Scientist were recently shocked to find that life endures on earth in the strangest places. After drilling a hole 600 feet deep under the Antarctic ice sheet, they found a surprise. The first surprise was a three inch shrimp called a Lyssianasid amphipod. The next surprise was a piece of a tentacle believed to be part of a one- foot long jellyfish.
The animals seem to defy scientist’s notions that nothing could survive in this area. There is no light and no known food sources. The hole was more than 12 miles from open sea leading to speculation that they couldn’t have swum there. This also opens up the possibility of life on other planets as some conditions would be the same there as here.

There has been much speculation about when and if Tiger Woods will return to golf. Many of those who follow the game have been awaiting his return for awhile. Tiger stopped playing after it was revealed that he had an affair on his wife. For those who are his fans, there may be good news soon.
Since Tiger has returned from family therapy, he has started practicing again. There are rumors that he may return in time to play the Masters at Augusta National in April. While he has refused to speak on the subject, sources close to him are hinting at the possibility. The future will tell if his return goes well or not.

One thing I like about my job is that I have a lot of leeway when it comes to providing for my employees. The main office almost always approves any request I make as long as it is reasonable. While I don’t want to abuse this trust, I do take advantage of the offer when I feel it will benefit the company as a whole. That’s why I decided to approve a request to have Lockers installed in our break room.
We have many employees and security has been a problem from time to time. I felt that by giving people a good safe place to store things would be a good idea. I thought it would also show that we are committed to providing a nice working atmosphere. I started looking at the different features I wanted and the prices of Lockers for sale. I went to morelockers.com which is a good place to start when looking for these items.
There are many types of lockers. Some you may find in a gym or a school, but I did not think these types would look all that great in our break room. I did find something I liked though and it was a Wood Locker. There are some really nice ones and they look great. They way they are designed would allow us to have plenty of locker room in just a little bit of space. They would also fit in with our décor. I am glad I decided to approve this purchase; I think I made the correct decision.
