Taking pictures

Last night I tried to take pictures with my digital camera turned out to be a big mistake. The picture of what I wanted to take was a star or a planet that had an orange tint to it, and it was located in the southeast part of the sky. Though there was a slight overcast of clouds but still could see the brighter of the stars in the night sky that could be seen through the clouds last night. It turned out that I didn’t have the right set up for a camera to take pictures at night.

Anyways, the pictures that I did take of this one star (or it might have been planet don’t know though) didn’t come out right and I generally try not to post a sub par photograph on Flickr.

One thing that I would like to get is a high end SLR camera but not really a digital SLR. Having both would be nice but at this point I much rather have a film-based SLR. Though its just a matter of saving money to get a brand new film based SLR – if there even made by different OEM’s to choose from. I would like to have more than 2 choices when it comes to choosing a new camera, don’t know why, but its the way I like it or want it that way for some reason.

One thing…

I have noticed recently at various places, which I won’t name here, have, to a point, high-turnover in employment of people. Its unbelievable what the turnover is like at several places here in Fairbanks (AK).

Granted I could see where some people are coming from and the like. However, its not to much to say that it could be the management style of the business or people not fully doing the work at their place of employ.

But, then I could be asking for torture, since I could, however unlikely, that I’m thinking if the people at my old job would welcome me back or not, it could be worth a shot or not. Who knows in what could happen about that.

Anyways, as you might have noticed by this post I’m trying to get another job or at least I’m looking and putting in applications around town. Just haven’t heard back from a couple of places but I wasn’t expecting a call from those places anyway. I tend to like to put applications in when I can, just for the sake of trying at the possibility of getting hired on.

Plus, I like to work in groups most of the time and in other times alone.

At this point I’m babbling like a rabbit ;-)

laters all

A story about Alaska & Tuberculosis

I found this story because its in Alaska and since its a story that I found a little disturbing, to say the least.

Its about Tuberculosis cases are growing in a region of Alaska. The story is 2 pages long.
