When you are a very young kid, you are told to write by your teachers and parents. “But I don’t wanna write“, you cry, and you write. Growing up, you develop a liking for writing, but don’t want to write long pages. Your parents and teachers tell you to write several pages on your own. “But I think 2 pages are enough“, you frown, and you write.

I was working on a Word document that I’d saved on my desktop. The document has a lot of few pages, and as I was writing, I kept going back to change things I’d written already.

I saw over a 100 temporary files on my desktop, created by Word to save the changes and edits I’d made on my document.

Try calling the technical support of any phone company you use, whether for a cell phone or the landline, and see how long you have to wait to report a problem.

Now try calling the sales department of the same company to sign up for a new account.

The technical support call is answered in no less than 3 minutes, while your call to the sales department is answered in less than 45 seconds.

I saw two gas stations on Wednesday, an Arco and a Shell, on opposite sides of a busy street. Both were offering the lowest gas at $2.29. However, the Arco station was completely empty, while the Shell Station was almost full.

Do you prefer a certain kind of gas for your car, or do you know someone who doesn’t like a certain brand? All gas stations have the same grade of gas available, as required by law. I frequently hear about how Arco is bad for engines, but I have yet to see a real live example or evidence pointing to this. What do you think? Even if you don’t have a car, do you look at different gas stations differently?
