http://jematthews2.blogspot.com/2009/11/ever-wonder-how-some-businesses-stay-in.html

Life On The Beach. Rants and raves from an under-employed media professional who needs a life, but finds comfort in blogging instead! Thursday, November 12, 2009. Ever Wonder How Some Businesses Stay In Business? NOTE: Let me say upfront that I hit a small speed bump in my quest to keep up almost daily with my blog. It's just that I've actually been working this week - and unbelievably, that has a way of interfering with my blogging! I might have to rethink this business of actually being employed! Mr 6,...

Life On The Beach: Hold The Line, Montgomery County!

http://jematthews2.blogspot.com/2009/11/hold-line-montgomery-county.html

Life On The Beach. Rants and raves from an under-employed media professional who needs a life, but finds comfort in blogging instead! Thursday, November 19, 2009. Hold The Line, Montgomery County! I have spent quite a few column inches in this blog. The Washington Post has an op/ed piece today. That makes an excellent argument to County Executive Isiah Leggett and School superintendent Jerry Weast to hold the line on pay hikes and cost-of-living increases, but it will be a mighty struggle for them to hol...

Life On The Beach: Excuse me... WHAT?

http://jematthews2.blogspot.com/2009/11/excuse-me-what.html

Life On The Beach. Rants and raves from an under-employed media professional who needs a life, but finds comfort in blogging instead! Wednesday, November 4, 2009. Excuse me. WHAT? One of my current projects is finding a contractor to replace the railing on our deck. The current rail is 13 years old, and truth be told, it needed to be replaced probably 7 or 8 years ago. See the picture - you'll see I'm not kidding! I started to wonder whether he wanted to price himself out of contention - that for some re...

Life On The Beach: Remember - You Get What You Pay For!

http://jematthews2.blogspot.com/2009/11/remember-you-get-what-you-pay-for.html

Life On The Beach. Rants and raves from an under-employed media professional who needs a life, but finds comfort in blogging instead! Tuesday, November 17, 2009. Remember - You Get What You Pay For! Two articles of note in today's news are conspiring to open up my "bad things" compartment. First, Fed chairman Ben Bernanke is giving a pretty glum assessment. For news online, and that those who would pay - would only cough up three dollars a month for it. And the Washington Blade - DC's voice in the gay co...

Because It's Not The Thought, But The Discount That Counts! Even the traditional retailers are getting in on the act - They don't want to lose any more market share to the likes of Amazon, and consumers are benefitting as a result. Wal-Mart and Target are currently engaged in a pricing war for books and DVDs. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Life On The Beach: This Just In! The Washington Post Reads My Blog!

http://jematthews2.blogspot.com/2008/05/this-just-in-washington-post-reads-my.html

I opined last week. In one of the paper's top op-ed pieces today. The Post says the county council NOT only raised property taxes this week AND preserved the eight percent raises, it ALSO gave cops a 14 percent pension increase, gave firefighters a compounded three-year 28 percent pay raise, including an 11 percent.

Life On The Beach: One Man's Trash...

Life On The Beach. Rants and raves from an under-employed media professional who needs a life, but finds comfort in blogging instead! Friday, November 20, 2009. What's amazing to me is that we never seem to run out of stuff we really no longer want. My dresser was literally bursting with clothes- it had been a while since I had cleaned it out. By the time I was done, I had literally stuffed half of the dresser's contents into the bag to be given away. After I finished with the dresser, I went into my clo...
