oh I would, believe me. :lol: The thing is, you can't really find a steady job in that field and that's what I'm focused on at this point. It's like a vicious circle.

I know what you mean. I wanted to be a writer-still do-but so few people can really make a living doing it. So since I love history, I decided to major in that, and still write on the site, which I do. I hope to have a novel published one day.

[*Pleasant Tomorrow*]

You're not alone, I know that feeling all too well, and I am an older person.
I feel your pain. It's really stressful. :(

Good luck, I hope it works out for you. :) I wish it weren't so difficult. We all have different talents and interests...and it seems only people whose talents and interests are in science and related fields can really benefit from it. It gets frustrating for the rest of us.

[dawsongirl]

Me too! I didn't need any athletic credits.
I didn't either, though I know they had classes like Allison had at her school...bowling, etc. Not all "athletic".

[dawsongirl]

maybe journalism isn't for me...it's so difficult for me to figure out what to do with my life -_-
That's why I had at least 3 different majors in college and I'm not doing any of them.

They had bowling at my college, too. Bowling, golf, even archery (!). How about that? :lol:

[HuntingtonM15]

Ugh, I HATE that. I have one teacher like that this semester also. We have these little activities we do(write a short paper on something) and then she wants people to read them in front of the class(she tries to get volunteers and then just randomly picks people). She's now saying that if you don't want to read it you won't even get credit for it. :soapbox: Gah. I haven't been called on yet but I know I will be, the semester is young. :rolleyes:

It's bad enough being called on, I'd hate reading something out loud that I wrote. My professor this semester makes everyone fold a piece of paper in front of them with their name written on it so he can call on people. He's so intimidating, and makes you feel stupid when you don't know the answer. I can't wait until his class is over.

With your great sense of humor and unique outlook on life, I think that you could write a great book, Cathy. I think that you would be our generation's Kurt Vonnegut. I'd buy it! :)

I had a professor who did that entire name thing too. He also made the class sit with our desks in a circle around the room so that we could all see each other. This was Introduction to Western Cuture that I took in 1998. The class could have been fun, but the professor turned it into a really negative experience.

[catniprules]

I had two different majors in school. Mainly because I couldn't decide what I wanted to do with my life.

I started out majoring in Elementary Education. Knew about half way through the first semester that wasn't the job for me. I just got so bored with the classes.

So, the first semester ends and I have to decide what I'm going to do with my life. Hmmmmmm... Talked to my counselor. Talked to friends. Talked to my old teachers. I talked to just about everyone. Finally decided on a different major. Accounting.

Now mind you. Math was my worst subject in school. I took any easy math class that I could. Just to get the credits necessary. My friends and family all laughed. They couldn't imagine me as an accountant.

Well, I went away to school. Got my degree and have been working as an accountant for nearly 14 years now. Go figure.

Right now, I'm a manager for a small accounting firm. Strange how things work out.....

Right now my obsession is Friends(which I never watched on NBC). I've watched 200 episodes(almost all of them) in the last 4 weeks, most on YouTube and a few in syndication. :eek: It's been causing me to be less interested in primetime TV lately.
I've been into Friends myself lately. I watched a lot of it during it's original run, and had forgotten just how funny that show can be.

Ah, disillusion....

As an idealist, I live in a world bent on staggering me away from my ideal. Turns out we can't rely on any of the institutions which we have been told to rely on from birth. The only intitution that counts is family.

This society seems like a massive, ticking, bomb; just waiting to implode upon itself, engulfing us all in the flames of fear, greed and enlightened self-interest....

There must be a better way. Nothing makes sense. I look around at the world/community/society/economy/ and I see hollowness. Trapped in a job I've been told I need to survive, knowing full well that this job will not get me through the coming years....

Brainwashed to believe we can live comfortably and greedily in our own little bubbles forever. When the bottom falls out, where do we turn?

I want to protect my family... I want to sustain my world. Everyone else can burn...

Where do we go from here?

I find myself growing incresingly more radical...

