What makes people happy? Friends, sex, and short work commutes – NY Daily News – StumbleUpon. This is good to know. Well two out of three isn’t bad right? :)
Is it just me, or is anyone else having problems with the new StumbleUpon with their mac? It seems that when a page has a video and you ask it to stumble to a new page it is non responsive. That is a glaring fault. I suppose I could just drop videos, but it also happens with animated gifts. I am using Chrome and the latest version of flash. I wonder if this is a flash bug?
So I am going to share more of what I learn in my daily life. I am taking my friend’s car to the dealer to get an emission test. I am really curious how that will go. When I used to live in Chicago, they had dedicated state places for emissions test. I wonder why industry is trusted with this task?
Anyone had an employment drug test? It was for a job at a University and they hadn’t even done a background check yet. I went to the facility some distance away in Chicago and it was crowded! There was a huge waiting room with at least 100 people in it. It took awhile for my name to be called. Fortunately they had lots of magazines.
Why am I sharing this with you? I was thinking about it the other day how recruiters often ask if you have any problem with a drug test or background check. I always say no because I know I’m clean. Background checks are always done, but I haven’t done any more drug tests. I wonder if drugs tests are becoming more expensive?
Has anyone taken drug tests more than once? What kind of industry were you working in?
I had a friend who did a few months ago and he explained it was a pretty easy process. He said he went to the Cook County Marriage Certificates page. It turns out that it only takes about $50 to get married in Chicago.
So is he happy now after a few months of marriage? Yes. He said that having a partner is one of the best things in his life. I didn’t figure him for the marrying type but you never know do you?
One day it wouldn’t surprise me if Apple offered marriages in the store as a service. People have done it many times before. It would be fitting since many people share their lives with so much apple technology.
