I think first I will concentrate on Microsoft certs this summer. Easy and look nice on a resume. Plus, I have a feeling me and the computer will be good friends soon.Don't they charge out the wazoo for those? It's part of the vicious "keep older people out of the job market" cycle. You can be fresh out of school or have these 20 certs we won't pay for to prove to us that your skills are current. Of course, the certs won't guarantee you a job, you just keep dropping $4-5,000 every few months in a wild guess as to what cert the next employer will want. Certification roulette!
The classes I've seen arent that bad. The local community college will give you a two-week course for $200, then there is a fee for the actual test, I'm not sure how much that goes. Plus it looks as if there is a lot of free online tutorials.
Of course, the certs I am talking about are MS Office stuff. Word, Excel, etc. IDK about the more high-level stuff. I am looking to become more marketable in a purely office setting.

Unless you are planning on going into networking, I would not do much more than the MS Office certs.
OTOH, networking does pay pretty good once you get high enough into the field. (and have enough experience and certs.)

Blood Drive ~Laughter~ This sounds like it would be something that the wife would love.
Not only that, but I discovered that if you entered a negative number on the blackjack game, and deliberately lost, you gained money instead.Ah yes, the good old TRS-80 PC's. Or as we used to call them.
The "TRaSh-80's" ;PYes, the first model had NO hard memory, You had to type in everything you wanted from a program book, (That was inevitably riddled with mistakes, which you then had to go, find, and correct) and you could 'save' your program on, wait for it kiddies,...
A cassette deck. Yep, the old standard Radio Shack cassette player got a facelift so it could be the official hard drive of the TRS-80 model 1. That and a pile of 5-10 minute looping cassette tapes and you could save your programs!
Models 2 and 3 introduced the floppy disk. NO more cassettes! :D
MAN, that memory does not make me feel any younger,... ;P
This makes mathematical sense.

You can't invoke math! You hate math! Who are you and what have you done with the real Freehold?!? POD PERSON!!!!
Do the casinos have negative chips? Or are you just going to print out some chip-sized circles with a minus sign on them and place those on top of the regular chips?I'm going to try this in Atlantic City.This makes mathematical sense.Not only that, but I discovered that if you entered a negative number on the blackjack game, and deliberately lost, you gained money instead.Ah yes, the good old TRS-80 PC's.

I assumed you avoided math at all costs.
Like at a checkout register you just throw some cash at the cashier and run out the door so that you don't have to witness them calculating your change.
OK, I just snorted Mtn. Dew out of my nose. I hope you're happy.

I would have done a combo of philosophy and creative writing.I sometimes think if I could do it all over again, I'd have done a premed to med school path.That is great. I am 32 right now and I want to study Medicine as soon as I am able to afford it (that might be never).
I think it's never too late to do what you really want to do.
Aren't those, essentially, the same thing?!? ;P
I'd have done a hell of a lot more partying and a lot less studying, given that my degree means f~*~ all in the current job market.

I did my hardcover partying in high school, got old for me but then I was hanging out in bars since I was 5.

Exactly! So now he must be a Pod Freehold. If you hang out with him, and suddenly develop an inability to sing and distaste for cooking awesome food, we'll know you've been replaced as well.

first off any Pod Freehold, hence referred to as "Fakeholds", would not only love math but sing the praises of Whedon and Alton Brown on his Facebook page while decrying boobs and encouraging modesty with respect to carnal activity.

C'mon, hardcover parties are great! Everyone brings their favorite John Grisham or James Patterson, we read the best steamy passages aloud, then end the evening with shots and a hearty pillow fight until everyone passes out.
I hope you had fun!
I've messed up badly today with my Witch! I am too used to use hexes and forgot to cast defensively my spell! So I was going to cast Prediction of Failure+Slumber with my Rod of Abrupt Hexes and put the baddie to sleep, but instead he dealt an AoO to me who left me nauseated for 5 hours! My party depended on me (we were under a Darkness spell and I was the only one with darkvision) and we had to Teleport away to survive. D'oh!

Heh pillow fights. The last time I had a pillow fight I knocked the person off of their feet. They looked at me like what the f+#*, who hits that hard with a pillow?

Fakehold also despises snow, I mean REALLY hates that stuff.
Because of finances, I've been without my pain meds (which I have to take daily) for nearly 2 weeks. I got them refilled today. Bliss.

Why am I up at 5am? Stupid circadian rhythms..
One week of staying up at 5:30...
Weekend. I can sleep as much as I want...
I got up past 7 am on both days.
Tomorrow back to getting up at 5:30.
