I was reading on the Forbes.com news website that the “hottest” job trends are in the “green” market. The article indicates that Washington DC, Boston MA, Houston TX, San Fransisco, San Diego and Las Angelas are all going to be huge markets for “green” industries.
I sure hope that’s true. We could use some job growth around here! Lately it seems to have been all “doom and gloom” news about the economy and people losing jobs. We sure need more jobs, and better jobs right here in the area!

I like to buy a new computer every few years, but then I have the problem with what to do with my old one. People tell me to donate them to schools, (or churches) and I’ve tried to do that, but when I call the schools (or churches) and offer them my old computer they tell me that if it is more than one year old they don’t want it! There’s really nothing wrong with them, it’s just that usually the new computers have larger drives andfaster processors and I decide that I want the extra storage and faster speed. I’ve even tried giving my old computers away over freecycle, and no one seems to want them over freecycle either! So they end up filling up space in my basement, just gathering dust. Very sad. I suppose that I COULD donate them to Goodwill for them to try to sell in their Goodwill store. I think I’ll give them a call and find out if they take used computers!
