Applications

I am amazed at all the paperwork there is for applying for a teaching job. Someone needs to tell the paperwork that it needs some Phentermine to thin out the paperwork.

First, the cover letter.
Then the resume
Then a four to eight page application.
This is followed by four pages of transcripts.
Lastly, there are three pages of reference letters.

That is a clear dozen.

These people want tons of references. One school wanted a total of about 12 references. Three in the files. Three letters of different people. Three to five more on the application. Still rather amazing.

Movement

Since I may be moving soon, I always wonder where I may be going and end up. There are many places in the country to go and many places seem real nice. I wonder how many odd places I am going to be looking at. The ladder rack will be helpful for the move.

I really like the mountains and miss the hills. Of course I also miss the beach.

Paw Prints

With a new dog in the house there are many things to deal with. Like, is bowser allowed in my office. I think not. The dog does like the sectional sofas in the house. However, I really need to keep this dog off the them. This way they will not be ruined. As if the furniture from the early Eisenhower period will be damaged.

The dog likes to go outside. Recently it has been raining. I knew there was a good reason why we had a white floor. This way the doggie prints can show up so nice and well. Doggie rant now over.

global warming and bad movies

I keep thinking with all the hype of global warming (which is really tyranny against the poorest countries) and wonder if it could happen, what would be the results?

I always think about that dumb movie, Water World. Think of all the junk that you would need . . . seeds, plants, dirt, Portable Water Filters, and weapons. Of course there would be very limited amount of gas. Which was the real question in that dumb movie . . . where did gas come from?

So if the global heaters are correct then you better have a boat.

Finding A Good Movie

I think I have found that when trying to search for a movie to attend I am better off throwing a dart at the newspaper and go to that movie. Imagine what would happen if you were after something really important?

You are looking for a healthy Diet Review and there you have 20 people saying this is good another 30 saying this is not good. Imagine the confusion.

I would love to see this same approach to white bread in the grocery store. I would love the reviews for that.
"extra white and chewy bread"
"bread . . . really . . . good"
"bread is always stale"
"two wheat stalks up"

Well so much for a random thought.

A New Puppy

As you may know we have a new puppy. As we went through a new big pet store in town we found something a little odd. In the middle of the pet store, there was a stroller for dogs and small animals, like rabbits Why not just buy some kids furniture I am sure the pet will find it more conferrable.

Well in any case I am thinking that maybe the puppy needs something more then a box. Have a happy day.

Dog Parts.

I am amazed at how much money it takes for a new puppy. My Budgeting software is having some fits. Money for bowls. Then the dog food. A separate bowl for water. A nice little toy. Somewhere to sleep. Something to sleep on. I am sure my wife is going to want to have sweater. Now she wants a purse to carry the dog in. This way she can carry the dog anywhere.

So if anyone wants to donate money to help with the new puppy . . . let me know.

Still another grrrrr

I cannot believe it! I was driving through a rural part of the state. Two lanes all the way. I saw a state trooper who was making a turn behind me. So what did I do? Uhm . . . drove the speed limit For thirty five miles this cop followed me. Up hills and down hills. Increase speed and reduce speed . . . for 35 miles. I normally make a turn or pull over to the side of the road and let cops pass because I do not like them behind me.

So after 35 miles . . . he pulls me over because I did not use my turn signal. Not one time did he turn on his radar. I have the trooper snooper in my car and he did not turn it on. Obviously they need to install some sleeper sofas into cop cars so they can use the time better. Grrrrrr.

Holding the Bag

The people of America are getting really upset with the war. I was in a store today in middle America. Guys who were for the war are getting real upset. This town is mostly Republican in nature.

The complaints centered around the money spent in Iraq. Should there be complaints? I think so. We have a national debt that must be paid. The baby boomers have run up the tab and now they want the cake back after eating. With the social security crisis looming in front of us, my generation will be left holding the Coaster Furniture. Stop spending money on Iraq.

Princess Bride

So I was talking with a friend about a favorite type of food. The big issue was how to lose weight and eat yummy food. He suggested iocane. So I thought maybe it would be a good idea.

I started talking to a larger group and asked them about iocane and there was a lot of laughter. I tried to ignore it, then I asked again about iocane powder. Well it turns out I wanted ionamin not iocane. Iocane is the mythical substance from the Princess Bride movie which is a poison. Oops. Time to start again.

The Budget Must Be Reduced

The more I am thinking about government the more I am convinced it must go on a budget diet. The more money that is printed the less it is worth. George can keep spending, however unless it stops going out we will be in more trouble then we can imagine. Imagine that if the government really went on a diet of spending.

Remember a diet is not maintain equilibrium and stay the same weight the goal is to lose. In other words stop spending so much money. For extra help, he can grope some Diet Pills and lose even more spending.

The left over money MUST go back to pay down the federal debt. Yes I would like the money as much as the next person, however, the federal will kill us if we do not lose this extra weight.
