  A guy at work sent me an email with a link to Ing's orange account. Basically, for your money you get a annual 2.35% return on your money. He was shocked by how small it was. I had heard about it some time ago. Of course, that rate doesn't even keep up with inflation. It's just silly.
  In other news, I've just gotten a new car. My old Ford died. It was something electrical and I figured that it probably wasn't worth saving. So, I went out and bought a new car. The old one had almost 200,000 miles and this new one has less than 65,000. It's a 2000 Toyota Echo. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is an automatic. Of course, with 35 miles to a gallon, I think that I can get used to that. Hopefully I can drive this thing for many years to come. Until I can drive it into the ground like I did the Probe.
  I saw one of my co-workers wearing a work shirt with his name on it. The former place of employment? 21 and Up Movie Rentals. He told me that he was a manager of the place but his job title on his shirt was "head clerk." I guess that was some kind of joke. He didn't find it to funny. I was just shocked that he walked around wearing the shirt. Well, that and the fact that the video store would have uniforms. Not the kind of place you would expect to find professionalism.
