Right now, I'm in the school library. First of all, this computer may be being monitered by the librarian at the desk right by me. the school has some fancy system so they can watch what students are doing. In one way, I really don't like the system, because in a way, it violates privacy (remember now, this is my opinion, don't hate me). The other way is that the administration can see if students are using school computers to view porn, or hack into government computers, or something like that. Anyway, back to what I wanted to say.
In this library, there are signs posted everywhere that say "No cell phone use" and " No food/drink in library". well why was the librarian eating a banana about ten minutes or more ago while in the library? yes ma'am, you've been caught.

Food
I like food (doesn't everyone?) I'm not much of a cook, but I do like to cook. I get most of my recipies from the internet. allrecipes.com is a good site to look at, I just now found this recipe for Ham and cheese rolls, sounds pretty good to me.
Even though I'm not a master chef, I can just throw some good stuff together. For example, one morning I was hungry, and there wasn't much in the kitchen, so I just threw something together. Here's the approximate recipe:
Very good scrambled eggs
- 5 large eggs
- 1 or 2 dashes of salt
- about 1/8 cup brown sugar
- about 1/8 cup white sugar
- about 1+1/2 tsp cinnimon
- a small bowl to mix
- a fork
- a skillet
- a rubber spatula
- a stovetop
- butter or no stick spray (unless you have one of those fancy no stick skillets)
Put all ingredients into bowl, mix with fork. Butter or spray skillet, put on stovetop on medium-low heat. Add mixture to skillet. with spatula, stir until set.
I'm really not sure how to explain how to make scrambled eggs, so if you don't already know how, visit allrecipes.com.

Coca-Cola
I like to drink Coke products. I even have an account at mycokerewards.com. anyway, I found this article today while reading the gazette (gazetteonline.com). I hope that this Stevia sweetener doesn't change the flavor too much if they do decide to use it. I'm just having a hard time figuring out why everything has to change. why can't things just stay the same? On that question, why do we have to switch to DTV (digital television)? I have a friend that got a converter box, and he can't even figure the thing out, and he's pretty good with electronics.
lets see here, what other changes am I annoyed with?... how about the change in weather. I hate cold weather. here in Cedar Rapids, the temperature has risen and fallen so much that it's driving me crazy!!!!! For a couple days, we have a temperature of -24 degrees, and a wind chill of -51 degrees, and then it goes to about 30 degrees, and then drops again. wake me up when spring comes around will ya!

Building Security
As you may already know, I work in a retirement home. In the front foyer area, they have a big security door, I believe it and its windows are bullet-proof. On the back door, mostly for employees, the security is questionable. there are no windows, it may be bullet-proof, and I need a special magnetic key to open it. the open door alarm goes off randomly when the door is closed, and after a certain time, if the door is left open for a long period of time, the alarm goes off. Just last night, as I was about to take out the garbage, I was probably 6-7 feet from the door, and the alarm goes off. I wasn't expecting the alarm to go off, so it scared the crap out of me. then the alarm shut off, and I continued my buisiness. Hopefully management can have the door looked at soon. the alarm doesn't really go off all the time, but it does go off randomly.

New Year, New President
As of the 20th, I believe, we have a new president. Yes, I know he's a black man,
but I'm not a racist. I don't usually talk about politics, because I don't really care about politics. I just hope that Obama is as good a president as people say he is/will be. Hopefully he will be better than G.W. Bush

a bus driver, a parent, and a lawsuit
I was watching the local news this morning. there was a short story about a bus crash that happened 2 years ago. apparently, the parent of a child injured in the crash is filing a lawsuit against the driver.... Really ?!?!?!?! how stupid is that?!?! oh, wait I didn't tell you the whole story. The road was covered with ice, the driver lost control, driver crashes, kids hurt. another thing that I really think is stupid, the driver was charged for "failing to control the vehicle"..... Really!?! if a bus is traveling at a set speed and then hits a patch of ice, you would think something would happen, right? maybe the bus would loose traction and go out of control?!
There are a lot of stupid people out there that will do crap like that just to make a few hundred dollars. I can't stand people like that!!!
you can view the story here: www.kcrg.com/news/local/37208254.html
also, view the comments, a lot of people agree with me

New Year 2009
let's all hope that 2009 will be better than 2008. In my book, 2008 sucked. The worst part of the year was the flood in June. you might have heard of it on your local news. here in Iowa, Cedar Rapids (where I live), and Iowa city were probably the worst hit areas. also, as far as I know, the whole town of palo was flooded. The local newspaper and local news made a book and video/documentary about the flood in eastern Iowa, that explains a lot about the flood. the book and movie are called Epic Surge, and can be purchased at http://www.gazetteonline.com/ or at www.kcrg.com/epicsurge. I ordered both the book and the video before they were even released. I received them in either September or October, i don't remember, but I give them both an A+.
Another thing that I hated about 2008 was the reeeaallllyy high gas prices. Here in Cedar Rapids, the price per gallon (ppg) was close to $3.90, or even $4.00. I do remember the ppg on june 13, the day the flood destroyed Cedar Rapids, was about $3.80. the reason I remember, the sign is still up at one of the downtown gas stations. I was somewhat happy when the ppg just suddenly dropped to just under $2.00. hopefully it stays that way.
