This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Haagen Dazs. All opinions are 100% mine.
You know what, I love me some good ice cream. My absolute fave is Lapperts in Kauai - but you can only get it there in Hawaii! So, as far as ice cream you can buy at the store - I am all about the Haagen Dazs. In fact, I love their vanilla and their rocky road varieties. And all of the ones with the honey bee on them.
In related news, Haagen-Dazs has this original online web series that is called Passion Profiles that you need to check out. This original series does profiles on some of Canada’s most intriguing personalities. In fact, you can catch singer songwriter Jann Arden on the Sept. 8, 2010 episode of the online show. The show is hosted by ET Canada’s Cheryl Hickey. You should click on the link and check it out.
The show really makes me think about things. Like what I’m passionate about. Right now, it is about working on all of my websites and getting them to a profit point. I am also passionate about my fave actors and musicians. I really love music cause there is something for you no matter what your mood is. That is what makes me passionate about music. My fave musical life moment happens each time I am at a live concert. What about you?
Slacker Tips #223: The Art Of The Quick Cover-Up
As an effective slacker at work, you are probably accustomed to listening for people approaching your cubicle. Nothing can end the slacking at work quicker than someone coming up to your desk and catching you.
So, what do you do when you get surprised by someone approaching your desk?
You do the quick cover-up.
Just press ALT + F4 to immediately close the window that you have open on your computer. Keep in mind that if you are running Firefox from a thumb drive, like I do, it will not close without asking you if you want to save the open tabs. Just a warning.

Slacker Tips #222: Creating A Fake Job History
If you are anything like me, you have to leave off a few jobs on your resume. You know, the places that found out how little work you were doing and let you go. Er, fired you.
Yup, I have that problem too. But it is an easy to fix problem.
Create your own job history.
First, you need to create a fake company. NEVER use a real company’s name that you did not work for.
Buy the domain name for the fake company. And for heaven’s sake - pay the extra price for the privacy protection of the WHOIS data. You don’t want a potential employer seeing that you own the domain name.
Create a professional looking website for this fake company.
Get a pre-paid cell phone that you can use at the company phone. You only need this when you think someone will be calling for a reference check.
Get a fax number from an online site, such as eFax or another online provider. You likely won’t need to use it - but some employers do fax over reference request forms so you may need to use it a few times.
Put the phone and fax numbers on your website.
The end. That is how you can create a fake company for your fake job history. It looks totally legit, right?
And yes, I’ve done this with much success.
Chain-of-Friends Grand Prize
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.
When you are checking your email at your desk at work, I have another site that you need to check out real quick like. It is the site for the Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes and you need to hit it up daily.
See, the Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes is actually giving away a free stay to one lucky winner and 100 of their closest friends at a Hampton Inn hotel for one weekend. The grand prize winner will also receive $5000 to help pay the tax for the weekend! How freaking sweet is that? Of course, I do not know anyone that could invite 100 people to a hotel with them, but that is another story! So, you can enter this little contest daily. And there is no charge to enter to win.
I would totally order up some pizzas and have all my peeps in the breakfast sitting area if I won this prize. Or maybe have a cool pool party at the hotel with all my 100 peeps. I would even invite total strangers, kind of a act of kindness sort of thing.
If this sounds like your idea of a good time, click the link above to enter daily. And anyone can enter to win! You do not have to be a Hilton Honors member or have ever even stayed at a Hampton Inn!
Slacker Tip #221: Get Dirt On Your Co-Workers
You know that annoying co-worker that is just waiting to tell on you? That person is also probably doing something that they shouldn’t be doing at work. You just have to find out what.
If you can get some dirt like that on your co-workers, you will not have to worry about them turning you in for not working.
Let’s say you see a co-worker playing Farmville all the freaking time at work. On a break you could casually say something like, “I see you were playing Farmville, how does that work exactly?” or something like that. This way, the co-worker knows you’re onto them but you can let ‘em know in a non-threatening way.
Slacker Tip #220: Don’t Flaunt It
A surefire way to lose that cushy slacker job is by flaunting it. I have seen too many wannabe slackers do just that.
A good slacker knows that they keep to staying employed (and getting paid to do nothing) is to make everyone think you are doing something. This means that you must look busy all the time. And for some people, that is just too much work (it’s really not).
This means that you cannot talk about how you are slacker at work. You can’t post on your Facebook about being a slacker (if you have co-workers on your friend list). And when co-workers complain about the job, you just join in with them. They won’t even know you’re faking it.
