Ha ha - what a waste of time & gas!
So, Tuesday my favorite office manager stopped me in the hall to ask if I was one of the ones who volunteered to help organize the annual office chili cook off. I told her no I wasn't, but said I would when she asked if I could help. So she told me we would be meeting Thursday at 10 for our 1st planning session.
Thursday rolls around, and here I am waiting in the office foyer for the meeting to start, it was basically the only reason I came into the office, everything else could have been accomplished from home. 10:05 she tells me the meeting fizzled out but me, her and one other guy go ahead with it. So it went something like this - What do you think of this flier? Take that off & put it on legal. How big should teams be? 5-8 people, same as last year. Will we have outside sponsors? - No lets close it to the public and let it just be our people.
So I asked if there was anything that needed doing, people to contact whatever, nope, I'll let you know if there is anything!
Sorry, but at $3 a gallon, that just wasn't worth my time!
In other news I have a job interview tomorrow morning at 10. Its nothing special, just a full/part? time job to make ends meet at a major electronics store in the area. I haven't decided what I will do if I get the job at a decent wage. I have a couple of clients I am working with now, so I guess I'll try to remain in RE at least part time for now, and make a final decision before I pay next years HAR TAR & NAR dues.
I keep dreaming of going back to school, but I am also trying to be realistic.
John & I have always said we'd get him through school first, and I guess I've been waiting for John to say ok thats what I want to work towards, here is how I am going to approach it, here is what we can do/apply for to make it happen. But sorry babe, you haven't done anything like that, I can't do it for you.
So I think if I can get a decent wage, I'm just going to bite the bullet, and check into financial aid, apply to UT main campus and attempt maybe a Spring or Fall return to school. I want to do it, I need to do, and there is never going to be a "right" time so what the hell.
It would have to be a major part time deal, 1 maybe 2 classes a semester - I have to get pretty much perfect grades from here on out to ever hope to enter the grad program in my chosen subject. 3.0 for the masters, and 3.5 for the phd.
I miss musty libraries, long afternoons writing, late nights studying - - - I know I must be insane, but I loved being in school in so many ways.
Bla, bla, bla I'm going home.
