Why do they need this sign? Someone please explain this to me!

I think the Geico Caveman commercials are hilarious and a pure stroke of genius. I found a link that plays off the caveman scenario. You enter the interactive site and click on things around the room and get ready to be amazed at the detail and humor! check out the Caveman’s Crib.

Taking it one step further, author Steve Graham wrote a book, “Keep Chewing Until It Stops Kicking - Finding Your Inner Caveman” and it’s available at Amazon.

There are sites with news and there are sites with opinions. The best of both worlds is very likely, The Huffington Post.

I don’t read this every day but I do read it once in a while. They find the scoop on what’s breaking news and put their own little twist on it. But I must say that they have all the news in one place and some news that I don’t find any place else. I especially like the politics category, but that’s what i read to stay informed, I don’t usually agree with their points of view.

A good friend turned me onto a Coby stick MP3 player. There are a handful of models by Coby, but I wanted to get one with radio, so I selected the Coby MPC-885.

It is small and lightweight, holds up to 1 Gigabyte of music, doesn’t need any cable to plug into my computer, and runs on a single AAA battery. All for around $20. Really puts the iPod to shame if you are looking for these features and don’t need the status of a large expensive iPod to show off to your friends.

Every week I take a stack of paperwork to the local Kinkos and use their big counter top to sort them into 5 groups and then make photocopies on their self service copiers. For the most part, the copiers are fast and a reasonable price at 8 cents per copy, plus tax. All that is great, because they are just down the street and I don’t know anyplace else within a 10 minute drive of my house where I can do this weekly chore.

But it’s hard on my nerves to be working on the papers and trying to sort through them, match them up, etc. with the employees behind the counter laughing loudly and yelling across the room to each other. I really don’t want to hear about the last 4 albums that the freak downloaded for free. I don’t want to hear about all their favorite pizza toppings while they try to decide where they will order out for lunch. I REALLY don’t want to hear about they girl with a pierced tongue just kicked her boyfriend to the curb when she found him kissing another girl in the parking lot of their apartments.

I suppose until they install a soundproof glass barrier between the copier section and the work area behind the counter, I’ll start carrying an MP3 player with me so at least i have SOME influence on what I will be listening to while I work.
