Give me some room

It seems that I never have enough room in my house. As much as I clean it out and get rid of old things, I am always bringing in something new. This is particularly true of my garage. Everyone knows that my garage is my pride and joy and I want it to be neat and tidy. That’s why I decided to invest in some Garage Cabinets to make things a little more manageable.

The main reason I need Garage Storage Cabinets is that I have a lot of car parts that I want to categorize so that I can find them when I want them. I spend most of my time looking for things I know I have and it’s driving me crazy! I am only trying to decide what size cabinets I need and what kind to get. That’s when I discovered that I could purchase Steel Storage Cabinets in order to make my dream come true.

I have looked at many types and brands and have decided to go with Arrow Spacemaker Storage Cabinets. They have the cabinets I need and offer quick service as well as low prices. I am looking forward to having my garage arranged the way I want it to be. It will be great knowing that I can have a little more room for the things I need and want.

Drought in Texas

The weather in some parts of Texas has been especially hot this year. That coupled with a lack of rain has equaled out a drought. This has affected the growing and selling of Christmas trees. The farmers are not having a good year.

Many trees are dying from the intense heat. Trees are being imported from other areas of the country in order to meet demand. The effect on the local Texas economy is expected to last for several years as many saplings have died as well. I hope they get a break soon.

Storage Problem solved

Since there are hundreds of people who work where I do, we always seem to have problems that need to be solved. It seems that whenever the shifts change, some people are having a tough time finding the things they brought to work. While I am sure that no one actually sets out to steal something, there might be times when they borrow it. That’s why we decided that installing some small lockers might help keep our employees items secure.

We started to look into having some office lockers installed. I found a good site called morelockers.com that had just what we needed. I talked with a representative over the phone and he was very helpful. It turns out that they carry a full line of products. The prices were well within our budget and that made it an easy choice. I was glad things went so smoothly.

Now things are so much better for everyone. When a person comes to work they can put their stuff in a locker and not have to worry about it anymore. I always say that “good fences make good neighbors” and it has turned out to be true for us. I am ready to take on the next problem we encounter as this one seems to be solved.

It’s that time of year

Besides watching football on Thanksgiving Day, my of my favorite things to watch is the news about those who wait for a store to open for days before black Friday. I wonder of these people are really as crazy as they seem. Going through all that trouble just to shop??

I think I’ll do what I always do and that is to stay home and order my things on the internet. Why fight the crowds when I can have what I need delivered to my house. These people are just not thinking to clearly. They are fun to watch though.

Employment gains

The unemployment rate is always being watched by investors. That’s why it is good that the unemployment rate fell by 1% this month. That means that many more people have found jobs this month. I think that this is good for the economy.

Many experts believe that the economy is improving as a whole. This will help local businesses that have been struggling. The housing market is always a concern. But some areas are doing well in that regard. I hope the trend will continue.

DMV

I have just bought a new truck. It is a 1985 ford ranger that I hope to fix up and use for various tasks. Anyway, I had to take that dreaded trip to the DMV in order to get the title straight and new tags. It was a long wait and I was missing work for every hour spent in a hard chair, not getting paid.

After I got my number, I patiently waited for it to be called. After waiting for quite a spell, my turn finally came. Guess what happened next. That’s right, I had to wait some more!! I lost 5 hours of work and no way to make it up.

I am always glad to get out of that place!

appendix

Written by my friend Otis Buckley

My back was killing me the other day at work. I was just in the middle of speaking with HOme SecuritY Family on the phone when I was literally crippled with pain. I quickly told the representative that I was going to have to call her back. I took some Advil and tried to get back to work. Thirty minutes later my back and abdomen were hurting again. The pain got so bad that I had to leave work. By the time I left, I could barely drive. A co-worker convinced me that I need to go to the emergency room and gave me a ride. She called my husband and he met me up there. Much to my surprise, I was told that I was going to have to have surgery. I had an appendicitis. It didn’t occur to me that my back ache that had turned into stomach ache was so serious. I am so glad that my co-worker convinced me to go to the emergency room. My doctor told me that I made it just in time.

Scary days and nights

The moon is full in the sky at this time of year. It’s really huge and can be menacing when the clouds are just right. It sets the tone for Halloween and that’s fine with me. I always enjoy trying to give the kids a little scare before they get their treats. It’s a tradition that my father started.

When I was little we always decked out the yard with all manner of scary things. I have taken over this tradition and added to our collection of stuff. My yard will be the envy of all others on the block. I am waiting for that wonderful night!

What I am wearing

One thing that I am pretty fussy about is the clothes that I wear. I like what I like and will not wear anything else. Anyone who tries to buy me clothes for a birthday or Christmas knows that there is a good chance I will not wear them. That’s just the way it is. That’s why I was surprised when I opened a present from my wife that had clothes in it. I knew this would be interesting.

It turns out that I actually liked these clothes. There were two pairs of mens lab coats that looked really cool. I could tell they were of high quality and would be comfortable to wear. I was surprised that they fit so well as she usually gets me they wrong size. I asked her where she had gotten the clothes and she led me to the computer and showed me a site called http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Men/. It truly was a Christmas miracle.

I have decided to make a rare exception and keep the clothes I was given. I think I would still prefer to purchase my own clothes but I guess that I could use a little help now and then. I’ll just have to see what the future brings on this sensitive subject.

Hire someone

Recently, the new jobs report came out. The Labor Department reported that nearly 103,000 new jobs were added in the country for the month of September. While this number is not that bad, it was not really what economists were hoping for. They always want more.

Fears of another recession still linger for many investors. The stock market is still skittish. The president is still pushing his idea for a jobs bill that would hopefully create more jobs. In the meantime, I hope those who can will hire someone and help the economy along.
