Work Internationally

i found the bit about the American lady working in Delhi very interesting. Further, there was this comment from an american who had settled in Thailand. Very interesting. I find it amazing that people are so entrepreneurial and take life altering decisions based on thoughts and possibilities and don't sit around in the comfort of familiarity. That is what perhaps makes great people and great societies.

Casino Capitalism

The word “Casino Capitalism” caught my attention. This is an interesting read in terms of why investing in the stock market for retail investors is like playing in a casino. It apparently is also penned as a book.

 

It additionally links to an interesting blog.

Nerdy Joke

A desperate woman writes to the Technical support Guy,

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and I noticed a distinct slowdown in the overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as
Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as  NEWS 5.0,   MONEY 3.0  and CRICKET 4.1.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.

Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate Woman

DEAR DESPERATE Madam,

First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.

Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme. html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.

If that application works as designed, Husband1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Silence 2.5 or Beer 6.1.
Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do,
DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)

In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.

You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance.
We recommend:  Cooking 3.0 and  Hot Looks 7.7.

Good Luck Madam!

Tech Support

 

Another interesting site..

www.yourtrustedtradesmen.com
BTTradespace.

Should investigate this more..

This excerpt is from linkedin

Hi everyone my names Michael & i own and run www.yourtrustedtradesmen.com , I have only been going 6 months or so and have already have a page rank 3 from google. We also have had over 130,000 visits to our site in that period. I have signed some 550 tradespersons or service providers. I have acheived all this by lots of hard graft by blogging everywhere joining related forums, press releases ect ect, also i only charge £40 a year or 60.00 dollars US for a ad on my site which is fully designed and worded by myself. That's enough about me i wanted to talk about a networking site run by BT called BTTradespace. I came across it some 5 months ago there you can advertise your business website to over 330,000 members for FREE you can create your own online community, they have a forum you can blog ,post videos, pictures of your products ,podcasts sell and loads besides. Since joining myself i have seen a increase in visitor numbers to my site grow by over 40% i have also have signed over 60 members from there wanting to advertise on my site. So i would highly reccomend it to anyone here to give it a go as another outlet to get their name out there. The link is http://tradebusiness.at/YTT12

Living the map

I read about an interesting adventure by a Daniel Seddiqui. This person is traveling across 50 states in America (one every week) and holding a job in each state. So.. 50 states, 50 weeks, 50 Jobs.

 

www.livingthemap.com

 

Apparently, the inspiration is to see the different kind of jobs available at one’s disposal. Most of them are entry level jobs. Its quite an adventure. Could check up more details in the site above.

 

The Best Job in the World

This contest attracted a lot of attention. 34000 people applied for the job with 60 second clippings of who they are and why are they apt for the job.

 

The job involves being a caretaker for a few islands on the barrier reef for 6 months with a $150000 (Australian $) salary and all paid accommodation & perks.

Check out the site above for more info.  What I am interested in is seeing the 50 videos that were short-listed. I am sure it will give me tips on a short & sweet introduction that one should have for people.

I liked this quote a lot.  A very different kind of quote. I feel it is not the regular “gyan” kind.
