Just finished my last final exam, so I'm officially done with the semester.  After getting past the 1/3 mark of the program, I can't help but think a little bit about how things are going.  This has particularly been on my mind in the last week as I've gotten closer to a break and a chance to catch up on the neglected parts of my life ( Read more... )

A couple of months ago, one of my co-workers was overheard saying something about how funny it would be if someone wrapped her cubicle in tinfoil for her birthday.  Now, you just don't say something like that without it being remembered, so she came in to a very shiny surprise this morning....

We didn't go to this level of detail, but this was our ( Read more... )

Got to do a little traveling in the morning for work (only to Novi, but it's still out of the office!).

It's tendonitis.  Of course.  So I have to wear a wrist brace for a while and get work to order me an ergonomic keyboard like this.  Won't help much when I'm at home on my laptop, but it's something.

Busy weekend:
Tonight:  homework.  Blah.  But I have to get ready for class tomorrow.

Tomorrow:  Class all day.  Blah.  Then I have to race out to ( Read more... )

Stress.  I never knew the meaning of it until now.

We're in the middle of finals at school.  My stats final is tonight, and my marketing take-home final is due on Monday.  They will both be really tough, and I have to do at least decent on both of them in order to take the classes I want in the Spring and Fall (I have to apply for a credit-limit ( Read more... )

Every year, Parade magazine does a section of reporting on what people make.

It makes me sad about a couple of things.  One, what our country seems to value.  They explain that 2007 was actually a year of economic growth, but most people didn't feel it because most of the growth happened among those who are paid the highest.  And if you look at the ( Read more... )
