Eating some chocolate babka and enjoying my last free morning. School starts tonight!

In charge of the office again..wow the office manager gets alot of vacation time and hordes them until the end of summer..getting buzzed every minute or two by the boss with stupid questions..I'd be happy to go home and go back to bed...6 more hours

 

[WJenness]

Looking forward to my Vegas trip for work in a little over two weeks.

Going with a few co-workers, my girlfriend and a bunch of friends.. .should be a blast...

Too add to the anticipation, I was just talking to my (rather attractive female) co-worker about our Vegas trip and the following two phrases were uttered that made me look forward to this trip even more:

"My sorority sister who lives in Vegas"
and
"My Leopard print dress"

This should be an interesting trip...

Back from my doc 's good news the 8 hr event on friday was a non threatening event caused by breaking thru the floor of the threshold for one of the drugs ( a normalized event which resulted in a 8 hr predictable spike in heartrate based on my level of workout intensity ) The ratye went down fri nite and has been fine since

Easily fixed by just adjusting the strength of the drug to 1.5pills ------------ so im back on workout schedule at cardio rehab and can keep my level of intensity .

Next is travel to Syracuse on WED for Surgical team evaluation thats when i ask about SKIING

 

[WJenness]

Awesome news warp... You were too good for that drug... LOL... nice work.

Great stuff Warp. Take the team out for a round after the evaluation.

I just woke up from a nap. After driving back from PA today, I crashed hard. Still sick, but feeling somewhat better. Gonna get some grub, take some drugs and try to get back to bed. I have folks coming to see me from my corporate office on a new technology trial on Tues/Wed. Ugh.

Our Sectional Championships will be at Vassar on Mother's Day weekend (I'll be behind the computer making the magic happen...

NCAA regionals in the spring are around somewhere, not sure who is hosting them this year... It's usually in the Boston area or in NYC... Though Cornell does get to host it at some point.

Other than that, it's mostly Boston area stuff this year (I decided to take this year off from USFA National Events as the vacation time requirements are a little much for me with the new job).

Great news, Warp!

I survived my first class. Anybody have a copy of The Great Gatsby lying around that they don't want? She won't let me use the edition I already own and I refuse to shell out $10.50 for a used edition of a book I already own from the co-op.

Thanks Carrie!

As a former college educator ,whenever i hear stories like that one about the book i wonder why in hell anyone needs to control at that level ?


I was always more concerned about outcomes ---------- i e "here are the course objectives here is what u need to know --------------how YOU CHOOSE to achieve that is a matter of personal discretion ---HERE are my suggestions for several POSSIBLE RESOURCES etc etc etc . If you need to see i am available at etc etc We will have X # of exams and 3 oral presentations of 5 minutes this is YOUR education i 'm here to facilitate learning and encourage the development of your potential . Class participation will be important "

I had a similar debate with my wife. We were both in her brothers wedding a month ago. She had the seamstress add an extra couple of stitches to close up the front of her dress to show less rack. I was not happy with the choice... :-( But she still looked great.

Must be universal. I have the same conversations with my wife all the time. She always looks great though.

Seems silly to me but this is one professor who wants things done her way and her way only--nothing else will be accepted. I emailed her for the book list a few weeks ago and she actually responded that she felt I would not be able to handle her class if I could not drive 30 min to the bookstore and get it myself. (Mind you, my little terrors tried to rip apart the bookstore last year and my car only gets 14mpg...but whatever...) :roll:

Just back from my daughter's check-up. Went well. She's still off the charts for weight and height but proportionate and her weight is coming down. Passed the hearing and eye exams so that's good, too. Her doc is awesome. Our insurance gave us problems with paying for my son's hearing test (and lead test!) so I declined for my daughter--she wasn't exhibiting any signs of hearing problems anyway. Her doc wanted me to have her checked out anyway though so he offered to do it free of charge. Eye test, too. He's a great guy!

On to cleaning up the house a bit and preparing for my class tonight...

Wow, she sure is full of herself. Her life must suck that she needs to take it out on her students.

Anybody who starts saying "I know professors who do this job to be the most powerful one in the room" and continues slamming other profs is one who obviously has issues, KWIM? Still, she's only requiring 2 4-page double-spaced essays and a final exam for the bulk of the grade. There are quizzes but no other tests. Just like with any other boss I've had to suffer through, I can figure this out and get through it.