If you're in the mood to look into the metaphysical, I would recommend looking into the New Age beliefs (particularly about the way we create our own realities with our thoughts, beliefs and emotions), the Law of Attraction, and the Seth books by Jane Roberts (Seth was a spirit she channelled; he dictated many of the books.)

Because (not so) deep down, people are uncivilized morons who are afraid to expand their world and think outside the box.

They hang on to their comfort zone and lash out at anything that threatens it.

I know some people are like that. However, I'll have to deeply believe that people in general are open-minded to that sort of thing, which should bring into my reality people who won't make fun of what I believe in.

i hate business math. but whenever i complain about it i remember to be thankful that i'm in the only degree program at my school that doesn't require any credit in the math or science departments. it feels good to know i'm done with all that for life.

[HuntingtonM15]

i hate business math.

Ugh, Calculus for Business was the worst. The teacher was foreign, had a thick accent, wrote problems on the board the entire class and then expected you to figure them out, and he wasn't very friendly. How I passed that class with a B- I'll never know.

Mhm! Physics and Trig are the best.

I don't know why I like the advanced maths so much. I barely passed Algebra 2.

Anything above basic algebra sucks eggs.

We got into the 40s here today, so maybe it's going east.

Humans in their teens should be given a mandatory common sense and competency test. If they fail, they are sterilized so that they cannot populate the earth with their idiot genes.

Certain people in this world are just too stupid to keep living, but they just won't die on their own. :angryfire

[Sara Micelli]

That's interesting. I LOVED Algebra, but I HATED Stats. Different strokes I guess.

If you don't mind my asking, have you gotten better at Algebra?

[MickeyMac]

For those of you who enjoy math and are good at I say more power to you.


Basic Algebra and Geometry were a nightmare for me.

[dawsongirl]

Geometry wasn't much fun either, but I had a nice teacher at least. Stats in college was a nightmare...don't know how I passed. Not sure how I passed Trig in HS either.

[Sharop]

Humans in their teens should be given a mandatory common sense and competency test. If they fail, they are sterilized so that they cannot populate the earth with their idiot genes.

No, no, no, no, that should NEVER happen. First of all, there are a lot of people that don't have much common sense who are actually very bright in other ways (it's often been said that people with a genius level of intelligence can be rather lacking in common sense.)

I don't have a lot of common sense either, but I know things. I know a lot about the Bee Gees, for example. I've read a lot about them.

Secondly, it's more important to be a nice person than to be a person of high intelligence. There's nothing wrong with not being very bright.

I think people should stop coming down so hard on those who don't necessarily have a high level of intelligence. If they were evil, rude, nasty people then I would understand. But if they're a decent person, then just let them be.

If you met me, you would probably consider me to not necessarily be very bright because I'm somewhat lacking in certain skills that most other people have. And I admit, common sense isn't my strongest point. But I should not be sterilised because I am a nice person.

I think what you suggested is terrible. :(

[MrCleveland]

Giving my parents money.

I had to give them $200 more today. Last week it was $400. And that totals to $600 this year. Last year they owed me money too and add that...That's $1300!

Not only that but my dad said that I have an attitude. Well...I learned it from him and I had to apologize to him forcefully.

I have a City bill that's two years old that I want to pay back and I would like to have cable, but those two things will never happen. And I might as well forget about offering and buying music from amazon.com. I may become more miserly when it comes to money, I won't even buy a stick of gum!

[MickeyMac]

Right now my complaint is with the media.


I know things are bad and that we are in a recession and the umemployment rate is as high as it was in the mid 70's(I am a part of it so I can speak on this). Whenever the news is or or look at your local paper, all they seem to talk about is the economy and how bad things are, its seems they have to hit you over the head with it and wont let you forget that things are bad. I am not in denial about things, and nor am I an optimist(but I am not a pessimst either), but goodness cant the media take a break. This is why I can only listen to the news in small doses. Who wants to be even more depressed than they already are?

So true. I had stopped watching a lot of national news a few years ago. It made me so sad... but it made me feel stupid when someone tried to talk to me about current events and I had no idea what they were talking about.
So, I've been trying a little harder to, as you said, watch in doese, or "get the drift" of what is happening out there.:(

I know I don't, but you said that some people are too stupid to keep living and you placed value upon people having common sense. I don't think a person should be dead because they're stupid.

