Reruns Of The Office
The article written by Frances Blevins
Although The Office is still producing new episodes it is still possible to catch reruns on NBC and other channels that cable tv offers. I can never get enough of the day to day events of Dunder Mifflin, even though I have seen most of the episodes two or three times. It has almost become an addiction, where I have all the seasons on DVD but still find myself watching them all the time when they are on TV.
The Office is a made in the style of a mockumentary that follows the day to day happenings of the fictional paper company Dunder Mifflin. Set in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the workers of Dunder Mifflin are well aware of the cameras that follow them around the office. Manager Michael Scott loves the extra attention that the camera's provide, often times pulling the cameras aside so that he can talk to them. Other members of the office are not as thrilled about the cameras, such as Angela the accountant, who would like nothing more than to get back to work.
As the show progressed, it broke free from the office setting and began to focus on stories that were happening outside of work. The first story of this sort was when Michael began to date his boss Jan. Although it didn't work out for Michael, it did provide viewers an opportunity to look into Michael's condo for the first time. Another important storyline that happened both inside the office and outside was the marriage of Jim Halpert, and receptionist Pam Beesly. The show can often be found later at night, and is a great show to start watching if you have never seen it.

Biden Came To Town And Inspired Us All
Vice-president Joe Biden came to town and gave an inspiration talk. It is not one republicans would like to hear though. He revved up the democrats in attendance and reminded all of us that the country's mess is not their/our fault. Republicans get tired of hearing them say they inherited the mess. But they did. On their first day in office, before they had time to do anything, they were handed a bill for the nation's debt. It was about a trillion dollars, he said. If that isn't clear as to who is to blame, then what is? And he is right: Why would we want to get those same people back in the White House that brought this mess on us in the first place?

Need To Reassess My Insurance Policies
As I am trying to focus more on my finances and getting my life together, I want to reassess my insurance policies and make sure I have what I need in the way of insurance, including car insurance, and that I am not spending more than I should.
I am sure that after I got that speeding ticket on vacation, my car insurance rates will go up, but hopefully not. Or hopefully not very much. I have updated my longterm care insurance, and my rate is still amazing low, because I bought my policy at such a young age. I need to get disability insurance as soon as possible. I think my homeowner's insurance is up-to-date, but I better check that again. I do need to focus on disability and car insurance though, and make sure I am covered the way I need to be.

More Problems With My AC
When is this going to end? My AC unit is again freezing up and not cooling. I have a serviceman coming out Saturday morning and hopefully he can fix it. I just can't afford to buy a new one right now. I have thought about it because of the tax credit and state rebate. Tempting, but still can't afford it. Need to keep it running for a few more years.
Needing To Sign Up For Disability Insurance
I am a few months away from applying for disability insurance. I used to have it where I previously worked, but do not have it through my current employer. And that is a real shame. It is so much harder to get an individual policy than to be part of a group disability policy. Many people get turned down. I hope I don't. I am putting applying off for a few months, but want to make sure I apply before my next birthday, so I don't get into the higher price category. I need good but cheap insurance. Hope it works out for me.
What To Do With All The Receipts
I am in a cleaning out mode now. Cleaning out closets, the laundry room, the spare room, etc. And I have too much paper! Too many papers from law school still around, too many magazines, newspapers, receipts from an epson receipt printer, old birthday cards I don't want to throw out. Good golly! What to do? All I know to do is sort through and throw out a little at a time. But I need to step it up. I want my house like it used to be.
