I visited the school that does the training for the A+ certification. The training for this one test is $3000. Three thousand dollars. THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS ( Read more... )

picara and I were discussing how we plan to get tattoos when we graduate. picara's would be something like the scales of justice, mine would be an open book with the pages flapping. My mother, the English teacher, (who thinks tattoos are stupid) heard this and interjected, "I'm going to get a tattoo of Shakespeare on my butt. It'll say 'But, soft!We just ( Read more... )

Coincidentally, both (approximately) the time since my last update and the time till my birthday! Even more coincidentally, my shoes are getting old. (If you got that, MARRY ME.) Anyway, I don't feel bad, since picara hasn't updated since Bill Clinton was president. (And she never reads her flist, so she probably won't see that totally awesome insult ( Read more... )

God, work is boring. There's nothing happening except that stupid spreadsheet I mentioned yesterday that I don't want to work on. H left at 3, so at least I don't feel like he's monitoring me. H will, however, be in at the regular time tomorrow. I know this because he sent out an email telling everyone he would be late ( Read more... )

This is my new favorite icon EVAR. It was made by iconzicons. Also, it is appropriate, because today sucks very much. Classes start today, and my teacher still hasn't made the class accessible on Blackboard. H, my boss, is being an asshole (as per usual). I'm trying to decipher this obnoxious spreadsheet that was created before I started working here, ( Read more... )

I'm reading a series of posts by guest-blogger Sara Robinson at Orcinus. It's a fascinating look at authoritarianism and what prompts people to leave authoritarian groups like fundamentalist religion. I don't know how interesting this is to anybody else, but I'm endlessly fascinated by what I guess you'd call the interplay between religion and ( Read more... )

I've decided to register for two classes this fall, probably Library Automation and a special topic on Genealogy in public libraries. I've spent the last couple weeks deciding if I was ready to do this or not, and I can finally say that I feel really confident about it. So, ideally, I can take two classes in the fall and two in the spring and be ( Read more... )

Let's see, what's been going on?

Dr. Jeng is trying to fire me because I'm only registered for six hours instead of the supposedly-required nine. I'm still trying to sort this out, but it's freaking me out. It will probably work out, but that's not very comforting to me right now.

etumon is a sweetheart. She let me come and hang out with her last ( Read more... )

Reference? Is FINISHED! I just turned everything in. EVERYTHING. Then etumon and I went to Chili's to celebrate. School is finished for the year!

School is closed today. I didn't realize that until I was actually *at* school, because, silly me, I assumed that, since the roads seemed fine, school would be back on schedule. I had forgotten that this is *Texas*, where we close school in *anticipation* of snow. Not that school being closed does me any good, being as I'm a Distance Ed Student ( Read more... )
