A bowl of petunias which were very surprised
CSI time!
Today we learned bookinb procedures and how to find flights and see how many seats are left and that sort of thing. We booked fake flights and so I sent myself to a couple of fun destinations, then booked a flight for Don Quixote and Sancho Panza to Spain and one for Engelbert Humperdink to London.
I figured it all out in about 20 minutes so the instructor gave me codes to play around with and I helped out people in the class. This poor woman next to me didn't get it at all. The computers were really old, and by really old I mean they were running on Windows 2000, but they still operate on that ctrl+alt+del to sign in. Well, they told us to do that and sign on and someone had already signed on to her computer and the program (SHARES) through which we operate is already open. She's sitting there trying to log in to the system through SHARES and not through Windows. I told her that she could exit out of SHARES because she was already logged in to Windows and she didn't know how to exit a program. Eep. She's like 60, and apparently doesn't do the whole
OMGKIDNAPPINGDRAMACSI
computer thing very well. I explained most everything to her the best I could, and I think she kinda was getting it by the time we left class. I hope she picks it up because otherwise she won't pass and she'll be out of a job.
Came home and watched some fun A&E true crime, found out that my roommate's grandfather was a detective/police photographer in NY in the 30's which is totally badass. She said he had run ins with all the big gangsters of the time, and they had some really cool photo albums of the stuff he dealt with.
(Wow, so Texas... I love you but how awesomely special is your local news? A Galveston cop raped a woman in his squad car while he was on duty and a man in Sugarland claims he's Jesus resurrected...)
I left a message for Jess in case I could figure out how to change my tickets to spend next weekend in Austin, and she's going home this weekend! So tomorrow after class, we're going to jet off to Austin until Sunday!
Holy crap, Showtime came out with another awesome show, it looks like. It's called "Dexter" and it's about a serial killer who works for the police. The catch song? Sympathy for the Devil by The Rolling Stones. You are DAMN right I'll watch any show with that song behind it.
OK, I'm going to go down and get my brownie a la mode, try to make myself eat despite the fact that I'm nauseous out of reason thanks to the ratty CVS up the street not having my NuvaRing, then watch Shark, shower and shave, try to give Wes a call and give Jess a call as well.
You know I'm excited about Austin, MAN am I excited about Austin!
