I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that I am never going to get a word in edgewise.  The faculty threw everything back in our faces when we presented the memo from the student forum.  Today, at the ALA accreditation student panel, every time I tried to speak, someone (who I won't name, but Kristi can guess) would start talking YET AGAIN.  ( Read more... )

What I actually accomplished:

• Lots of work hours
• Book review assignment
• Program for 534
• Lesson plan for 532
• Finished reading New Moon

It's not like my feelings about cataloging are any big secret.  But how can I be expected to fully understand the material when I'm basically teaching it to myself?  You can't say that I don't understand when I'm not being taught and am receiving little to no help.  Plus, way to not support your students.  We didn't have the choice of a seated ( Read more... )

Well, I have a computer again, and UBMicro sucks.  Not only was I overcharged, they installed Office 2007.  It's not over until I get the Ipod situation fixed and figure out why Itunes copied all my songs on twice and why I can't just combine the listings.  I don't wanna call tech support!  I wanna keep my pants on!

I am computerless until further notice.  Thanks to "Spyware Protect 2009", my sweet almost 6-yr.old laptop is sitting at UBMicro waiting to be fixed.  Luckily I made them tell me everything, otherwise they were going to wipe it and not tell me.  I'm one step ahead of the 12 year old that processed me and overcharged me: I had my external hard drive ( Read more... )

I've calmed down since the crash and Jezebel redeemed itself two days later, with nary a word from that whore Megan Carpentier about how insensitive she is and how the world doesn't revolve around her belief that blog readers don't care about global issues.  Well, we can't all be George Clooney, first of all.  Also, just because USAir is offering ( Read more... )

I rarely say that.  Yesterday, however, this was posted:

It's all fun and games, until the last paragraph:

"Anyway, now even though Leon Panetta was confirmed as CIA Director yesterday and Rahm Emanuel admitted he made some mistakes and Obama might finally get on Sheila Bair's suggestion ( Read more... )

I just got back from a fun weekend in Pittsburgh visiting Lauren and Ben and it was awesome.  On our way to the Cupids and Canines casino night, we took a few Google Map-induced wrong turns and nearly drove off a cliff.  Well, actually, it was a really steep one-way hill with no streetlights.  Luckily, some guy who was also lost saw us with our ( Read more... )
