The Spotlight is on Seattle
From 10am to 5:30pm all I did at work was to do some blog-hopping since we ran out of requests/projects to work on.
Let me share some of the interesting topics that I chanced upon:
1) SEATTLE, WA is the most EDUCATED city in the U.S (See picture below)
Vemsan’s Two Cents worth:
Upon reading this headline to my coworkers, one of them blurted out
"Why not Boston, where Harvard and Boston University are situated?"
Well, maybe because
university/college graduates from not just the U.S but around the globe, flocked to Washinton state to work for Boeing/Microsoft/Amazon. So maybe, that explains why Seattle is the most educated city in the US.
2) It has been raining in Seattle for 19 consecutive days now
Vemsan’s Two Cents worth: Nothing to be shocked or alarmed of. That’s a normal day here in the Evergreen state.
3) How to steal I mean save Youtube and Google videos (read more)
Vemsan’s Two Cents worth: I
have not yet attempted to do it but I will in the coming days. But of
course, I’m planning to have a complete video collection of
Koreanovela’s Full House and Attic Cat (available on Youtube)!
3) You can order a stronger and better Starbucks Cappuccino for a cent less than the so-called "Preferred Starbuck’s Customer" size (read:Tall) read more
Vemsan’s Two Cents worth: Am not into Starbucks or coffee in general though, I have my interview tomorrow at Tully’s Cafe in Bellevue. Barista — sounds like a fun job! Still I don’t drink coffee. harharhar
Sakura Teriyaki’s Chicken Teriyaki with salad and rice
Went to Jiffy Lubes
this morning for an (my car’s) oil change. In Oak Harbor, it cost me
around US$40 for a full service (oil change + vacuum services) but here
in Kirkland it amounted to *gasp* US$110++:
US$60.00 = Fuel Filter Change (they said I have to change it every 30 000mi. Never I recalled having it changed since last year)
US$1.00 = Environmental and Shop Fee (?!)
US$26.00 = Service Fee
$10.00 = Fuel Upgrade
Add Sales Tax (8.5%)
===========================
I
know nothing about car detailing so I consented to the above services.
Besides, whatever it cost me/takes for me to be safe on the road, I’ll
go for it!
Finally always remember…..
