Beyond Business Casual:
What To Wear To Work If You Want To Get Ahead
As we head into a new year, you may have on your list of New Year’s Resolutions to “get promoted at work”.
While working hard and getting recognized for the job that you do while at the office is only part of the way to advance your career – you may want to take a look at some of the esoteric things.
Apparently, according to CareerBuilder:
Why Popcorn Costs so Much at the Movies
If you love going to the movies as much as Web Watch does, you’d be seeing at least two movies a week, every week for a year.
Granted not every film you see is going to be good. And not all will be in genres that you always enjoy.
But you’ll definitely see all the great films, all the funny films, and all the films that people will be talking about the next day if you take the time to go to the theater regularly.
But not everyone can afford to spend $12 per movie ticket these days. Seeing 2 films a week for 52 weeks can add up to over $1200/year… and that’s not counting parking, popcorn, sodas, snacks you sneak into the theater, beer (purchased at the fancy theaters that have a liquor license)… and you can count on doubling that if you go with a date.
$2400 a year, just to sit in the cool air-conditioned comfort of a big screen theatrical event with someone special a few times a week, every week of the year.
Angela Newman is a woman on a mission.
Much like the heralded Sara Blakely who created Spanx because she was looking for underwear and nylons that served a specific purpose (footless pantyhose, and super-supportive Spandex), Angela had an underwear problem that she wanted to solve.
Who doesn’t like a little sour candy once in a while?
We know one person who absolutely hates and loves all types of sour candies: your local dentist. They love the candy because candy of all sorts eventually leads to cavities and more patients. They hate the sour candies because of what they do to tooth enamel, simply as a matter of the high levels of acidity required to give you that mouth-puckering sour taste.
Web Watch has a friend who regularly jokes that he has a lack of adequate tooth enamel because of something his mother did (or didn’t do) while he was growing in the womb. While there might be some truth to that, he should also take into account the types of candy that he chooses to eat.
So the other day, Web Watch was flipping through one of our myriad of magazine subscriptions when one of those annoying response card things fell into our lap.
But before we could toss it away as we do all the others, we noticed there was something different about it. This one had gift card attached to it.
A $500 gift card.
“Whoa,” we said. What did we do to deserve this, other than subscribe to a magazine or two?
Do you know what’s in YOUR jar of honey that’s in your pantry?
Chances are, you just went to the store and purchased whatever honey was on the shelf and brought it home, without bothering to worry about what is actually in that cute plastic bear squeeze bottle.
And since honey is one food that doesn’t spoil, chances are that you’ve had that same jar of honey for a few years — and doesn’t it look just as crystal clear now as it did when you first purchased it?
Starting an iPhone Application Business For Dummies
With all the talk these days of mobile devices and people making millions of dollars by selling apps like ANGRY BIRDS (just a reminder, iPhone app developers aren’t making that much money), the question keeps coming up about whether you should be making an iPhone app or not?
