Every Friday between now and September 25th you can sign up for free chocolate from Mars (the maker of such goodies as Twix, Snickers and M&Ms to name a few ) by heading over to RealChocolate.com.  You’ll have to exchange some basic information about yourself in return for a coupon good towards a free chocolate candy.  Each week 250,000 coupons are handed out.  Coupons take about six weeks to arrive and you’re allowed one coupon per Friday up to a total of four coupons per household.

           

Cable news channels are an odd beast.  Pressured by the need to provide BREAKING NEWS NOW 24 hours a day, they resort to an overload of minutia everytime something potentially newsworthy is on the horizon.  Take the latest hurricane, Gustav.   For the last few days, it’s been on a seemingly unnerving “not again” path of destruction towards New Orleans.  Fortunately, it seems to have both diminished in fortitude and hit landfall away from the Big Easy.  What are the cable news networks to do?  CNN’s news anchors are all dressed up in those pretty bright red slickers.  All morning long the headlines have SCREAMED that the levees overtopped.  All morning long, the footage has focused on the Industrial Canal levee which, even by Soledad O’Brien’s description was that the “water was lapping over the levee”.  Hyperbole, much?

           

These little gems were taken from real resumes and cover letters:

4. “Wholly responsible for two (2) failed financial institutions.”
5. “Reason for leaving last job: maturity leave.”
6. “Failed bar exam with relatively high grades.”
7. “It’s best for employers that I not work with people.”
8. “Let’s meet, so you can ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ over my experience.”
9. “I was working for my mom until she decided to move.”
10. “Marital status: single. Unmarried. Unengaged. Uninvolved. No commitments.”
11. “I have an excellent track record, although I am not a horse.”
12. “I am loyal to my employer at all costs… Please feel free to respond to my resume on my office voice mail.”
13. “My goal is to be a meteorologist. But since I possess no training in Meteorology, I suppose I should try stock brokerage.”
14. “I procrastinate, especially when the task is unpleasant.”
15. “Personal interests: donating blood. Fourteen gallons so far.”
16. “Instrumental in ruining entire operation for a Midwest chainstore.”
17. “Note: Please don’t misconstrue my 14 jobs as ‘job-hopping’. I have never quit a job.”
18. “Marital status: often. Children: various.”
19. “The company made me a scapegoat, just like my three previous employers.”
20. “Finished eighth in class of ten.”
21. “References: none. I’ve left a path of destruction behind me.”

Here’s a way to test out your ability to tell the sex of a cat from the face.  Take the He-cat or She-cat quiz.  The page lists photos for you to select whether the cat is a male or a female.  If you need more mindless entertainment after the quiz, there’s an option to sign up for the site’s weekly Friday newsletter with more fun.

Here’s a clever way for bibliophiles to goof off at work without the boss noticing.  Read at Work is a web site that very cleverly disguises itself as a Windows desktop.  Books are housed in folders and organized by type.  You can choose from short stories, novels, and poetry and New Zealand authors.  Doubleclick a file within the folder and the text is contained within a powerpoint document.

Do you remember how it felt when you were a kid, skipping through life without a care in the world? Your biggest worry was should you watch Popeye or Bugs Bunny afterschool. When your parents took you to the candy store you became giddy and happy. Things seemed so simple, because you did not have all of that nervous energy also known as anxiety. Read more

           

At over $4.00 per gallon, every drop of fuel is precious, or so I thought until I see people leave their cars idling while they run back into their house to get something they forgot. I see people idling their cars to keep cool in the air conditioning while waiting for their spouse to come out of the store. I see cars idling waiting in line at McDonald’s, I see them idling waiting at the auto tellers and I see them idling waiting to pick up their kids from school.

Those people must not only have a lot of money to burn (pun intended) but they seem to have no regard for any type of conservation or any regard for the environment. There is no faster way to waste gas, money and clean air than idling your car. Read more

           

Air travel has become a norm nowadays especially for those involved in business and international trading. The needs to meet people from other parts of the world makes air travel a must. For a frequent flyer, there is nothing more satisfactory than getting a cheap airline ticket for their entire journey.

Unfortunately for us, the rising trend of people travelling by air gives an opportunity for airline companies to mark up the airline ticket price since they know people will buy it anyway. Fortunately though, the competition between airline companies forces certain companies to give out discounts on airline ticket price every now and then as a marketing strategy to attract customers.
