Okay - my phone was charging last night and later today I pulled it off and saw I had a voice message.
I access the voice message and guess what it says:
"Your debit card has been deactivated. Please press 1 to reactivate your debit card."
Ummmm, what?
Okay I got the Target Debit Card the other day - maybe something happened when I set that up. Checked with Target - Nope, that is fine. Okay I call my bank. NOPE. Your debit card is just fine.
So here is my warning Family, Friends, Tweeps all over the internet.
DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY INFO WHEN SOMEONE CALLS OR EMAILS YOU!!!
So ends this lesson, Sunday, August 12, 2012.

I just might be selfish...

I have friends who will CHEER this post and others who will think I have lost my ever-lovin' mind. But I am torn...
Where I work there is a program that gives IT education and JOBS to inner-city youth at GREAT companies where they get experience working part-time in these companies IT Departments their senior year of high school.
But why limit it to inner-city youth? Why don't my kids qualify for a program like that? They could use the training in professionalism - they have OUR EXAMPLE, but what does that mean when there is real EXPERIENCE to be had working for a Fortune 500 company in their IT Department?
Bull! I see them in the elevators with EXPENSIVE CELL PHONES, do not tell me they are THAT poor that they need THIS HUGE A LEG UP.
This is the problem I have always had with the descrepencies of education and the fairness it just does not offer to middle class students.
Everyone expects that middle class families will just continue to suck up huge amounts of debt, the parents AND the children, to get a good education...
AND THEN they say that debt is spiraling out of control...DUH!
So Obama, whatcha gonna do about making EDUCATION fair and accessible to all? You want us all to go back to school - so after Healthcare are you on the EDUCATION parity for all Americans?
Really Sir, I want to know.

Sounds good, right?

Someone's excuse to me was these kids cannot afford a decent pair of shoes???

FedEx still made a profit and...
Thursday, March 19, 2009
The headline reads "FedEx 3Q earnings tumble on weak global economy" and yet they STILL made a profit of over thirty cents per share.
Maybe I am a dumb blonde.
Can someone explain to me why they have to layoff MORE workers to satisfy the shareholders? Why would they want to do that?
Shouldn't they try to KEEP people on board, find other ways to reduce costs - like Executive PAYCUTS, etc.
Then perhaps!!! Just Perhaps!!! People would be BUYING stuff that SHIPS to their home via FedEx.
Ya think?
Or maybe I am a feeble minded woman.
