Are you happy at your current job? Do you think there's such a thing as a dream job? What do you hope to be doing five or ten years from now? Are you working towards that goal?


View 984 Answers

I don't think anyone has ever been happy working at walmart. I do think there is a dream job, but I also think that most people never find it. As for what I want to do, my dream is to be a college vocal music instructor. How am I working toward that? I'm not currently. That is something that requires at least five years of college and I am going through a custody battle that is draining me dry. So, no dream job for me. Just mindless drudgery.

Speakers are vital, sometimes headphones just won't cut it, but the gadgets that I CANNOT live without are my mouse and keyboard. I have a microsoft Trackball Optical 1.0 that I have replace with an identical one three times over the last 5+ years. My keyboard is a Microsoft Natural Multimedia(ergo) that I adore. This is the third one I have had of this model. If I have a choice, I will never use anything else.

From the design to the features, what should the perfect kid-friendly laptop include? What would you leave out?

Well, I think that most important is a spill-proof surface and keyboard. Also, kill the trackpad and put a side-mounted trackball(used on laptops from the early 90's). I think that the standard plastic shell should be forgone in favor of a more durable material, maybe an alloy of some sort. Shock absorbers is a must, and a good speaker set. Also the power adapter port is one of the most common parts to break on laptops, so that should be reinforced in some manner. It should weigh less than a standard laptop, but it could also be a little smaller. A keyboard with slightly larger keys would also be a plus. Putting colored outlines on the keys, marking which keys are used by which hands in typing tutor programs. Also including typing tutor, net nanny, and key logger programs(only accessible by parents) would probably be a good idea. It should come preinstalled with something similar to the Comodo Internet Suite(free firewall and antivirus in a single program) and either AdAware or Spybot S&D. Also, since this will be a first computer for many children, a multi-boot system should be offered from the manufacturer so that children have the opportunity to learn multiple OS's. Some learning games, and a few non-learning games should be included, as well as full kid-friendly tutorials for all the included programs. iTunes should come preinstalled, due to the prevalence of iPods and iPhones today.

I used to have an '88 Olds Cutlass Calais, basically a four door rollerskate. I was in the back hills of southern Indiana in July of '99 and I encountered about a 40 degree downgrade, with a hairpin turn at the bottom. When I entered the turn, I hit a patch of gravel and went straight sideways into an eight foot deep ditch at about 35 miles per hour. The car was completely totaled, yet I was completely unharmed.
