I came across this site called Acobay, that while it is a social bookmarking site, is a bit different. This site aims to connect people via their “Stuff“. For instance, I drive a G5, so I’d add that to my stuff page with a review of the car and then others who have the same car would add their reviews. There is an area to discuss their stuff as well. Though it’s just in it’s beta stage, I think this site has some definite potential. Worth checking out.
Another weekend has flown by almost without me noticing. How the hell does that happen? Today I spent most of the day trying to get my front door knob replaced. When we moved into this house we were only given a single key for the front door, which I suppose was no big deal for the single lady living here, but since there are two of us needing the one key that can’t be copied we needed to do something about it. Moving at the speed of a snail, we finally got around to getting a new door knob and I finally decided it was warm enough today (0° C) to tackle the job of putting the new knob on. The old one was a total bitch to get off. It didn’t behave anything like the new one I was replacing it with, so I had to fiddle with it forever. It always seems that whenever I attempt to do some project for myself I end up calling my Dad up to help me with something I can’t quite do. I hate not being independent enough to do it myself, but I guess I’d rather have it done right. I love the new knob but the only thing that bugs me is that the locking mechanism on the inside of the door is like the bathroom locks where you have to push and twist the handle. The old one had a button in the middle that you had to turn to lock. The old one was easy to see if I’d forgotten to lock the door, but I’ll just have to get used to the new one.
Tomorrow I start my dual jobs. I will be doing my old-new job (wtf?), okay, the VP secretary thing which is new as of November, in the morning. So when I get in at 7:30, I’ll be getting all the supply teachers arranged for any absent teachers. Then from like 9:00 till 11:30 I’ll be across the hall in Guidance where I will be totally winging it since I’ve only had like 2 hours of training and the girl who trained me has left the country for the week. Wish me luck, cause I don’t think I have a clue how to do much over there. Probably would be a good idea to go to bed about 2 hours ago in order to get a good night sleep. Yeah, night.

I find myself constantly looking up products and reviewing which is the best one for me. I swear I don’t remember life before the Internet! How on earth did I make a decision to purchase anything? But seriously say for instance you were looking for coffee grinders. You would find yourself at a page divided into categories by use. From there you would end up at a page which lists all the products. Down the left hand side are options such as price and brand to filter your results. Most of the coffee grinders have reviews which I always find useful in making my own decision, plus you can select multiple items and do a side by side comparison. On top of that you can search out the lowest price for coffee grinders and purchase them right from that page. If, like me, you like to do some investigation before making a purchase, then this is the site for you!

    My Dad just emailed me (yes from downstairs) to say that his printer is giving up the ghost and that he will be looking for a new one. Now I know that I can do some easy research to find just the right one. I personally haven’t had a printer in quite some time. Though I find them very useful I found that the print quality was crappy after not too long. I don’t print very often, I guess that’s the problem. It would go in spurts. I’d leave the printer for a month or two then have a whole bunch of stuff to do and end up being disappointed with the results. I used to make my own cards and thought it was so much better than simply buying them, but when you end up with gaps in your printing it looks less than professional. Hopefully I can help my Dad find the perfect printer.
