October 23, 2000 Once again, I'm sitting here burning CDs. Well, the other things I must do today are not nearly as entertaining. Like laundry, dishes and homework. This weekend was mildly interesting. I figured out that the chain of command at work is very messed up. The people who are chosen to be "team leaders" are not necessarily the most responsible people at work when it comes to doing their job. They might waitress well, but they do not do the prescripted side work which we are supposed to do, and they are supposed to make sure that we do. I find it amusing and sad. Just another example of my screwy screwy job. Oh...a further rant....those of you in relationships.... it is NOT necessary to sit in places like a computer lab or a restaurant when there are not many people around and make out....all that matters is that there are people around. People trying to work or eat at a restaurant, or people trying to use the computer labs, do not need to be subjected to having to watch two strangers make out. Its not fun or exciting for us. Thank you. October 20, 2000 Mmmm....me tired. As usual. Things are pretty normal here. Not a lot going on. I taught my first music lesson on Monday. My student is an adult, and is a flute player, so its pretty easy. She can figure out fingerings herself, so its just technique and tone tone production that I have to work with her on. I'm currently burning CDs. There are CD-R drives in one of the labs here at school now. Very very nice thing to have access too. Especially for icky icky Music History class, since we have to listen to the music we are learning about, and have listening parts of exams. Grrr... it takes forever, especially when it occasionally gets errors and ruins the CDs I'm writing to. That's about it. I will return later to bore you all, after this weekend. October 15, 2000 Good morning. Not a lot is new here. Worked all weekend. It was homecoming, so there were many many drunk people out and about this weekend. Drunk people are annoying. I think I'm going to kill or maim my downstairs neighbor's little yippy lap dog. It was barking for about 15-30 minutes straight this morning. And of course, me going outside to start my car only makes it worse. Silly me, thinking I can go to my car without being barked at. I just got out of class....we were talking about how books smell....and sniffing books...or at least one member of the class and the prof was. Odd. Did everyone hear about the USS Cole? Sad. And scary. To realize that every person in the military is a target for terrorists. Sara not like it...of course. October 11, 2000 Good news. I'm going to start teaching oboe lessons. I got my first student yesterday. Going to start on Monday. I'm excited. If nothing more than getting $15/hr. Just found out some disturbing news. I was looking at this site's statistics. The main page is most often searched for at http://www.anzwers.com.au/ and the top search words were "spanking girls". And this shows up as being 100% of visitors who have searched and found my page. Very very disturbing. Can someone explain to me why??? Ok...more statistics....for my old news page (ramblings.html) the search words used (at http://www.excite.com/) are "UWEC and naked"....HUH??? This frightens me. A lot. October 6, 2000 Me again. As you probably have noticed, I'm redoing the site. Due to things I'm learning in my wonderful document design class. Although the FrontPage workshop taught me very little. I figured most of it out on my own. And since I only have access to FrontPage at school, it looks like my time spent redoing this site will be limited to the hour I spend in the computer lab between classes on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. In other news, me and Tamara's plans to create a city wide plague scare were thwarted when it turned out that Tamara did not have Tuberculosis, which we were going to use propaganda to portray as being a plague. Besides the obvious loss of amusement, we were planning on cashing in on the scare by convincing people that the only way to escape this plague was to donate money to our personal college funds. Now we'll either have to find a real plague-infested person, or come up with another idea for monetary gain. |
