MacBook Wheel

I was on YouTube checking out the new Microsoft Office 2010 when I came across a video from The Onion Network. I had never heard of The Onion Network. As I was watching, the reporters began to cuss. The style of reporting caught my attention. The cussing in my opinion reinforced the question of why people do some of the dumbest things.

The video I was looking at was about the MacBook Wheel. The story and interview seemed legitimate, but I did not know why would Apple come out with a product not user friendly. The laptop is keyboard free. A large wheel like the one on an ipod takes the place of a keyboard.

For now, the MacBook Wheel is one of the dumbest products I have seen, but sometimes some of the dumbest products have a purpose.

School

A couple of days ago I was talking to my cousin in California. He was telling me about this fifth grader who had Fruity Pebbles laced with marijuana. At first, I was thinking how was a fifth grader able to make such a concoction. My cousin did not know the entire story because he did not pay attention, but I had to investigate.
At school, student shared the treat with several students. According to the report, the students who ingested the snack was minute. The snack came from the fifth graders older sister. The older sister said she got the treat from a medical marijuana dispensary. Last time I checked, the older sister was under investigation whether she got the pot legally.
Whether the kid got in trouble or not, he probably made some money.

Job

At work, I was scheduled to work this whole week. On Sunday, I received a phone call from Ashley, the scheduler. Ashley said I was canceled for Monday because there was a shortage in cars. Today, she called me again because I got cancelled for Tuesday.

I was cancelled for two days in a row now. I wonder if there is a real shortage in cars since the number of cars that need to be tested has increased. I knew it was to good to be true. Before I was only working Sunday and Wednesday, when all of a sudden I get scheduled to work 40 hours a week.
