Entrepreneurial genius

Someone should buy this for me. Just sayin', it looks like an amazing invention. Those packages are so hard to get into, stupid theft deterrents. http://www.dailygrommet.com/products/287-zip-it-clamshell-and-plastic-package-opener/?utm_source=CC&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20111122 I’m on a black Friday kick this year. Best buy has a 42 inch HDTV for only $200. Last year I waited 5 hours to get a 32 inch TV for $250 and that deal is still unheard of now! Best. deal. ever. The only catch? They start handing out tickets to buy them at 10pm Thursday night and doors don’t even open until midnight, which means you pretty much have to get there at a ridiculous time to get one. I'm shooting for arriving at 8pm and hoping I get a ticket. We will see if I actually follow through when the time comes. They said the minimum amount of TVs at each best buy is only 10. Watch, there will be another black Friday massacre at Best Buy. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nation

Not facing unemployment

Wow. After reading this article  I am so happy to be employed. It may not be the most glamorous job, getting cussed out by doctors all day, but it is a great job that I found right out of college. In fact, this company has been good to my family. We have great job security and don't face a lot of pressure from our bosses. The company employed both me and my fiancĂ© mere months after we graduated college and we are making a lot more than most recent college grads. In fact, we saw something on TV the other day where someone was changing their whole life to take a job that paid $30,000 a year. The sound affects even added a "cha-ching." We both commented immediately that wouldn't be enough to send us packing! Are we spoiled or what? I didn’t realize it, but we have it really good for just starting out and getting married. We are able to have a beautiful, large wedding that no one in either of our families has even dreamed of. Andy has even been able to pay off one of his