I don't have a lot of common sense but that doesn't mean I should be sterilised.

I'm probably not, but I just don't think in general that people lacking in common sense or who are just plain fools would deserve that either (not that it's ever likely to happen.)

Yeah...I'll scratch so much I don't even realize I broke skin.

Mine flares up whenever my legs get warm, after I shave, if I touch them....ugh. I'll put lotion on because keeping the skin well-hydrated is supposed to keep the episodes down, but doing that makes my legs itch. :mad:

I don't know. Have you seen a dermatologist about it, Ashlee?

I think eczema mainly itches, but I'm not a doctor, so idk for 100%. Could very well be. Be glad it doesn't itch.


Right now my left leg itches so bad...feels like pins pricking my skin. I'm trying real hard not to scratch.

[*Pleasant Tomorrow*]

Last nights Valentine's Day party with my friends was fun for them. I wish I could have enjoyed it but I couldn't. I'm going to have to go back on the couch again.

President's Day is such a joke holiday.

[Janice]

Everything costs so much $$$. My husband picked up two roast beef sandwiches and a fry, and it cost 20 bucks. The sandwich place is legendary here, Kelly's Roast Beef, but still, a sandwich shouldn't cost 7 bucks or whatever. It's as if everything is out of control.

There were schools around here that didn't go today. O_O Weirdest thing I've ever heard.

[Janice]

WOW. Hopefully they were at least :drool:.
Yeah, they were great, bbq sauce, he got cheese on his. The place, Kelly's, sells lots of fried seafood plates, lobster rolls to die for.....best take-out around here. I've grown up on it. They started out as a stand on the beach, and branched out.

That can be nerve-wracking. Do you feel well prepared for it? Do you feel you studied as best you could? If you don't mind me asking, are you in college to be an accountant? Have a nice cup of tea to settle your stomach.

Good luck!! I'll be sending good thoughts your way. :)

I do feel well prepared, it's just that I've heard some negative things about this professor's exams from people who have taken his class before. He even states that the exams are not like the problems we go over in class (not sure why). I've studied a lot, but I think I could always study more.

Yes, I'm majoring in accounting. I hope to graduate in December, and then hopefully I'll be able to get an internship next winter. I then plan on going back for a year to get my Masters of Accounting degree.

Thanks for the good thoughts! :)

Good for you, Mike! You sound very ambitious, and you know what you want and how to get it. When it comes to accounting, let's just say that I'm thrilled with online banking, as it basically balances my checkbook for me, lol. Let us know how you did on the test, or at this point, how you think you did. I could always tell if I bombed or aced a test, or somewhere in between.

What sucked is that I had another accounting test tonight, and I barely had time to study for this one since I spent so many days preparing for the one I had yesterday.

ugh god damn it. some maid my dad hired is cleaning my house right now and she apparently thought it would be a non-****ty idea to bring her dog with her because i came home to get something for school and this huge ass dog was in my room and my cat had her fur all puffed up. well i got it out and now i'm in here with my cat and i want to leave but that ****ing dog is right outside the door and waiting to come in.

[Janice]

I'm having a cervical (neck) MRI next Wednesday. I've had five in the past two+ years, but they were all in open machines because I'm claustrophobic. I'm in a new healthcare group, and they don't have the open machines. I don't know if I can handle it. The open machines are open on the sides, so Lou could sit by my side and hold my hand (as I squeezed his). No sides on the regular machines. I need this test as it's been 14 months, and something has obviously changed, judging by my pain. God, this turned into a book. Sorry.

