Aww thanks Kelkhil. By Friday I might need more than one.
I've even got an undercover assignment this week. A student who's notoriously difficult to observe because he figures out he's being observes and adjusts accordingly.... so I will be the new " temp" aide in his class for 3 days from 9am-1pm. then I have to cram all my other school visits, meetings, and behavior plans/observations/trainings into the 2.5 hours left and the hour before...

RF/LF: Sorry to hear that you're grounded again. I'd suggest that you do what you need to so that your grades go up, but that's just the teacher in me. (The cynic side wants to point out that you may as well get used to what all adults have to do -- jump through crazy hoops to get what you want...and right now, the "want" is the privilige to go online...) Feel free to take that with a grain of salt.

MsA: Ewww... I'm sorry. I don't envy you the "undercover" and the backlog of work you have to do.

SR: Wait...so holidays means you work an 8-hour day, two 12-hour days, and a 4-hour day? *boggles*

I hate roadworks... they turned a really simple journey down a straight road into a 2 and a half hour run around looking for my destination. Of course, when I was giving up and just heading home defeated, I drove past it. So all was alright in the end. But if you see someone doing roadworks later, give them an evil glare.

To clarify: I only get 8 hours of holiday. I have to come in and make up the other 4 hours if I want to get paid for them. If I do not make them up then I will not have worked 36 hours and do not get the 4 "bonus" hours which bring me up to getting paid for 40 hours of work. Sorry for the confusion.

Do you think that if I offered to come in and work on stuff for four hours on the holiday they'd take it well?
Me neither.

I'm home, and I even managed to get stuff done. I'm half listening to the inaugural ceremony on NPR. The rest of my attention is split between here and my lunch. Ooh! Aretha's on!

Well, lunch and the peaceful transfer of power are over. Here's hoping neither leaves anyone with indigestion!

Hmm. I am slightly off to the left field; I homeschool my kids. I guess that means that all their work could be classified as *home*work*.

Yes, it's boring, but it serves a purpose. I found that if you keep your nose clean and you do the work, you can get into the fun colleges, get the good jobs and then do what you want when you grow up... rather than struggling with mediocre income. But that's just my opinion!

*stumble-teleports in* phew, wow, *long* day, but not really a bad day. my classes seem like theyre going to be interesting (even though one of my teachers came off a *little* condescending and stuck up this morning, hopefully it was just because she was trying to insure people would actually *work* in the class), except i think my Creative Writing class (i'm a writer for those who don't know) is gonna suck. My teacher is an awesomely nice and enthusiastic guy, but he's stressing poetry, and I can't stand poetry >< can't write it either, and I've had lots of opportunities to write for class assignments, never went well.... In any event, we'll be doing a short story in that class too, looks like this semester should be fun ^_^

Listen to this woman LF, she speaks the truth. I never did homework, didn't get good grades, didn't go to university and have only had crappy jobs. Don't get me wrong, it could have been much worse and I've still had some awesome times since leaving school... but I constantly wish I could have put the effort in then rather than need to think about making up for it now.

MsA is insane. Don't forget that.

I didn't do my homework. Fuck homework. Never really studied for tests, either. Yet I got into university, got my Bachelor's Degree with two minors (really no big deal), and have a high paying job. Hu-fucking-zah. On the other hand, I know plenty of people who did their homework, went to college, and still have shit jobs making shit money living a shit life. The point? Anything can happen.

Also very true. Especially the bit about MSA being insane. Good point and well made. I ended up going to Dragon*con and loads of other crap I wouldnt have had time/money to do if at University all this time, and some of my friends that have went to uni are still no better off than I am. So I can't complain too much. I just really wish I put a bit more effort. Ah well.

My fault for the sudden influx of advice on homework and life after school. Tho' my thought has been as still is "get used to jumping through hoops" (it's easier to hear than "we know and want what's best for you"). Sorry.

True enough (and may I say that I was one of those who strugged in college and ended up in a shit job).
Again, my point for the unsolicited advice: Get used to jumping through hoops to get what you want -- that's real life. If I work for a living and want to get paid and live comfortably but the current workplace situation is sucky? Gotta learn to deal with it, do what the boss wants (within reason) so that I can get what I want. Simple as that.

