Who knew?

I got this in my email...

My nephew sent this to me and I sure did not know it. I never read the ends of the box. Duh!!

Bet you'll go to your kitchen to check this one out. I did. I had to go into the kitchen and check this out for myself. Who ever looks at the end of your aluminum foil box? What a fantastic idea. Now, if someone would just make plastic wrap that didn't stick to itself.

I've been using aluminum foil for more years than I care to remember. Great stuff, but sometimes it can be a pain. You know, like when you are in the middle of doing something and you try to pull some foil out and the roll comes out of the box. Then you have to put the roll back in the box and start over. The darn roll always comes out at the wrong time (like when you're using it. LOL)

Written on the end of the box it said, Press here to lock end?. Right there on the end of the box is a tab to lock the roll in place. How long has this little locking tab been there? I then looked at a generic brand of aluminum foil and it had one, too. I then looked at a box of Saran wrap and it had one too! I can't count the number of times the Saran warp roll has jumped out when I was trying to cover something up. I'm sharing this with my friends that did not know this.
"I checked with Reynolds wrap and they said the tabs on the end of the box started in 1996."
If you all ready know this, delete this message and don't e-mail me and make me feel dumber than I already feel. If you didn't know this, e-mail me and let me know so I won't feel so dumb. I hope I'm not the only person that didn't know about this.

Sainthood for /t.

/t.'s sainthood has been revoked. He is no longer a saint. He failed to follow the rules.

He said, and I quote: "
Blogger /t. said...

people!

get a grip!

you're talking about
laying a beating to a saint!!!

i forgive you, of course, but in future, please direct your violent tendencies toward the lambs

thank you

¤ ¤ ¤"

By this statement he broke rule # 3, which states: Rule # 3 - You and Lon will watch over the lambs to make sure none are eaten or beat up.

Violent tendencies is not good.

VACATION !!! :-D

I will be on vacation for two weeks starting the 4th of May. My church is having a week long revival, which I'm looking forward to, and I will be relaxing the whole ttime I'm on vacation. I need it so bad! I might even job hunt while I'm relaxing. I already put in an application with the city of where I live for a Records Specialist with the police. They want someone with a high school diploma and one years clerical experience. I wonder if my schooling will cover that experience I need for that job? We hopefully will find out.

I check the city's website daily. In the beginning of the week there were a lot of jobs available. I checked yesterday and a lot of those jobs had been filled, so those jobs are no longer available. The Records Specialist job is still available. I really hope they call me for an interview and hire me and give me that chance I need to prove myself as an office worker. I'm always on time and very dependable.

My resume is up to date and so is my portfolio.

On May 20th I'll be getting my certificate of completion for Office Skills Technology. I'll be putting a copy of that in my portfolio.
