Still looking

I’m still looking for a job. It’s now been over 2 years since I worked and I’ve been looking for a job all this time. I do office work and can’t sit or stand for long periods of time so sales jobs are out of the question for me.

It gets very frustrating sending out resume after resume and not getting a call or going to an interview and not getting hired.

But on the upside my house is always nice an clean!

Scratched

I wish I could find a way to get rid of scratches on my prescription eyeglasses. I’ve had them for over 4 years and I need to go and get new ones. The problem is that I can’t afford new glasses right now.

My current glasses are scratched and I really don’t like them anymore. I want to get something different that flatters my face and will help me see better than what I can right now.

I would love to wear contacts but I can’t. I tried them and they were ok for a couple weeks then my eyes started getting dry and irritated so I had to stop wearing them. It’s a shame because I loved how I looked without glasses and I was able to wear sunglasses again.

I found a way

I asked in an earlier post about how to remove cat hair from my chair. I found out that by putting on a pair of rubber kitchen gloves and rubbing the chair with the gloves that the cat fur came right off.

I tried it with the glove damp and with them dry. It worked much better when they were dry. So I guess I found another tip to share with everyone.

Carpet spots

I live in a rented one bedroom condo. My daughter and grandson were living here until today. They moved to Pennsylvania with her fiancée. Having a baby living here resulted in a lot of spots on a light colored carpet. The carpet is fairly new and was just put in a few months before we moved in.

Last night Andi was changing Benton’s diaper and, for the heck of it, she took a clean baby wipe and rubbed at one of the spots on the carpet. We were all surprised when the spot came out. Who would have thought that baby wipes would remove spots from carpeting.

I went to the dollar store today and bought soft cloth baby wipes and got down on the floor and proceeded to clean up other spots on the carpeting. I just can’t believe how well it worked in removing those spots.

I’m definitely going to keep some baby wipes on hand to remove any other spots I see on this carpet.

Watch out

Today I was trying to find a work-at-home type of job. I was searching for those kinds of scams so I could avoid them. While searching I came across a site about lipozene scams.

I don’t know why people have to sell things and claim that they do this and that for you when they really don’t do a darn thing or do things that can harm your health.

Almost every work-at-home site I found is either not legitimate or an outright scam and totally illegal. I get at least 1 email a week offering me a job where I can make $80 to $100 thousand dollars a year just by checking my email 3 times a day and some other small stuff. That just screams scam.

Just a word of warning.. always Google the company and check to see if there are scam reports/reviews of them before accepting anything that you didn’t apply for or before applying for something like that.

Trash

I have some trash to take out to the dumpster. In our little community here we have trash dumpsters and attached recycling bins. We don’t pay for our trash pickup. It’s part of the landlord’s association fees. I don’t mind taking the trash down the street to the dumpster.

People aren’t supposed to put things like furniture, home speakers, TV’s, etc in the dumpster or around it but they do and it sometimes makes it hard to get to the dumpster to put your trash in. They are supposed to call someone to come and haul things like that away and pay for it themselves.

There are townhouses across the street who have their own trash cans and recycling bins that they have to put out on trash day. I’ve seen them taking their trash down to our dumpsters at times. I guess their cans are full.

Neighbor watching

The girl upstairs looks like shes moving out or going on a long vacation. She backed her car up in the parking space and so far has brought out 3 large suitcases that are jam-packed with clothes. There might even be some wedding night lingerie in them but since her boyfriend moved out a couple weeks ago I don’t think that’s the case.

Several weeks ago they both moved a lot of stuff out then a couple hours later brought it all back. That was a very confusing scenario.

I feel bad for this girl. She’s a very tiny, thin Asian girl and she’s carrying these heavy suitcases all by herself.

Time to purge… again

I live in a small 1 bedroom condo and storage space is very limited. I’ve been here since the middle of December and it’s time to go through things and purge again. I have magazines I need to go through and clip some articles out that I want to keep and recycle the magazines. I don’t need the articles relating to the best gifts for corporate off site events but I want to keep the ones for organizing small spaces.

I still have boxes from when I moved in that I need to break down and take to the recycling bin too.
