And other fun stuff too.

I feel like a kid who can't wait to get home. I almost feel worthless being here at work. Not focusing on anything but fun stuff and toys.

Ok not a toy per se, but I love using it and it's the first time I've been healthy enough since before Thanksgiving.
And yes I had a very weird childhood... I recently realized that this game my nanny would play with me ( that I truly loved) was really just her penning me up in a blanket and bouncing the blanket around. I was convinced she had me in a blanket pouch and was jumping around like a kangaroo... sigh. She was only my nanny for a year, but I really liked her better than her replacement.

That's the kind of nanny game that you don't want the parents walking in on.

PARENT: You're doing what to my child?
NANNY: I'm playing the let's-wrap-the-kid-up-in-a-blanket-and-shake-it-around game...
PARENT: So, you're essentially half-smothering and vigorously shaking my daughter at the same time?
NANNY: ...Well, of course it's going to sound a bit weird when you put it like that.

lolz XD totally.

I hate college. officially.

my books for this semester are going to cost me *AT MINIMUM* $289, which may not seem like a lot, but when you're on a college budget and some of the A$$hole professors change texts every semester so you can't return any of your books for reimbursement, it really effing sucks.

That is exactly why I prefer to be dumb and uneducated.

Smarts is overrated.

I do get to wondering what I can learn next. Seems few things give that old 1st grade lined paper giganto pencil with no eraser learning how to write letters feeling anymore. I don't know everything and there is plenty out there to learn. But I try not to muddle up my brain with stuff I won't use. It makes me forget other things and takes up needed space for other thing.

lol i hear ya. College wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have to have gen ed courses that we're NEVER going to use @_@ but i guess it's just another way for the institution to get money from you. Why can't colleges be specialized so all you're learning is your major, and a minor if you want it? why all the extra bullshit? @_@ *dies*

My old college book trick was to buy them on amazon.uk.co or whatever the UK site is. Textbook costs are supplemented by the government there (thanks UK taxpayers

). Now that the dollar is tanking it might not be much of a savings.

I know a guy who is going to spend 300+ on just one textbook. I think it is some French literature. One kind of work can you get with that knowledge. It better pay good bucks.

Well speaking as someone with a lot of impractical knowledge..sometimes it's just nice to know for it's own sake.
Oh and they make you take generals so you're not a one note moron who only knows your subject area and can't find Yugoslavia on a map
OK and amazon uk is a great choice for textbooks... also you can find places online that'll buy your books back. My least favorite thing was when the professor assigned the book they wrote..

the 'classics' are overrated @_@ ive studied them (not by choice really) and haven't found a single one i've actually liked (except shakespeare, if shakespeare is considered a classic, and even then there are only a few of his plays that i love). i dont know why people extoll them so much, they're awful.

i understand the gen ed things, but why do they make u take so MANY? i'm not a moron who cant find yugoslavia (which technically no longer exists since it was broken up into so many little pieces, unless i missed something since 2006) on a map cuz unlike some ppl i can retain information lol. it just seems like an inordinate amount of extra stuff that takes away time from me finishing my major ><;;

I'm gonna try amazon uk then, cuz my campus is practicing extortion once again with their ridiculous prices. Extortion.

I took a series of math courses from Algerbra to Calculus that required two text books and seven courses. Don't ask me anything about any of it. I have never used it. But I have to admit that I enjoyed it. So this may be his reasoning. If you find a subject that interests you, then go for it.

The good thing about varying classes is that it get your brain to work other ways than just the main studies you are in. Mostly they get in the way and use up valuable money better spent elsewhere. But it works to excite thought patterns in some people.

My boss keeps whinging about gorram MSDS sheet which isn't my ferking job but I'll do it just to shut her up. The Cook/Housekeeper is the one responsible but she whines over every little thing. I'll just get the damn things done with already. And if anyone wants to bitch I'll just pull out the job descriptions which clearly states who is responsible for the household/facility chemicals.

Anyhoo, looking to do some fun stuff this weekend. How 'bout y'all?

I would totally go for four 10 hour shifts and a 3 day weekend each week.

Also I think everyone should check this out http://citizensbriefingbook.change.gov/Home

Register and start voting. It's pretty cool that someone in the government actually wants to find out what we're concerned with. I really hope this page takes off and Obama does like a monthly thing where he answers some of the top issues.

They are sheets that detail info on chemicals and such for various people involved in the facility including fire/rescue. It's actually the cook/housekeepers job to deal with them but trying to get her to (not) do something else in her job description is too much of a hassle.

Almost almost enough. Just gotta make it a little while longer.

I did forget babout the three day weekend until yesterday so there is a bit of incentive for anyone who gets it.

Finally made it to level 24 on CoD4 last night. For some this is an easy feat. I'm not that good (average 7 kills a game) and I only play an hour a day (on average). Better than that is the new 80gig PS3 now sitting in the living room. Taking back the used 40gig today.
