There has been a huge fight over who has the rights to Peruvian gold lately. Many illegal miners have been mining the gold found in the forest lands of Peru and have been using the very toxic chemical mercury to separate the gold into nuggets. This is an environmental disaster.

The Peruvian government has been trying to enforce laws against the practice and this has led to armed fights against the miners. The streets of many mining towns are very dangerous for everyone. I hope the government of Peru can control this illegal practice and stop the pollution and destruction of this damaging practice.

Most of my days at work are hectic. The good thing is that when my time is up, there are others who show up to fill in the gap. Today was not one of those days. It seems that all of the night shift was unable to work for one reason or another. That’s when I had to take action

I called for replacements but no one seemed to be available. I stayed on until some people finally decided to show up. I am glad to be home but tomorrow is sure to be another busy day. I hope I am up for the challenge.

One item in the news lately has been the plans of the country of Canada to expand their gas and oil production and delivery. After a failed attempt to have a pipeline built from Alberta to Texas, they are exploring other options. Now they want to deal with China.

They are proposing a 731 mile pipeline from their oil sands to the coast in order to easily deliver their gas to China. I certainly wish that the Obama administration could have worked out a deal with Canada so that we could have their gas.

Since I am rising up in status at my job, I am taking on more and more tasks. It seems that the higher I go the more things appear on my desk. I don’t mind that so much as long as the compensation rises with it. That has been happening so far. One thing I have noticed lately is that we need more exposure to the public. It seems that nobody knows who we are or what we do. I wanted to change that if I could.

I looked into some of the various ways that we could advertise. The newspapers were one way and maybe a few radio spots would help as well. As I looked into the situation farther, I realized that I would not have time to keep up with all these things. That’s when I came up with the idea of using an Advertising Agency to do this work for me. After all, it’s good to let the experts do your job whenever possible.

I think I have come to a great conclusion. I will hire some people who can assist us with getting our name known. Though we may have to spend a little money to start with, the pay off will be big in the end. I believe that those who are higher up in my company will agree with my ideas. I certainly hope that they will as our company needs to grow. I believe that using this strategy will help us do just that. I guess we’ll just have to see if I am right or not.

While many states have been suffering the effects of the bad economy, some states are doing well. The state of Alaska has actually enjoyed a surplus this year and has plans to expand their roads and bridges. Another state that is doing well is West Virginia. They are paying back some of the money they have borrowed before.

I believe that as a whole, America is still a strong nation. When one state suffers, another will come shining through. This is what makes America great and I believe in its people. I hope everyone else does too.
