Blogging for a Living

Who knew just a few years ago when I started blogging for fun that it would come to this. I'm actually going to get paid to blog. Not under my name, thank you, but paid to ghost write a corporate blog. The first edition is live, now. No, I'm not advertising it here as I will not advertise my opinions there.

Yea. To write, to espouse corporate ideals, for money I can do it. This will remain my forum, totally unconnected and totally uncensored. The world according to Joe - only seen here.

I'm smiling.

Blister Packaging

What disturbed, convoluted individual invented this? Yes, it's economical and yes it hangs nicely, packs easily but just try to free whatever is trapped in that clear plastic!

When I was in the packaging trade (a fact I'm not proud of, but that's yet another rant), I used to walk past the blister packaging company exhibits while attending Pack Expo, seething, swearing at them under my breath and glaring. If not for the official exhibitor badge I wore I would have given them a piece of my mind.

The only revenge is to take the inventors and those that today mandate the use of this horrifically non-customer friendly idea and blister pack them. Give them vents to breathe and challenge them to escape from within!
