QOTW

Would you rather work outside with your hands, or inside at a desk job?

Honestly? I think I’d rather work outside with my hands. But maybe that’s only because I’ve been cooped up at a desk for the past seven years. I can’t really think of an outside job that I’d be particularly good at, which …keep reading

Weekends go by quickly these days

I knew that taking a Saturday morning class would kinda put a damper on my weekends this semester, and I was OK with that. Education means sacrifice, and this is the one I chose (alternately, I could have chosen the Thursday night class, and then I’d be complaining about that instead), so I’ll keep the …keep reading

Bookmarks of late – Absolute randomness

Some things I’ve bookmarked recently:

  • Restaurant.com – Deals on neighborhood restaurants. $25 Restaurant Certificates for only $10! – $25 gift cards for $10? $10 gift cards for $4? Makes me want to eat out more. Search by zip code to find out what’s near you (there were 4 pages of Twin Cities results).
  • Famous Waterfalls from Around …keep reading

Thursday? Really?

Things have gotten busy at work, and at some points are quite harried, leaving us support staff confused, running around like chickens with our heads cut off. Several “heart attacks” were only avoided by the slightest of margins.

But, you don’t really want to hear me talk about work.

I did manage to upload some photos to …keep reading

Decompress

I have finally looked it up, and, like I thought, the one class I am taking this semester is, yet again, a freshman level course (the quantity of freshman level courses I have taken is staggering, considering that I was a freshman… 13 years ago). This is made slightly more bearable with two tidbits of …keep reading

Success

The last 24 hours can be summed up by one word: productive.

I had a 2:00 meeting yesterday with my soon-to-be-on-Sabbatical advisor*.  As it turns out, as part of the Social Sciences department, he is the one who can make the decision about whether or not the class I want to transfer in will count, not …keep reading

Summary of Today

Email from one of last semester’s professors requesting copies of my papers because they were the “best in the class.” (He did not say “one of the best” or “some of the best.” He said “the best.”) It should be noted that this is the only professor in the past… 4 years (14 classes) who …keep reading

  5. I’d like your suggestions …keep reading

Thankful

[quickly] for…

… long hair.

… Hershey’s bars.

… rotary cutters.

… sales.

… how fast Wednesday and Thursday have flown by, especially considering how slow the week started.

… hopefully one last free Saturday before classes begin (still working on getting a hold of someone at Metro to see if the course will transfer, however).
