Redbox is My New Best Friend

 

Forget Blockbuster. Forget Netflix. Redbox is the coolest thing since sliced bread. If you are not familiar, Redbox is the name of a DVD vending machine company that has these cute little red “machines” in and around  most major cities. The coolest part: it only costs $1 per rental per day.

If you lose track of things easily, Redbox may not be the best thing for you but if you are good at returning things on time, you will love Redbox. If you rent a movie today, you have until tomorrow night at 9pm to return it–or they will charge you $1 per day until you’ve reached 25 days in which case you become the proud owner of that DVD.

If you are a casual renter, Netflix is a waste of money. And Blockbuster may not have late fees, but it certainly isn’t cheap. And another thing–using Redbox is easy. Just go, swipe your credit card, pick your movies and go!

So they may not have the latest films from Sundance Film Festival, but who cares? If you want those kinds of movies you probably already frequent your local Rainbow Video Store.

Need a Resume?

I’m just throwing this out there…

If I said I’d write your resume for only $300, what would you say (assuming you were in need of a resume, that is)?

Kids Say the Darndest Things

While waiting in line at Wal-Mart this afternoon, I pulled a piece of paper out of my pocket that my 4-year old had obviously written on. When I asked Madilynn what it said, she replied “You’re fired.” 

Nice.

Axed!

So I was released from my place of employment last Wednesday. As a recruiter, I filled a lot of jobs. Unfortunately, we weren’t getting any new jobs to fill. Sometimes you just have to do things yourself, I suppose. In any case, few companies out there want to pay an arm and a leg for a service to find candidates and I can’t say I blame them. I filed for unemployment but I have to call and talk to them. I have tried calling 15 times–FIFTEEN TIMES–so far today and the line is B-U-S-Y. It is worse than trying to be caller number 104 during a radio promotion!

At least I have my lovely children to keep me company while trying to apply for jobs. I think Madi is waiting behind me for the computer. She can’t live without her playhousedisney.com–she’ll just have to wait a little longer!

McDonald’s Monopoly Game is a Joke–But I’m NOT Laughing

  

If I could choose just one word to describe McDonald’s Monopoly game it would be….

wait for it….

SCAM.

Seriously, how much does one have to sacrifice spend to win $50?! Don’t even get me started on the online version of the game. It brings back horrible memories of when I was a child and was convinced that my family won the Publisher’s Clearing House campaign. Not until my mother sent me over to the neighbors’ house did I realize that everyone got the same “You’ve Just Won $1,000,000″ postcard. 

The sad part is, every year I keep going back to Mickey D’s for my gamepieces just hoping I will win something more than a free small french fry.

That’s What You Get For Using Your Cellphone in the Pooper

I’m no stranger to bathroom humor, so I have to share the following story with you. While taking my usual bathroom break yesterday morning I noticed that someone in one of the stalls was talking quite loudly on his cellular phone-I couldn’t concentrate and he wasn’t close to ending his call. Frustrating isn’t it? I mean, talking on a cellular phone in a restaurant is one thing, but in the bathroom?! C’mon now.

So, I did what any other American would do in a situation like this. I assumed that the person on the other end of the conversation had no idea this guy was in the pooper. I felt it was my duty to let them know just what was going on. So… I flushed the toilet in the stall directly next to his and ran walked out quickly.
