Tour of L.A.

I took a tour of L.A. today. I've never taken one before and it was a lot of fun. L.A. is a fascinating city. We saw the whole city by bus, and it was a ton of fun. Even the rain was fun, because you were inside the warm and cozy bus.

I would recommend this tour for anyone who interested in seeing the city again through the eyes of a tourist.

X-mas party at work

My co-worker asked me about our x-mas party and if we needed to desss up. I laughed because I thought it quite humorous. This year our x-mas party will be from 3 -5 p.m. Yes, folks, think "happy hour."

I am quite happy with this because I personally don't like large x-mas parties and our company personnel can have a good time any time there is alcohol. And I assume happy hour includes alcohol. I am sure it will be tastefully done.

I'd much rather have my job vs. a big x-mas bash. I rather like the new economy cost cutting measures.

Received Permit for New Bathroom!

I had to pay someone to get a permit for my bathroom.
It was quite expensive, but it was the most efficient way
to get the work done.

The young man who got them for me, did an excellent job. He was
surprised that I a homeowner requested the permits - usually only
construction companies request his services.

I was impressed by the workmanship of the plans put together. The next step is to put in the rough plumbing. Once that's in ... my bathroom is almost done. Yeah. This makes my place much easier to rent.

Focus Groups - great for quick cash!

I picked up a focus group this week, and netted $200 cash for 2 hours of my time. However, It wasn't really worth it when I factored in the commute. If you are interested in picking up some cash through focus groups try Craigslist. Every once in awhile you qualify for something.
