New Phone

We got an incredible amount of money back for our tax return so I decided to trade in the Brick I currently have for a new phone. I am keeping the Boost Mobile line because I never use my phone. It's good for emergencies and staying in touch with wife and children. That's about it. So, I do the pay as you go. I got a flip phone with an actual camera!! Woooooo! There is also some games and it has web access. That won't be ready until tomorrow, but that's okay. It Will be nice to check stuff like yahoo and stuff when I am no where near a computer. I realize that all of you probably have more sophisticated phones than I do, but this is actual a huge leap in technology for me. Now, if you'll excuse me I need to program in my contacts into the phone.
And then there's the godawful marketing class. Bleh!
So, I had to mention the marketing class so here I am. We have been split into groups. I have three young men in my group. I'm sure I have clothing older than any of them. Hell, I might have a son older than a couple of them. Anyway, we are doing our semester long project where we have to come up with a new product and present it to the class at the end of the semester. One of the kids picked our business and he looked puzzled. He handed it to the next kid who also shared his puzzlement as did the third one. At this point I'm thinking it's some new, hip hop gangsta rap company of some sort and we are screwed. Then I was handed the paper. Printed on it in black letters was the word;

MATTEL

None of them who Mattel was.

I am so screwed. On the plus side I do get to come up with a new toy.

Seeya!

This is just a test...

So, finished up a new episode of Baron Morbid. working on flyers to help get the word out. Just took a test in Computer Lab that id did average on. Bleh. I get to cut out of class early to help Seann, my oldest, get some affairs in order. Seems the lad is a bit disorganized. I blame his mother. Okay, that's it for me today. I'll see you all later. HAve a great weekend.

Sooooooo...?

Anyway, have a test tomorrow in Marketing. I can't believe how much I hate that class. Hopefully I do well. Have to wait and see. Anyway, did the taxes with Martha and we made out like bandits so that's gonna be a fun time with loads of cash. Get somethings paid off and fixed and all that. Now it's time to study and drink Guinness.
Seeya!

Here I am again...

So, Tuesday so that's Marketing and Small business. Can't stand Marketing and the woman who irritates us gave us a quiz. No idea how I did. Thursday is the exam so, we'll see how that goes. She also gave us this sheet for when we are available to work on a class project. How about for when I signed up for the damn class! Sheesh! Anyway, I got my first assignment done for Small Business and hand it in after the break. I think it went okay, but we'll have to wait and see.
The snow came back, but it's got zero accumulation and the rain destroyed all the ice on the trails so my speed to downtown has increased.
Oh and everyone in the house is coming down with some kind of crud. I think I'll burn mine out with vitamin C and alcohol.
Wheeeee!
Seeya!

Homework

So, I got halfway through my math homework that is due this evening and I hit a snag. Seems there is a part where they want a check registry and a bank reconciliation filled out. Yeah, I kind of wanted to get a couple of bucks back from my books so, how do I do that? My prof told me I can just copy it by hand onto a piece of paper and work from that.
In other news my daughter's boyfriend, yeah still not all that happy with that, got hit by a car. Before anyone worries it just ran over his toes on one foot, smacked his knee and brushed him back so, in other words, he's fine.
We took him to the emergency room and I saw something that just boggled my mind. Here was this big sign near the door that said, in no uncertain terms, NO SMOKING HERE. That was it. Pretty damned obvious. In front of it was this old, mean looking woman and she was, that's right, SMOKING IN FRONT OF THE SIGN! Man, some days I just don't get it.
Now, I'm off because I just realized that I have a paper due tomorrow and I'll need to write that before I got to class. No biggie, just an article critique. Been doing those for movies for decades, this shouldn't be all that difficult.
TAH!

Onward!

So, another day and halfway done with school for the day. The teacher gave us an assignment where we have to watch the friggin' Superbowl! I don't watch organized sports, but I'm sure with a little internet savvy I will be able to catch all the commercials she mentions in the assignment handout. The more I take of my marketing class, the more I hate the thing! Anyway, got to have a lovely breakfast with Martha beforehand and I need to go and drop off the new episode of The Basement Of Baron Morbid before I bike to the Waltz Compound.
Fun, fun, fun.

Second Week OF School

So, I'm n marketing class and we went to the library to get an article to critique. I picked one on coffeehouses and it took five minutes. They gave us a half an hour and so, here I am.
First class we did a group exercise and that was...well, it was lame, but if that's what the teacher needs then it's a hoop I'll be happy to jump through. The article critiquing shouldn't be more difficult than the movie reviews that I do on an almost daily basis so that will be an easy 20 points towards an A.
I need to stop at the school and see if Dan The Man can ride the bus after his after school stuff. Today it's a history club that he's working with and he's researching the guy who invented the Atari.
That's my boy!
Okay, I've got ten minutes before I have to be back to class.
The student lounge is very nice and I like the free computers they have in here. Apparently, they also have free XBOX's I will have t check into.
Gotta go.
Seeya!
