Having trouble staying motivated.

Any tips you might have would be greatly appreciated. TIA. ...

This morning a local morning talk DJ had an interesting segment. He was responding to a woman who had called in, complaining that he didn't have anything "positive" to say. His response was, "Oh, I am POSITIVELY certain that we are all getting screwed!" (Comments were in reference to Congress extending the debt ceiling.) This reminded me of the asinine phrase, "I'm just going to be POSITIVE!" that I hear over and over, usually from women, most of whom are MTs.&n ...

Explorer 8 on Medquist computer? They sent me a new computer because the fan went out in the old one and the new one had Explorer 8 on it.

I recently accepted a position with a company because this company had supposedly obtained a huge account. After completing the paperwork, sending it back, training on the account and working for about 3 days, I was told that the account was lost.
