I got the Gallery just the way that I want it.
I have all of the old pictures on there, and I have some new ones there too, however if you are not registered you will probably not be able to see them. I have to give you access to them.
When you register let me know, so that I can give you access.
Let me know what you think.
A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow’s final exam.
“Now class, I won’t tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury or illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that’s it, no other excuses whatsoever!”
A smart ass guy in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, “What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?” The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering. When silence is finally restored, the teacher smiles knowingly at the student, shakes her head and sweetly says “Well, I guess you’d have to write the exam with your other hand
This is something that I wrote a long time ago, just thought that I would let it out again
I wonder sometimes if the bureaucracy of the government has a purpose, and if the government really wants people to get a good education. I will tell you why I think this way. I applied for a federal student loan over the Christmas break so that I can continue to get my electrical engineering degree. I sent in what I thought was going to be my last piece of documentation the first week of January, but since the office there “gets thousands and thousands of faxes a day” (quoted to me over the phone), it wasn’t till the 15th of January that they actually put it in my file. Well I called this office in question on Monday asking politely the status of my file, I was told it hadn’t been touched yet since they only got the information they needed a couple of days ago. (you know it must sit there for at least 1 week before they touch it). I was very polite to them and the woman on the phone asked me to give her my contact phone number and she would try to push my application through. I thought that I was just blown off at the time since she hung up directly after I gave her my last digit.

Another one of those Rants that I wrote a while back
I have been wondering as of late where certain people in charge of my schooling get their great ideas. The thing that really bothered me today is how did the University, or the person who is in charge of handling the hiring, figure it is a good idea to get people who don’t speak our language (english) to teach technical courses. I have one teacher who is teaching his first course to us, it is not a simple course either, it is a rather technical, brain taxing course. This teacher seems to be a really good guy, and he also seems to know his stuff, however english is NOT his first language, it actually seems that he has only been speaking in the last couple of years. In most cases this would not be a problem, if you are talking to him one on one, you can get him to slow down if you can’t understand, but in the classroom this can be a very big problem. I should say this, I do NOT blame him, it is not his fault that the teacher who normally instructs this course is on symbatical, and there was no one to replace him. It is the fault of the administration to get him to do this job, knowing full well that he doesn’t have the ability to communicate with an english speaking class, where the majority of the people only speak english. If the class was Asian then there would be no problem, he would speak his native language and everyone would do very well in the course and learn along the way. So why does the University do this, well I think it is because all that is important to them is the research, and undergraduate studies is only a means to fund this research.

So after an extremely long day of work (13hrs+) I get in today and heard something awesome. It seems that the layout of the store that I am working on has changed, and I am expected to reflect said changes on my plans. However the architects have decided not to show the changes on their plans till after the client comes in for a meeting on AUG 26. Mind you that these are only minor changes that will not take too long to do for anyone involved, however I wasn’t even officially told. I heard this all through the Mechanical Designer, because that is what she was told to do!! Now the way things normally work is that I will look at the floor plan and run everything that needs to be powered based on that. That is how this industry works, the Mechanical guys do the same thing. However the only reason the question cam eup is that the Mechanical designer was looking for information and was reading the clients comments to the architects and noticed the change……. Now shouldn’t they change it? I don’t know, maybe I am just being crazy….
