We now have these at work

I am so glad that they have now come out with and AED that is affordable enough for most businesses to have on site.  Do you know what an AED is?  It’s an automated external defibrillator.   They’re just like the ones they carry on ambulances only more compact and easier to use in a business situation.  I think they are even carrying them on airlines now too which could easily be the one thing that could mean life or death in the air.

Social Security varification

Posted by Alicia on Sunday Apr 19, 2009 Under government, rants and raves, technology, work

With there being so many illegal aliens in our country now, a lot of business owners are beginning to do a Social Security Number Trace through ssnlocator.com to make sure that the number they are supplied with is actually the persons that gave it to them. I think it’s a great tool and can not only help employers but can protect you too from having someone else use your Social Security number.

You know, it might even help employers keep from getting in trouble by hiring illegal aliens. Something needs to be done and this is just one more tool to help.

Are you finished yet?

Posted by Alicia on Tuesday Dec 16, 2008 Under Family, Life, entertainment, holidays, money, parenting, work

I know so many people that keep telling me they’re finished with all of their Christmas shopping.  How can that be?  I’m not even half finished yet.  I know that Christmas is just around the corner but it’s kind of hard to go shopping when you have to work the stupid hours I do and then try and get away from the kids too.  Well it’s next to impossible.

I got the Wii for them and a couple other little things but I need a boys bicycle, a girls bicycle and a skateboard too.  Then there’s helmets for all three and knee and elbow pads to go with the skateboard.  There just aren’t enough hours in a day or dollars in my purse either!!  I’ll just be glad when it’s all over.

Bah-Humbug, HUH?  I’m sorry!!  I’m just stressed and really tired.  I need a long winters nap.  How about you wake me when it’s over, does that sound better?

Putting up the tree this weekend

Posted by Alicia on Thursday Dec 11, 2008 Under Family, entertainment, holidays, money, parenting, penny pincher, work

The kids have been bugging me like crazy wanting to put our Christmas tree up.  I just haven’t had any time with all the overtime I have been working to be able to buy the kids Christmas presents this year.  I am so thankful that I still have my job because I know so many people that have lost their jobs lately it’s scary.

Anyway, I have Saturday off (an act of God made that happen) and we’re finally putting up our tree.  My mother got us a really nice artificial tree one year after Christmas so I wouldn’t have to spend money on a live on every year.  Besides, it just doesn’t feel right to me to kill a tree to honor the birth of Jesus Christ.  Do you know what I’m saying?

Now once we get the tree up, the kids are going to be asking where the presents are.  I got to start working on that too.  What to get for who for under the tree.  There’s always clothes and underwear.  They hate to get that!!!!
