So now i have this new computer. the girls have the laptop back but that's not going to satisfy one of them. Now my wife wants a computer of her own, as she refuses to touch this one or allow the daughter to touch it either. They want to ensure that if this one breaks the fault will be mine and mine alone. How silly lol
So, I know that I can get her a computer just like this one for around $120, same as this one cost. But, I need a monitor as well. So I spent some serious time last night looking at monitors on Ebay. Oh, my, they can be costly. Yikes! I did find one that is around thirty dollars. it's used but should do the job.
So, I sat here late trying to figure it all out and I think I can manage it. I have enough in PayPal to cover the computer. I will need to get a gift card/pre-paid credit card for the monitor. That will pretty much wipe out my PayPal account and my wallet at the same time but I think it is doable. And, I'm certain it will make my wife happy and that's all that counts :)

Management Jobs
So, you are one of the lucky ones, you have a job to go to every day and get that paycheck to bring home where you sit and try to find a way to pay all your bills and still have some money left over. You wish you had more money left over so that you could actually have some sort of life, but you don't see that happening.
You do your job every day and perhaps take a moment or two to fantasize about how much better Life could be if you just could move up into management but you know your boss doesn't seem to be leaving any time soon. For you, the glass is half empty.
Well, lose that pessimistic attitude and realize that the glass is actually half full. There are management jobs out there, you just have to look for them! Many companies these days prefer to hire managers from outside their comapny rather than promote from within. You may not move up to management in your company but what about another company instead? Take a chance at a better life, you owe it to yourself.

Too Hot
My new computer is working great and I am happy with it. So much faster again than using that old laptop :)
The problem is that it is hot. It's around 110 degrees here and everything in the house is hot too. But the computer seems to be running hot as well and that can't be too good for it. I have a small fan running and aimed directly at the computer to help cool it off. I also set the computer on its side and am hoping that will help some too.
They need to make a computer that is rough and tough enough for the heat of the desert with extra fans inside of it and perhaps an exhaust fan or two to draw the heat away from the circuit boards and outside the computer.
But, in spite of the heat I am a happy camper computer-wise again :)

Higher Is Better
Almost everyone these days has cable. But not everyone. Some folks still use antennas for television and stereo radio reception. I, myself do not use cable for FM radio reception as I can get it free with an antenna. Why pay?
Televisions are little different though. You can still receive television programs with an antenna despite what the cable and satellite companies will say. Of course, they want to sell you their service. Whether you have an older model television or a new lcd tv reception is the same problem. If you use a television antenna you will want it to be as high up in the air as possible to improve your reception.
There still are a lot of tv antennas out there so how do you find the right one? You need someplace that has done a lot of antenna reviews so that you make the correct choice. You could spend hours doing it yourself, of course, but why waste all that time when someone else has done the work for you already?
Remember, if you are looking for an antenna for other types of radios, these reviews will also be of help to you. They also talk about masts so that you can stick your antenna higher in the air. When it comes to antennas, higher is better.

Apple IPhone4
If you are one of the millions that have kept up with the latest gadgets then you most likely have one of these Apple iPhones. At the rate Apple is going I fear that computers will soon become obsolete as their phones will do everything that a computer can do and do it on the go. Not sure what Apple will do with all their Macs but I am sure they'll figure out something.

A Better Day
I got a lot of sympathy from family and friends yesterday which helped ease the pain of my dog's passing. That was very nice :)
We buried him out underneath the tree where he had spent a lot of time in the past year and a half. Seemed like a great resting place.
During the night last night I did hear some strange moaning sounds from outside and immediately looked out the window before realizing that it could no longer be my Valentine. That made me sad.
Today has been much better, less emotional anyways. Maybe because my mind was diverted to other things like why the UPS company cannot find my house. The computer that should have been here yesterday still was not here this afternoon and the tracking page showed that it was back at the warehouse because my house is not a valid address. GRRR
I called the company and explained how to find it. Then the local company guy called me and I explained it all to him. Hopefully the new computer will be here tomorrow. If not I guess I'm going to have to bum a ride from someone and go over there and pick it up myself.

Get Educated
Getting a better job these days requires more than just perseverance. It also requires a better education. Long gone are the days when you could graduate from high school, get an Associates Degree from a local community college and find the career that would last you your entire working life. These days companies want the best and the brightest. But, just how do you get yourself into universities that seem to produce these best and brightest people?
If your Life choice is within the legal profession, the starting point for you is to take, and conquer, the LSAT. The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is an examination in the United States, Canada, and Australia administered by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) for prospective law school candidates. It is designed to assess logical and verbal reasoning skills.[1] Administered four times a year, it is a required exam for all ABA-approved law schools.
This is not a test you can just jump into after glancing at a few select questions. This is a test that requires a lot of serious study. The best way to prepare yourself for the LSAT is with lsat prep courses. Courses that are designed by experts in the field who can show you any areas of weakness that you may have and assist you to correct those weaknesses.
But, what if Law studies are not for you? Perhaps you'd like to go to college and learn something else. Still you will need to study for the college entrance exams in order to get yourself into the best school. Newton has that covered as well. They have courses designed to assist you with both the GMAT and the SAT exams.
So, don't just sit around and dream about a better job. Get ready to get yourself educated and find the career that you want.