Well hello...

Long week, already had to put a server swap back a fortnight, things falling over all round and my personal favourite, trying to arrange for a stack of monitors to be safely disposed off, company delivers some wooden boxes, somebody unloads them with a fork lift to somewhere they shouldn't, the boxes it seems get carted of by pallet disposal who apparent dispose of the pallets by burning!

Sometimes I hate people!

Hope everyone else is good and have to say, I am very jealous of HK's amazing construction skills, I'd end up with one useless usb stick if I tried to make something awesome out of it, ah well, at least I can play the drums pretty well.

well, a bunch of people are going to be very angry with the unidentified person who got them all parking tickets in the commuter lot today XD. ppl on this campus don't really know how to drive, or park, and there's about half a row of people who are double parked. I got blocked in by one of these people, so I called the dispatcher and she called the owner. Meanwhile my boyfriend, who is pure fucking magical with cars, came down and managed to squeeze my car out through a spot diagonally up from mine (thank god there was no one parked directly next to me or this would have been impossible) without any damage to either of the cars parked to either side of this mini-cooper-sized spot. So I called the dispatcher back and said "yeah, the car's still there, but a friend managed to help me get out through a small open space near my car. but there's still a row of double-parked cars sitting out here." and of course her response was "okay, we're going to send a car down to *forget the word she used, but i think it was a synonym for 'remedy'* the situation." They didnt tell me to stay put, so i went home to defrost my slowly numbing body ><

From what I understand from talking to him about it, the rules in Navy's neck of the world are a little different. They don't have graduation the same way we do, and if you don't pass everything you don't get to do it over and you don't get to go to university. (and they refer to the education level we think of as 'high school' as 'college' which just adds to some confusion) If you want to go to university, there's not the option to test in or take remedial classes like there is here. At a certain age, you can do adult learning or somesuch, and go to a university. Seils isn't at that age, though, so he can't be in school right now, even if he wants to. At least this is his story, he might just be lazy

My grades were decent in high school, despite minimal effort, I just didn't enjoy it at all so I left. There were years thereafter of crap jobs for crap pay, and I enjoyed myself even less. Higher level edumacation has been much more enjoyable than high school ever was, I'm glad I went back, not just because it's going to get me out of miserable crap jobs for crap pay.
Speaking of class, I'm in class right now, and should really be doing something productive, but I am technically done with the assignment for today. This web design stuff is pretty cool, I'm even enjoying the coding aspect! Exciting.
And I managed to have the time and money for DragonCon the last couple years, even being in school

Gosh I hope I make it this year

Anyway, I thought I should pop in to see how everyone was and confirm to those that might be wondering that I'm still alive and well. Been meaning to do a blog or something lately, since I've found myself wondering what's up with everyone and thinking they might be wondering too, but I haven't done that. I'm a little sleep deprived, sorry for the non sequiturial kind of babbling.

We don't have a parking attendant on campus (way too many parking lots) but if there were I doubt they'd tell ppl they can double-park, because the cops on campus ticket HEAVILY for parking violations. There were plenty of spaces open in the lot, they just parked there because they thought it was a valid spot (due to the other @%$#@ parked illegally) and they wanted to be close to the bus stop :P lol its amazing how viciously ppl fight over parking spots that are close to the exit/bus stop.

You're kinda right rose. You can do it over, but if you want to go to Uni at school leaving age and dont get all the required grades for a subject at the same time, usually they up the requirements. After school one can go to college and sit the same classes you did in school, but again, the requirements change. If you are classed as a mature student, which I might be getting close to, then they often lower the requirements so long as you attend some type of refresher course or something before the main event. It's not impossible for me to still attend Uni, it would just have been a hell of a lot easier if I got it first chance around.

and me going to uni for music... that must be more trademark msa insane talk.

hey Kel, HK,

how you doing today?

First down day of the year at work, in fact all three of us are feeling like crap but at least its quiet.

