After a few missed emails, and one finally getting a response I’m unhappy to say that I wasn’t accepted to one of the companies down here that I was truly hoping to work with.  There are a few other options but they really aren’t what I’d like to do, so instead I’m just going to stick with a retail job in the area so I can get my own car and then worry about traveling to other towns for design positions that are out there.  The second option for me, besides retail, was a company about 10 minutes from here…more»

It’s taken a little while for it to really kick in for me but I’m convinced that I’m never going to get that “rejection” notice from the job interview I went on a few weeks ago. Numerous emails to the person I interviewed with have gone unanswered so I’ve just decided to give up and look elsewhere. If it weren’t for Google dropping my ranks, I wouldn’t have this problem. So I’ve been looking into other means and have luckily heard from one of the applications I sent in. It’s a cashiers position at a local supermarket but based on…more»

I’m what one would call a “jack of all trades”. Minus some very heavy lifting, I can pretty much figure out and fix everything on my own. I don’t need to call on a “man” when I need to get things done, so naturally I read into just about everything. If I truly wanted to, I could probably build my own home and only have to worry about the cost of land and supplies, as opposed to the cost of the 30 year mortgage that’s only going to bring me to move in 10 years because my job changed or…more»

I’ve been poking around online for a new keyboard to use with my iMac. While I’m anal about using the keyboard/mouse that came with the computer, I’m also in need of something a bit larger because of how badly my hands bother me if I’ve been using the computer all day. There’s no real support with the small keyboard that comes with a Mac. I would like to plug in my older one but it’s not compatible with this particular setup so I guess I’m going to have to look elsewhere. It’s something that’s going to be a future purchase…more»

For the past few days, Karen’s sister has been down here looking into a new home. She’s moving down to Delaware after a 20+ year stay in her current house in New York. She’s found a few different properties, she’s looked into a mortgage and has basically taken it from there. I’ve also been looking into information on Mortgages for my own personal hopes and dreams. Supposedly it’s a buyers market but even with a 30 year fixed mortgage you’re limited as to what you can get, and where you can find an even remotely decent home being sold for…more»

It’s unfortunate but we’re soon going to have to put Candy down because she hasn’t been doing very well lately. She’s about 16 years-old and she’s been on numerous medications, the most recent one for her heart which is about 3 times larger than it should be and has some fluid behind it, we’re unsure if it’s fluid in the lungs or around the heart. Either way it’s nothing anyone is happy about. I don’t like having to put an animal down but the unfortunate thing about it, they don’t live anywhere near as long as humans do. They’re a…more»

I don’t typically do this but I was in the mood for photo posting today so that’s primarily what this entry will be. It’s Valentine’s Day and Sean being the romantic he is typically doesn’t make a big deal out of things, publicly. We discussed what was going to happen this year and based on finances we decided that spending a quiet evening at home is the route we’re going to take. So tonight I’m going to be making dinner, and last night I went bake-happy and made cupcakes with cute little hearts on them and dual-flavor icing just to…more»

I’m kind of unhappy with my current domain registration reseller so while I’m also looking around for a new web hosting company, I’m also looking into registrars as well. There are quite a few different companies out there that are both higher and lower in price than the one I’m currently working with. While I have come across valuable companies like paylessdomains.com.au, I have to say that there are ones that are a bit cheaper in pricing as well. At the same time, anything under $12.00 seems to be on the low-end considering the jack-up in pricing on domains lately…more»

Taking time away from my hosting search, I’m also playing in photoshop for a new template here. This one has been up long enough and it’s a bit plain in comparison to some of the things I’ve been doing lately. There isn’t enough really enough color or texture in general going on here to hold my attention for very long. I’m also slowly removing links and things from my sidebars. It’s effecting me financially so removing them would be the best option to take right now. Technorati: Site Updates, AGn Designs

I’m still undecided when it comes to what company I’m going to go through for webhosting. I’ve been poking around sites like web hosting choice just to get a general idea of where the best place to go will be. At the same time, I’m going through numerous support desks just so I can get the answers I need when it comes to server mods and the lack of 500 errors so I can do what I really want to do with my site. I absolutely LOVE using Mars Edit but can’t use it with my current host so there’s…more»
