Digesting dinner naked? No problem.

You pay a LOT of money per class, and if they're not delivering, you should at least get to take the course again at no charge - and should probably get some sort of refund.

At the very least they should refund our contact hour fee. Not that I'm holding my breath. That's what should happen, not what will.
I hate college bs as well as math. I will gladly go to town on this professor as well as the bursars if yo wish.

Grrrr - in order to take Friday off, I need to basically work for the next 24 hours straight to get everything done before taking said day off. Boy I need a vacation...

Good news. Orientation was a blast today. I'll be starting my new job as a security officer in a week and a half weeks for Allied Barton.
Wahoo!
Ah, in the middle of class now. Doing crunch on a character while I half-listen to the lecture.

Best conversation ever with my roommate:
Me: "You know, I just realized that I know four openly schizophrenic people, and they all have extensive record collections. You think there's any sort of correlation between the two?"
Roommate: Long pause. "Well... don't date a chick who collects records?"

that's awesome. One of my best friends works for allied Barton. What's your beat?
Don't know yet, but it will be either one of the mills in East Chicago or Burns Harbor for Mittel. Good gig from what my friend has told me. We're going to check out the sites tomorrow or Friday.

I just received an e-mail inviting me for a job interview on Monday. I'd name it a positive beginning of the day.
*moves Monday game session on another day*
Good morning FAWTLY Folk! Happy Thursday! I hope everyone has a spectacular day!
More so than I hate taxis.
Buses drivers here in Philly are absolute lunatics. I've seen them do things that scared even me.
shakes fist at the sky
Damn you cold weather!!!! We don't want you around here!
No, it's not that cold yet. I just figured I'd get a head start.
Also: traffics sucks ass.

I'm telling you, if the universe wised up and put me in charge of who gets a drivers liscence, things would run a lot smoother.
Last night's episode of Supernatural was hurting. I think we're definitely seeing the last season in play.
Or, as I like to call it: the show that Grim ripped off from!
We now pause for a short break.
I think I like Phil Collins better when he's with Genesis.
Crap cakes on fire! My wife actually just passed a big truck! Will wonders never cease!
They're building a new hotel on the old Navy base where I work. This is a good thing. It'll have a restaurant, which means another place to eat lunch.
Hopefully it'll also lead to even more development, which'll mean even more restaurants and other associated thingses!
Gonna be a cloudy day it seems. Bummer. I like sunlight.
Almost at work. Back in a bit.

So, part of our morning ritual is that we get to the work, walk in the building, and part at the stairwell (I work upstairs, the wife works downstairs). As we part, I usually give the wife a kiss on the cheek.
This morning, after the kiss, I start walking up the stairs and some dude I don't know says:
"Where's my kiss?"
Right there, I knew it was going to be a weird day.
But, I've had my first cup of coffee, and my Grandma's Mini Sandwich Cremes (Vanilla), so I'm pretty well set.

Day two of orientation and training. Wish me luck and positive waves.
At least that wasn't TotP. That would have been....awkward.
If I recall correctly, my buddy works for Allied Barton as well. Here in Philly, though.
Sometimes, I can't help but think the younger guys working with me are a bunch of smarmy little bastards.
Used to be we could joke about workplace violence. Hell, I used to joke around that I'd never come to work with a gun, that I'd go old-school and use an axe.
Can't do that anymore really. Too much of that s+!! turns real and real bad.
Meh, I still like to joke about stuff. It drives my boss crazy, but that's how I keep my stress levels down.