They just don't make things like they used to. I take care of my stuff, yet my dvd/vcr combo player that I've had only for a few years has died. I purchased a new dvd player online. Electronics used to last for years.
Hopefully the new one will last for years.
I remember when I first registered here at SO. I swore I would never buy a dvd player, :lol: The funny thing is I don't miss the vhs tapes. It's a good thing my tv shows and movies are all dvds. My college graduation ceremony is on both dvd and vhs tape, so that's a good thing too.
I know what you mean. I was the last of the people I knew my age to get a cell phone, DVD player, iPod, etc. I'm a late techie bloomer. :lol:

I have problems doing work I'm not interested in either. I should be done with this online class I'm taking, but it's boring, so I just put it off and off and off. I'll start, then play something online, then try to start reading again, and then ooo...message board.

Probably not until March 3rd. That's the next time I have that class, and this professor doesn't post grades online. Though, on the test I took Wednesday, I got a 75. Could have been better obviously, but I am very happy with it since I barely had time to study for that test, and the class average was like a 60%.

No, because you have to participate a little for certain film shots, but my doctor can prescribe something strong to relax me. So yeah, I'm calling her on Monday. I'll be flying high, lol. Thanks guys, for all the kind words, and for this suggestion Cathy. It all means a lot. I'll be fine. I'm simply scared sh it. :lol:

Thanks Monika. You folks are great. It takes about 45 minutes, depending on how well a person cooperates. There are probably eight films taken, at four to eight minutes long. The technician is behind a glass booth and speaks via microphone. "This next test will take six minutes. You're doing great!" Here and there, they come to move your head a certain way. It's that noise that I hate. Those machines sound like an airplane taking off, which is actually good because now I plan on being high, lol.

[Janice]

Wow! :eek: I've never had an MRI done, but I have had CAT scans in the past. About 8 years ago I got sick and had no idea what it was. I was sapped of all strength, I couldn't eat and lost about 20 pounds in less than a month. I had to get blood tests, an ultrasound (to check for gallstones), and a CT scan. They checked for diabetes, mono, gallstones, anemia, you name it. Finally, they chalked it up to a virus. That started back in September 2000 and I have never felt the same since. I'm OK most of the time but am still physically weak and tired so much of the time. We all have a cross to bear, and that one would be mine.

Electronics used to last for years because they were built to withstand years of wear and tear. I have a sony betamax that's still going strong and the quality is far better than any VHS unit and most dvd players I've seen. Today's electronics might as well be made with paper mache. :rolleyes:

oh no, Janice, honey, I hope it's nothing serious!

As for the MRI, I'm sure it won't be as bad as you think it will, just close your eyes while it's going on and I'm sure it'll be over before you know it. Yes, I know that's "easier said than done" as I'm not claustrophobic, but while it's going on just try to relax and not think about it. I've also had MRIs, and, really, it won't be bad at all. When was your last one?

And, as I said in my e-mail, if ever you want to talk or you feel the need to "vent" I'm just an e-mail or a P.M. away.

I'll be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers on Wednesday!!!:bighug: When is it being done on Wednesday?

After all my stressing about my MRI scheduled for today, I ended up cancelling it yesterday. I just couldn't do it. My doctor is arranging for me to have it done in an open machine. It might be a wait, but it's worth it. Thanks for all the good thoughts here. We'll do it all again when my next one is scheduled, lol.

For those who are unfamiliar with MRIs, the top two are open machines, and the bottom is a closed one. If you're having an MRI for your back, you go in feet first. I'll go in head first, as it's for my neck.

I'm ready to move out. REALLY READY.

[MickeyMac]

I got a cold and I feel like crap :(


Also I only got a C on my history test. I was so dissapointed in myself considering this is my major. Then again the industrial revolution period was never my strong points. :( :(

Awww...we all have our weak spots, Mickey. You're a smart and dedicated student, you'll do better next time.

You shouldn't feel too bad about that. Even when it's your major, C's definitely happen every now and again. I just look at it as getting a C is still a high enough grade to bounce back from.

Thank you both Huntington and Monika

I agree. I'm a religion major, but that certainly doesn't mean that I've gotten an A in most of those classes.

Thanks Monika that helps

Youtube, simply youtube. I have tried to post videos on there that I MYSELF HAD MADE! But the song was a copy right infringement (sorry, spelling is not one of my stronger subjects). I even just put up small little clips of shows and the next week they are taken off. These companies keep stepping in and taking the fun away. So what if some one wants to post a small clip? It's advertisement for a show, I mean, you're not posting the entire show and earning money from it. What's the harm in it? I'm starting to feel like every little thing I do on there is a copy right infringement. :(

well, I heard somewhere once that the copyright laws are long, complicated, and confusing.

