For the past several weeks I’ve noticed that most of the Facebook discussions between my “friends” are spirited disagreements about politics. With almost an entire year to go before the election, I have to say that I’m already growing weary of all of the lies and mudslinging that is going on. I find myself wondering if my friends will still be friends by the time the presidential election is over.

I just got a new job and moved to Arizona. I am really excited about living here. I think it is going to be an adventure. I do not know anything about this state and I do not have any family or friend nearby. I am going to have to do a lot of exploring as I start my new life here. I was able to go ahead a buy a house that is very convenient to my work and all of the big restaurants and stores. Since I do not know anyone around and I am not familiar with the area, I think I am going to have a security system installed. I would just feel safer with a security system and I know that my family would feel better about me living by myself in another state if I had a security system in my house. I googled “glendale home security” and found a company that was affordable and they said they could install the system within a few days. Now that I have that taken care of, I can move on to more important things, such as finding the best restaurants in town and the nearest mall.
One of the greatest things about the Internet is the way that the Internet has opened up a world of education and opportunity to anyone that can get an Internet connection. Beverly was telling me that she found a company that has an Internet web page that offers training and preparation for the gp exam that she has been so worried about.
The web page has a step-by-step explanation of the entire process, starting with the gp recruitment and including the gp application. The website even has the preparation for the written and simulation for the gpst stage 3 processing. Sounds to me as if Beverly has found a great resource to help her get her ducks in a row! Isn’t technology wonderful!
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been finding some work at home opportunities that are worth considering. In the past, the only work at home opportunities I even ever heard of was the dreaded “stuff envelopes” scam. Now I’m finding some that sound like they are legitimate – doing research at home, and providing technical support at home. Both of those jobs require some computer literacy (which I think I have) and they sound as if they are jobs that I could do. The only drawback that I can see is that they are low paying independent contractor jobs. That means that I’ll get paid even less money because I have to pay the self-employment taxes on the money that I would earn. So I’m not sure if I even want to bother with it, because the pay is so low. Something that I have to think about, that is for sure.
Let’s face it we can not always plan the way things are going to happen. I don’t care if you were a Boy Scout, you can’t always be prepared for what life throws at you, no matter how hard you try. You see my sister is a “planner” where I am the type that takes one day at a time, just trying to get through the day. I don’t think that there is a right or wrong way, just different strokes for different folks.
My sister just received news that her mother-in-law’s health is failing and that she may not have a lot of time left on this world, so she is trying desperately to find last minute flights that she can afford. As we all know isn’t always an easy task to find cheap flights on short notice. At least finding last minute hotels isn’t as big of deal, although advance notice is best all the way around. Thank goodness for the Internet, which has been very helpful during this stressful time for her and her hubby in her search for last minute accommodation needs.
