What are you doing right now?

[Warp Daddy]

I finished undergrad in 99...and got a job right away. I was pretty sure I was "done". But the company I work for offered a good tuition reimbursement program. It paid for like 90% of my degree. I had to take advantage of that. It was "fun" going to school while buying a house, getting engaged and getting married! :???:

Pretty similar experience :

BA studies @ 22
Masters studies @ 39
Doctoral studies @ 43

And at one point earlier n my career was DEAN of Continuing Education and Non - Traditional studies , so i have a SOFT spot for ALL non trads who are willing to make the effort.

-- YOU guys ROCK !!! Keep going -- it's WORTH it !!

I tell people I'm done with school for good. I'm only now reading magazines and repair manuals. :lol:

I've learned to never say never though. Who knows what the future will hold.

6 this semester; 6 more anticipated in the spring. I can't wait for the month off. I'm going to ski as much as possible during that break! Aside from winter break, I have to take classes year-round in order to graduate in May 2011 like I'm planning. Painfully slow when you can only take 2 classes at a time.

Next semester looks to be the Science of Linguistics and Restoration & 18th Century Literature.

I was taking 6 credits a semester, but I've scaled it back to 3 for now.I have no ETA on when I'll graduate.

Well I don't have any kids, so that's a little easier.

I'm in the Telecommunications Program, which is under the Computer Science Department.

Busy morning....Woke up and had to get my smoker and all the crap that goes with it into my car, we're having an election day BBQ at work. I've got 6 racks of ribs going right now in the parking lot.

We had to run out and get food supplies at BJ's and that took forever. Ribs should be ready around 1:30. I should have gotten an eariler start, but I wanted to go vote before I came into work.

Nice relaxing day around here. I'm letting people go vote on company time if the live less than 30 minutes away from the job.

Did the same thing (vote on company time, not the ribs ) today. Even let one of my hygienists borrow my car to vote, as her Tahoe was in the shop having some work done. Happy employees make my life so much more enjoyable

Right now, I feel like my office is a kindergarten classroom with all of the kids that are scheduled this afternoon

 

[severine]

I'm tired. It's dark. I want to take a nap. Instead, I'm actually thinking of taking a chance bringing the kids with me to vote. I need to get out of the house.

 

[hardline]