Anyone ever have any problems making decisions? I'm usually pretty decisive but running this stuff round in my head for a few months. Guess cause it's all about music and that's how I've defined myself for years so even though in the grand scheme of things pretty insignificant but can't make my mind up. Then me and other half made the decision to move house in about two days and already had a pretty successful meeting with a mortgage adviser so just need to get the flat sold.

I'm a keeping my fingers crossed for a good stunned for HK, I'm a loving PR's H2G2 reference and would just like to say, "Here I am, brain the size of a planet..."

I seem to have unbridled joy for human kind, it can't last so take advantage whilst you can.

Hey all, had a great workout this evening, feel like I could juggle anvils.

By the way Kel, I haven't forgotten that's a second time you killed me, I am plotting a revenge, I just like to take my time about these things. But I do sympathise about the on call sleeping, although I know why I don't, earplugs when you need to hear the phone is a bad idea.

Very happy to hear HK's news and don't care what you say, I don't think you're a horrible person

Good review = good.

I always seem to perform to expectations, but I'm not sure what the heck they are.

I'm still not looking forward to the meeting which has not happened yet, and I want to get it over and done.

I'm trying the 12 hour/3 day thing for the next six months to see if it makes me less unhappy. If I do not perceive morale as having improved at that point I will have fulfilled all contractual obligations and will be sending out resumes. Outta there. On to something new.

The hospital which is about five miles from my home has posted two positions in Labor and Delivery, but they also are asking for experience. I have enthusiasm, not so much on the been there done that side of things. OB nursing can be a bitch to get into because the nurses hold onto their jobs FOREVER and do not leave that often.

Six months. I have given it six months to improve. In the meantime I'll be boning up on all the stuff I've forgotten in the last 4 years of non-use.

Oh, I'll have a beer please?

Friday, January 23, 2009 11:53 PM

Em whats with the new bar?

well for all those keeping score I sat my exam on Tuesday, it went alright I guess not convinced I pass or that I failed.

In other news I watched the first episode of 24 and no idea what was going on, because according to friends I need to watch the movie first.

I have also released that two things are missing from my life.

1. Is a girl called Summer Glau.

2. Is the show T:TSCC

My sister informed me today that On St valentines day I will kind of be spending it with Summer as that will be when i can watch the first episode of the back 9 of season two of T:TSCC.

Does anyone else think she has too much time on her hands?

*ofers FLT a "fun" food allergy -- bell peppers!*

Ugh, I hate when I find out that something I ate has bell peppers in it. (Stupid food allergy -- lucky me, though, 'cause all I'm doing right now is itching from the miniscule amount that was in the sample I had) *sigh*

Kel: *innocent* Me? Need to be watched by you? I'd never do something so nefarious that you'd need to worry about me.1

NVG: See, that's where you're doing it wrong. You need to get the fun gold and silver paint pens and do what the kids did in intermediate school years ago....use 'em as blow pens to decorate things.

MsA: Forgot to respond to the 8-year old...yep. Some parent should have been forbidden to procreate. (What was he doing in school with spoiled milk btw?)
I've said it before, and will say it again: Teaching should take its slogan from the PeaceCorps.... 'Cause it truly is "The toughest job you'll ever love." ('course sometimes I think that love == delusion == mild insanity.)

SR: Good luck with a) the morale increasing and/or b) getting the OB nursing position (whichever one works out better for you).

Well thank you and I truly mean that, sadly Alien vs Predator sucked, it could have been so good but sadly, the predator's were not fully fleshed out characters yet, and they did not talk English as with the end of Predator 2.

There is a few films I think that work with for any event. They are: Blade Runner, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, T2 and of course Serenity.

All the best films pose but one true question.

What does it mean to be human?

I own mammoth on DVD but that's just for Summer cause I was once mega obsessed with her at 21 years old!

You should ask Freelancer she helped me through that, am surprised she's not around she's usually around this time of day? night? whatever.

Not seen any of the others ones I don't think, deep blue see was ok but am a lover of film, mostly from the direction and writing side.

I even have a short few scenes in script form with a characters named Adam and Summer, to be honest its not what you think and its prob some of my best work to date.

I made it in homage to Heat, you ever see that movie?
