Today I felt somewhat like a grain of salt in a pepper shaker simply because I don't follow sports. We spent the entire class discussing the new dress code of the NBA. Specifically, the dress code is now forbidding players wearing the "bling, bling" jewelry. However, the class itself focused on the requirement for players to wear suits while ( Read more... )

Interracial relationships was the theme of today's class. At least, that topic was most prominent to me. One of the articles discussed today was about a white man filing suit against his employer because his wife was from Uganda. Although he wasn't outright fired because his wife, but the workplace was so hostile that he had to leave. Later on ( Read more... )

I couldn't stop snickering in Risk Management today because I kept remembering his joke about the Burp Gnomes. Though I was able to keep silent, I must have looked like I have a medical condition. At least I wasn't bored in class like I usually am.

Today's article was about the class action law suit being brought against Federal Express. Maybe I'm confusing it with UPS, but I thought that FedEx had a company policy that discussing your salary with your coworkers was grounds for termination. I wonder if that policy has purely innocent motives. The only work environments I've had exposure to ( Read more... )

Wow, class today was powerful to say the least. The big article we discussed was about the New Orleans Police beating a 64-year-old black man, Robert Daniel. One of the students actually had a DVD with coverage from several news networks, so we got to see what happened ( Read more... )

This was an interview for an entry level accounting position just in case I flunk out of the Master's program. In hindsight, I probably should have interviewed for an internship ( Read more... )

Today's article: a Delta flight attendant posted a picture of herself on her blog (www.queenofsky.net) laying across airline seats in her uniform with her skirt somewhat hiked. Delta thought it was an inappropriate picture, suspended her without pay, then fired her. Actually, she posted two pictures. The other one showed her blouse partially ( Read more... )

I had my first Risk Management Test today. Grad School's new grading scale: "C" is for "Complete," "D" is for "Done."

My skydiving DVD will soon be on the net for downloading.

I bought a spillow1. It’s a huge arse body pillow (5 and ½ feet long) with which I can spoon while I go to sleep. Yeah, I really enjoy spooning, or at least I think I would the same way I think I would enjoy having wash-board abs or a steady pay check. Don’t give me that look; it’s not like I bought one of those inflatable women. That’s pathetic ( Read more... )
