del.icio.us?

If you have visited my page recently you have seen the sidebar section (on the right) that is dedicated to "my del.icio.us links". What is this nonsense you might ask? Well I don't know how to really explain it, but I will try. But before I try I will post what del.icio.us wrote:

What is del.icio.us?

del.icio.us is a collection of favorites - yours and everyone else's. Use del.icio.us to:

* Keep links to your favorite articles, blogs, music, restaurant reviews, and more on del.icio.us and access them from any computer on the web.
* Share favorites with friends, family, and colleagues.
* Discover new things. Everything on del.icio.us is someone's favorite - they've already done the work of finding it. Explore and enjoy.


So basically after I register an account at del.icio.us, I then add a "tag" button on my browser. I click this tag button whenever I reach a web page of interest. This lets me save it in a list that everyone can see if they access "my del.icio.us link" page. This also shares the link to other users on del.icio.us as well. The links you see on the sidebar is a service they offer that lets you see my most current tagged links. I think its rather neat. Its basically your bookmarks, but shared with everyone else!

Access Toyota + no haggling = No more bargains

Here's a link to a pretty interesting article regarding Toyota's Access "no haggling" program. The reason I'm linking this is that I've been helping Tuyet buy a new car and she was specifically looking for a Toyota Yaris. After dealing with shady dealers and stealerships we got pretty fed up and most likely will not deal with Toyota Canada, perhaps Toyota USA if they don't go by this BS Access program. Read for yourself (I know its from 2003 but it is still interesting).

What is Hasboro thinking?

Judge for yourself after watching this commercial for the Oozinator. What genius at Hasboro thought shooting white slimey goo by pumping a penis like pump to be appropriate?

"........major pumping required".

First day of training.

I went through 5 1/2 hours of web training today. It was a little bit long winded and it was a bit too much to absorb. But it was okay overall. I have about another 12 hours of training and then I'm on the floor. Kinda scary. But I know I can keep my head above water. Why are there so many women cashiers? No I'm not complaining :D

Missed the bus....

....the Contemporary Motor Sports 1-Day Spring Blowout sale bus that is. All because I was training from 8-5 the Saturday that the CMS sale was occuring. I'm so sad. Last year I got a great deal on my CAI from there and this year I wanted to go pick up a set of 18" inch Tenzo rims wrapped in Nexens and maybe splurge to get some Tein Coilovers. But sadly I totally missed the bus on this sale. Hopefully I can find a good deal on these in the upcoming months. I've waited a year and I missed it because of training! Blah!

Agent Orange reporting for duty!

So after a week of thinking about whether or not I would attend my training sessions at the Home Depot this weekend I finally decided that I would give it a try, thinking that I had nothing to lose. And after 16 hours of paid training, I'm really glad that I went. There are so many positives about working there that I don't care what all the haters say. Here's a few perks.

- 50% of my tuition will be reimbursed
- 3 days of paid sick leave
- Any donations I make, they will match it. So if I had worked at Home Depot last year, they would have matched my "shave your head for cancer" fundraising. Meaning I would have been able to donate $1000 to Cancer instead of $500.
- Super flexible. I told them I had exams in two weeks. They gave me minimal hours this week, and gave me the next week off....with no hassles.
- Profit sharing
- optional medical and dental insurance
- stock options available
- starting wage is great
- I can switch to any department after 3 months, and training is provided and paid for.

*all this was started on the first day of training. No 3 month wait.


So to all you haters out there....


HAH!
