DST

Daylight savings time starts Sunday (tomorrow) at 2 am and will remain that way until Sunday November 3rd.For most of my life I grew up in Arizona and did not have any time change what-so-ever. I do remember taking trips across the border to CA and enjoying the time change. Now I am on the other side and the time change is nearly here.I don’t mind it. Now-a-days technology makes such things so easy. My phone and computer will update the time by itself. The only thing in the house that won’t automatically change time would be the stove, the hanging clock and microwave. That’s not so bad.Here is a video from a channel I follow on youtube. It breaks it all down… and gives some neat facts too.[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84aWtseb2-4?list=SPqs5ohhass_QZtSkX06DmWOaEaadwmw_D]So it rained yesterday with temps in the 40’s and by Tuesday it will be sunny, warm and in the high 70’s to low 80’s.. how crazy. I looked up the weather for AZ and they’re in for a bigger change. 40’s to 90’s. Ick. No thank you.Things have been seemingly productive the past few days. My mom and dad have both been bed-ridden with flu like symptoms. Maryia and myself have been taking care of them up until today. It’s been nice actually. We have pretty much had the whole place to ourselves and have been in charge for meals and everything else. I can’t say that my favorite thing in the wold is taking care of Willie, but hey. Ya do what you should do.Maryia and myself have gone through the garage stuff 110% and are now a total of 90% done REPACKING nearly every item we own. We await a purchase on a larger container to hold some frames and larger items- then we will be complete. It is a nice feeling… now I go and in the garage I feel organized. Everything is labeled on what is inside, if its fragile and the weight of the container. Weight? Yes, we have even labeled the containers to light, moderate, heavy and super heavy. I wish we didn’t have any super heavy containers- but what can you do.My consolidation on my emails is going very well. I have pretty much gotten rid of all my emails (minus my oldest). Hmmm, come to think of it.. I don’t know why I blogged about that. But I did.I suppose that means I don’t have much else to update on. Still looking for work – in all places. Still waiting for the phone to ring.“Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!” – Psalm 27:14just Pray

19 Clicks

Hey,

A recent study was published that stated all pages on the Internet are connected. It went on to say that all pages are connected in 19 clicks or less.

Well, that’s a little crazy. Dare I say believable?

So… I was watching Boy Meets World on ABC family. I decided to look up the BMW cast and see where everyone was at and what everyone was now up to (13 years later… Eeek that makes me feel old)

I found from one webpage links to one character to the next. Then I found links to the upcoming show Girl Meets World. Yes, I am somewhat excited for the show- especially when the producer said he has given an open invitation to anyone from the original series who wants to be on the new one. I ended up reading interviews from the producer Michael Jacobs… and even read personal views about the new show from nearly every old cast member. I then found links to most everyone’s Twitter account including yes, Mr. Feeney. (On a side note: I was surprised that Will Fridele [Eric] has virtually no social media presence.

From these pages I was somehow taken to the Wayback machine. There I ended up looking up old websites I previously had, old domains, you name it.

This is a very random post – I admit it. I can however make the point that I understand how so many things can be linked so seamlessly. It wouldn’t be that far of a reach to think that you can get anywhere with just a few clicks.

I think I have always known this, but now we have a nifty number to go along with our assumptions.

19.

Resigned to the fact

Hey

This title seems to imply something positive?

Perhaps.  The truth is: I am getting rather discouraged by this non-job finding atmosphere.  It really bothers me beyond belief .

I am starting to resign to the fact that I will be stuck in a shoddy call center type job long term if I am going to get back to working.  Unfortunately even call center jobs don’t seem to be calling me back on applications.

What is a person to do?  I’ve made a marker to gauge where things are so that if I don’t find something by June I am going to start applying more aggressively at the local retailers.  Target,  Walmart,  JCPenny and the likes.  Not anything I want to do..  but at this point I really need work for my own mental health.  I’ve briefly been applying to those type of jobs in the past months (Ross, retail banks etc) but have gotten no feedback.  It is VERY depressing not being able to find work and watching what was a normal bank account sink down into the 0.00 levels.  Thankfully my bank doesn’t have ANY minimums or fees.  (It’s Ally Bank, the best bank I’ve ever had.)  I’m not necessarily giving up on life per-say.  Just giving up on finding a job that I would actually like to have or work at.  Why keep looking for something that simply isn’t there?  I’ve all but given up on the idea and am trying to move forward (mentally) from that point.  I am forcing myself to think this way.  It has been pretty bad though- I’ve never felt so deeply that I am in a rut that I can’t get out or climb out of than I have recently.  All I get is silence when I pray.  It reminds me of a song that is really one of my favorites.  Not always for the happiest of reasons.  That struggle.  That faith.  That pain.  Ugh.

 

Anyway, I didn’t want this post to be a complete downer.  Picking up the tone a little bit I will happily report that we have had some rain as of late.  It was nice.  In fact – yesterday there was a chance of snow (it didn’t snow) but it was cold enough for it.  Just no precipitation was left.

Just a photo a took at a stop light  yesterday- I liked the look of the focus on the raindrops instead of the backdrop.

OH!  Last thing.  A video I’ve really liked lately.. it has got my feet moving, my head a bobbin.. haha its something that makes me want to get pumped up.  FF5 and Lecrae.  The song is Cray Button.  I’ve posted the video below.

Otherwise.. that is about it!

Happy (25th if I am counting correctly)  Birthday to Brandy in 2 days!
