Again with another economics test. I am glad I got through this one. The tests themselves aren’t hard. The questions I generally know the answers to, give or take a few here and there. The technicality of the answer is usually where I mess up.
Why is it always so hard to remember the small, easy items rather than the large, overly complicated process in economics? Then again, it could just be me.
Not to make light of the situation at hand, but apparently it is a good idea to steer clear of islands and costal areas in the indian ocean the day after a religious holiday.
Although The Office is not quite as dry and witty as Arested Development, I still liked it. If you didn’t see it, you missed out.
Regarding the Terry Shiavo situation. I don’t agree with them taking this to a federal court. The Florida decision should have remained. This is nothing more than a political push for republicans to corner democrats at their weakest.
There are far more things congress and the executive can spend their time working towards. The war in Iraq for one. Also this non-existent “shortage” in social security. Of course, the deficeit, domestic woes, marriage rights, improving the well-being of our citizens, and even becoming a country others can respect has nothing on a woman’s case that has already gone through the legal system in Florida. Lord forbid we actually take the side of the Mrs Shiavo in this one.
The government has overstepped its boundries once again. Between trying to undo the ruling of a state court (whether legal or not) and trying to nationalize the Major League Baseball Association it appears congress has no idea what they should be doing. I say we think next time we vote, and kick these idiots out of a position they don’t quite understand.

How can I be 100% of almost everyting but be considered a Buddhist?
Wired news reported, and Dave Winer has been pushing the South by South West Music Festival has put 750 songs from bands playing there up on BitTorrent. All of the songs are released under a commons license, so no lawsuits here. If you are a fan of music, or are a fan of the Austin Texas area (Mitch!?) You should download this file give it a couple of days to finish (it’s 2.5 gigs) and then start jamming.
There are a few things I do at work that resemble art. And when I talk of art, I am really only talking about two things. Either the movie Office Space, or the comic strip Dilbert. For fans of the movie Office Space, I only have this to say.
You hear the jokes about TPS reports… I really have to do TPS reports. EVERYDAY. For those you who are curious as to what TPS actually means, well, it simply stands for Tracking Payments System. I don’t have to attach cover sheets to these, and I don’t staple them with my red swingline stapler, I simply look at payments we have received on certain days and then calculate what percentage we are getting and when, and try to apply that to a forcast of payments. I do have a couple of bosses looking over me to make sure I have done it correctly. Usually it looks horrible.
Dates are out of place, numbers don’t add up, and percentages look like crap. But now that I have taken the time to rethink how I do these reports, they have started to look better. And today, I can gladly say that I have gotten the stuff corrected, numbers look good, and I won’t have to clean off fish in my office to feel better about myself.
I do want my red stapler back though.
Yahoo! is celebrating its 10th birthday and is giving every registered user a free scoop of ice cream. No joke! So, if you have ever had an email address, web page, or instant messanger with Yahoo, go claim your free ice cream. I think it is with Baskin-Robbins, and Im not sure that we have a baskin-robbins anymore in town? Anybody?
