope, they’re too busy making sure that they don’t run into those tourists who wander New York City with their mouths agape, staring up at the tall buildings while they fumble their Kodak Instamatic disposable camera from their safe-and-secure fanny pack.
Nextville: Amazing Places to Live Your Life
Web Watch has lived in a number of places around the country, and visited dozens of other cities as well.
When we travel, we often ask ourselves the same question — when it comes time to retire, would this make a good place to live?
Or, more specifically – if our jobs allowed us to relocate anywhere in the country to work, where would be a good place to move to?
Well, MONEY magazine has compiled the TOP 100 BEST SMALL TOWNS TO LIVE IN AMERICA. These are all towns of less than 50,000 population. Here were the top ten:
$25 iTunes Gift Card
Web Watch went to a charity auction a few years ago and won a silent auction for a handful of restaurant gift cards, for restaurants that we would actually go to.
We used three of the four cards, which more than made up for the overall cost paid at the auction. Yet we have one card left that we just haven’t gotten around to using.
And this week we found out that the restaurant it was for just closed. We know we could travel around the country and use the gift card at one of their other locations, but we really doubt we’ll be visiting one of those cities anytime soon. Just saying.
Career Essentials: The Cover Letter
A while back, Web Watch covered 10 WORDS NOT TO USE ON YOUR RESUME.
We figured it was time to also provide job-seekers 10 THINGS NOT TO INCLUDE ON YOUR COVER LETTER, especially after one recent interview session that Web Watch had to sit through recently.
Granted, the issue we had was with the resume itself rather than with the cover letter, but hey – it’s all in the name of a good story, isn’t it?
The candidate presented a resume that showed appropriate skills the job required – no issue there. But they decided to include a list of previous job experience that had absolutely no bearing on the job they were interviewing for.
Seriously, why would they include that they trained runway models how to model fashions if the job they were applying for had absolutely no relationship to the fashion industry? C’mon people – after you reach a certain age and success level in your career path, it’s time to exclude your GPA and college experiences from your resume. Nobody cares that the potential Vice President of Sales and Marketing spent their summer as a part-time employee at The Gap 25 years ago. Show us what you did last month, or the last five years.
