They’re installing new software at work

They just told us Friday that when we come back in Monday, they will have some new software installed that will not only help the office, but will help each of us individually and as a group.  Sometimes we have a project that we work on as a team and if we’re under a tight deadline, then we have to work on it over the weekend to get it completed in time.  Well this new software is going to be a huge help with that.  It’s a remote access software that will allow computers to ‘hook up’ to each other.

One of the best features of this software is the fact that if you’re having computer troubles, they can fix the problem by hooking up to another computer and fix it from that computer.  Anything from configuration issues to what ever else can go wrong and you know how computers can be sometimes.  I really think mine is a blond as goofy as it acts from time to time.  Another great thing about this software is the fact that PROXY Pro 6 Workstation Edition uses authentication and fine-grained permissions to make sure that only authorized technicians can access remote computers. It also has state-of-the-art 256-bit encryption which ensures that all communications are private and secure so you won’t have to worry that just anyone can access your computer.

You learn something new every day

Jayce just told me last night that his brother is on the police force.  I really admire anyone that is in the military or on the police force because they put themselves in harms way to protect us.  One thing that blew me away is the fact that the police department doesn’t provide all of the tactical gear that they need.  Jayce was telling me that his brother gets most of his 5.11 Pants and other tactical gear online.  They have just about everything that a police officer would need to protect them and be able to carry the gear they need.  Anything to keep them safe is the way I feel about it especially since they put their lives on the line every day.

Mom came over an saw the planters I have

Well as you should know by now, my mother is redoing just about everything inside and out at her house.  She came over last night and was commenting on the planters I have my plants in and decided she needed some new planters for her plants too.  One of the things she’s looking for the I love are window box planters.   I think they look great on a house especially when they have the type of plants that hang out of them.  Of course she’s wanting to get some high end planters because only the best is good enough for my mother.

We went online and she found some really nice decorative planters she wants for her inside plants.  Then she saw the outdoor planters and came up with all sorts of ideas of what to put in them.  She wants some of the garden planters for her patio too.  Not too many but just enough to grew a few herbs in.  She loves fresh herbs.  Then she went back to the indoor planters and picked out a couple of them.  She’s definitely on a buying streak.  I have to admit that I love the decorative planter she picked out for her living room.  It looks great.

I just might go shopping

I need something new to wear to the carnival this weekend.  Something that I won’t get too hot in or too cold in either because this time of year, you never know what the temperature is.  Plus riding some of the rides can be a bit chilly.  Besides everything else, it’s a darn good excuse to go shopping for something new.  Don’t you think so?  I do!!  I might even get my sister to go with me.  She’s really good at picking out clothes.  Better than I an unfortunately.

I’m watching the banks

I used to dabble a little in the stock market until that all went down the tubes.  That’s true of a lot of people too unfortunately.  Now I have been checking online to find the Best CD Rates so I will at least know my money will be there and even gain a little anyway instead of worrying it’ll all be gone.

Happy Birthday Lisa

My cousin is having a birthday today. She is 25 today – a quarter of a century! Oops! I resemble that remark!

Lisa and I hardly ever get to see much of each other. Her mom moved to Florida when Lisa was just a kid, but thanks to email and now these blogs we can always stay in touch with each other. It would have been cool to grow up with a cousin close to the same age, but that was not to be.

Lisa didn’t want to go to college – she worked all through high school at a Dunkin Donuts and learned so much about the business world and good customer service, that she was a valuable employee right out of high school. She found a great job right away and has been promoted over the years – and she deserves everything good that comes her way.

Happy Birthday, Cuz!

Wow this is great for New Jersey

New Jersey has a new web site to help people find jobs. New Jersey Jobs helps companies to find employees and help the unemployed to find companies that are hiring.   It’s through the Chamber of Commerce too so that just gives people another way to search for a job.  I know New Jersey has always had a bit of a bad reputation but how bad can it be when some very famous people are from there.  Bruce Springstein is just one of many that grew up there.  It’s really a beautiful state if you’ve never been the and also has one of the highest per capita incomes of all 50 states.  You just might want to consider checking it out if you’re in need of a job.  I sure wouldn’t hesitate if I needed a job.

Well looks like another neighbor is moving

There are so many people moving out of our neighborhood that it’s becoming almost a weekly occurrence.  I hope I never have to move again but I’m sure I will at some point.  One things for sure, when I do, I’ll check out the moving companies very carefully. You can’t be too careful when you decide on a movers because you’re basically trusting just about everything you own to them.  You have to make sure they have a good reputation.  Personally I think I would rather use Budget Van Lines since I know several people that have used them.

Some people prefer to use one way truck rentals which is great if you don’t mind doing all of the work yourself but one things for sure, you know you will pack your stuff carefully.  I’m not sure I would want to do all of that myself.  After some of what I have read about Budget Van Lines, I still think that’s who I would get to do my move for me.  But to each his own I guess.  I just hope everyone has done their homework and checked out who’s moving their stuff!!!

Now my sister has the bug

I guess since Mom has gotten so into redecorating and I have been doing some too, my sister has now caught the redecorating bug.  She was asking me about home address plaques because she had noticed that I have a nice address plaque on my front porch.  She said she hadn’t really thought much about it until she saw how nice mine looked and wanted to either find some address plaques she could choose between or maybe an address sign would be better.

She has a rather long driveway and thought that maybe address signs might be  better since you would be able to see them better from the street.    Well I suggested she not only get one for at the street but she could also choose from the wall address plaques for her porch too.  There’s nothing wrong with having one at the end of the driveway and one on the house.  She agreed and now it will take her a week to pick each one out.

Ceiling fans now!

Boy is Mom going all out or what?  Now she’s wanting to get new ceiling fans for the whole house.  It’s not like she doesn’t have ceiling fans in every room but since she’s redecorating, she needs to change the ceiling fans to match her new decor she says.  Some of the fans are pretty new too but she wants new ones so she’ll get new ones.

She has Hunter fans now and they’re really good fans.  I love them personally but she wants a change.  She said she just needed a change and was looking at the Casablanca ceiling fans and fell in love with them.  Casablanca has always been a favorite movie of hers in the first place and that’s the style she wants.  I fully expected for her to want something custom.  That’s the good thing about this online store, they’ll even make a custom ceiling fan to meet you specifications with all the bells and whistles you could want with it.  I wonder if I could get her to give me the fans she takes down?
