My son is now looking for a new company. It’s not that he doesn’t like his current employer, but he heard about the huge benefits the other company offers to their employees. The company is actually considered the biggest bank in the country. And, they got the most impressive salary package for employees. That is why my son is attracted and tried his luck.

He submitted his resume personally to the regional HR head, but she immediately turned him down in that same moment. She said that my son doesn’t qualify to become their employee because he is a biology graduate and he doesn’t have any accounting subjects. Well, it is understandable. But, she told him that he will give him a chance the next time he will submit his resume granting he takes at least 20 or more units of accounting subjects.

My son then inquire to schools if they can help him take accounting subjects. Sad to say they refuse because they only offer regular subjects for regular students. If that is the case he will have to spend another four years in school since most of his subjects don’t match the subject line up for accountancy course.

How many gallons of water do you take to wash your plate? Well, I’m sure many more than you might think if you let the water run while you are washing dishes. Many faucets use as much as 3-5 gallons per minute. Conserving water during this daily chore could save hundreds of gallons a month. Why don’t you try the following:

• Fill the sink with soapy water instead of washing dishes with the water running.
• Use smaller amounts of detergent so less water is needed for rinsing – you just need to have bubbles to cover the surface of the water – not enough to make a bubble beard.
• You may let your dishes air dry in a rack. There are a lot of cool, durable designer dish racks that you can use.

Doing this will give you these benefits: You can preserve natural resources. The average water usage is between 80 and 100 gallons of water a day while two-thirds of the people in the world uses less than 13 gal/day. You can also save money on water and water heating utility bills. Install a faucet aerator in your kitchen and bathroom faucets and you could save 13% on your water bill. And, this will reduce pollution. Conserving water helps prevent municipal sewer systems from overflowing and pouring untreated sewage into lakes and rivers. So, think about it now!

I’ve been very tired today doing all the laundry, cleaning the house and so much more. All I want to do is lie down and take a sleep. But, that won’t be possible until nighttime. Good thing my kids are here to cheer me up. They have been joking around about buying a car piece by piece. They said it is better to buy some auto accessories one by one and then assemble it after. Hahaha! Kids are kids.

They don’t know what they are talking about. But, it puts a smile in my face, which is good. It eases the tiredness I feel. They added that they will build a house little by little. And the conversation just got anywhere. I’m just happy to have my kids around.