[catlover79]

It's hard for me to see the text well enough to read it on the SO blog. It won't let me highlight the text. That would help make more contrast. The color of the text on the blog is lighter than the text in threads. Too bad my vision isn't good.
I've been having the same trouble. Then again, my eyesight isn't that great, either.

If these companies would get on the stick and actually release some of these shows on DVD, they wouldn't be having some of these issues. :mad:

After all my stressing about my MRI scheduled for today, I ended up cancelling it yesterday. I just couldn't do it. My doctor is arranging for me to have it done in an open machine. It might be a wait, but it's worth it. Thanks for all the good thoughts here. We'll do it all again when my next one is scheduled, lol.
that's great, Janice! Good luck when it happens! Do you have a date yet?

[PZelda]

I'd like to choke and then beat a specific bitch right now.

I hope it's not me. :eek: :joke: :rofl:

[MickeyMac]

I think my DVD player is trying to conk out on me. Whenver I put a disc in it will say "Cannot Be Played". Terrific, and right in the middle of season 7 of Bewitched too.

It is ridiculously cold out. Ugh. :wallbang

And I had a dream about a certain guy who is not currently a part of my life, and it's been haunting me all day. Wonderful.

Ashlee, we're both in the same boat. :mad:

I bust my ass at work everyday. I go above and beyond to make the morning peoples job easier, and making the display case pretty. Do I ever get a "good job, son! Thanks for your kickass work!"?

No. I get a: "We need to get more meat in this case" Tell me, how on bloody hell earth, can I get more product in the case when we don't have anymore product? I did my best and I was actually quite satisfied with how it looked, all things considered...

Then, after I left for the day, you had the ****ing gaul to tell my replacement person to fill up the case! The busiest day of the week, no product, I did my best and all he was trying to do was his job.

****ing new supervisor.... Doesn't even know what it takes to do my job. Then my review is long overdue, and he's going to be the one to do it. I'm not looking forward to it. I know I will get a raise, because it's pretty much mandatory... but I just don't want to deal with his worthless cretique.

On a side note, I'm really ****ing tired of living pay check to pay check. I miss the days when I would actually be able to save money. Funny how two years ago, I was making less than I do now and yet I managed to save money.

This kind of situation always sucks, I've been there myself.

Look at it this way, you have a job which is more than what I have.

[Sharop]

10,000-word dissertations are so irritating!

[LuLu Rogers]

This has been the worst week I've had in a long time. I just feel so drained and hurt, and looking for a new job has been really tough. I also got a bad report back from the doctor and I have to go on new meds and a new diet which will hopefully fix things, but the medicine makes me sick. I'm feeling alone, very alone. :crying:

Oh, believe me. I am grateful for that. Until recently both my roommates were without a job. Now one of them found a job, while the other is still unemployed. So I am not taking anything for granted.

Hope you find a job soon...

[catlover79]

Get well soon, Jenny and Lu!! :bighug:

[PunkyP0WER]

they found it and brought it here. my god, that was not the most relaxing 12 hours of my life.

[PZelda]

Yay! :woohoo:

By the way - this is why I do carry-on in addition to having a piece of checked luggage. Only my clothes go into my checked luggage, and important stuff comes with me on the plane. If I forget clothes, oh well. I can get some at my destination.

The summer I turned 9 years old (1994), we took a car trip to Minneapolis. When we got to Minneapolis, we realized we hadn't packed my suitcase so we had to make an emergency trip to like... Target, I think, to get new clothes for me because we were going to be in Minneapolis for about a week.

When we got home, we saw my ready-to-go suitcase sitting in my sister's and my bedroom. :crazy: Not the same as luggage getting separated from its owner on a plane, but still.

[catlover79]

^ I'm so sorry, Jenny. :bighug: :bighug: :bighug:
