Wow...really?



Today in a nutshell:


  1. our admin computer in our alternate room has been changed to a printer station (boooo)
  2. We had to unplug an IP phone to have another Ethernet line to make our own admin computer (yay creative problem solving)
  3. Tables were stacked and left in our alternate room, blocking many of the computers (booo)
  4. I moved the double stacked tables farther than my shoulder probably should. (yay...ish)
  5. The newer monitors do not like the resolution we need for COMPASS (boo)
  6. ATI decided to change our assessment id's, effective today, and not tell anyone until almost EOB. (booo)
  7. I had to call ATI and basically demand to get our new IDs so we could test today. (booo)
  8. When they did send out our new IDs they sent all of them and the corresponding passwords to all the coordinators statewide. (lol and booo)
  9. If some coordinators aren't paying attention, they may accidently use our codes (we were the first ones sent) (billing nightmare: booooo)
  10. The GED/ABE folks thought they had our alternate room too today. (boooo)
  11. I had an instructor who kept yelling in  my lab door despite telling him several times we were testing. (booo)
  12. My  lab was upgraded (yay)
  13. I finally got a replacement monitor for one of sick computers (yay!)
  14. Three computers are still borked and won't run a full test package (booo)
  15. Net Control (our remote access software) isn't working fully. (boooo)
  16. We have found a back way around it for now (until it won't load without a product key anymore or we get a real fix.) (yay!)
  17. We somehow survived...and even laughed a little, but my head is killing me now.

With that I leave you all to watch this on repeat:


Because it makes me laugh (and I need it today...badly) and to fill out life insurance paperwork.

The Bottom Line

Writing Prompts: 1.)  Six Word Memoir : Write about a significant time in your life in just six words. 2.) “One need not be a chamber to be haunted, One need not be a house. The brain has corridors surpassing material place”. -Emily Dickinson What haunts you? 3.) Describe a talent or flaw that seems to be in your genes. 4.) What are you passionate about? 5.) Comfort food at its finest. Share a family favorite recipe you loved as a child. Lets go with #4  Shall We? It has been an interesting ride over the past almost 32 years: I was a cute baby: I was an adorable toddler: I was a child with a bad perm: Police Radios were just a part of Christmas morning and family dinners : I had the "coolest car" I may have vandalized a friend's car with evidence tags and rubber gloves found in aforementioned cool car: I went to college: Moved Away and Made New Friends: I traveled: I even toured with a band: Bottom Line: No matter where I have gone, what...

Challenging Your Writing

Blogging is easy for me. In an attempt to start shaking up my writing, I decided to start doing a writing workshop and trying some new writing prompts. Trying to get my blog back up in shape has been harder than I thought it would be. I am feeling like writing again, but I need variety. It has been fun trying new topics. Still, I was always picking the safe ones. This week, the list came to my inbox and the one I was instantly drawn to was of course the easy one. However, there was another prompt that was nagging at me. "What I lack" Here is the deal: I don't want to always write about negative stuff. This would be a negative blog. That wasn't the worst of it. I knew it was a topic I would have a hard time putting into words. I don't want to be misunderstood, but I am just  not sure how to put some of these feelings in words I kept trying to convince myself it wasn't a good idea. I just couldn't shake it. I wrote the blog. It is far from the best thi...

What Does One Wear??

Image
On May 21, I am attending Methodist Theological Seminary of Ohio's Commencement. My mother was a student there, and she would have graduated this May. The college has decided to award her a posthumous degree. This is very kind, and we are honored they have decided to do this. Today I was trying to  figure out my plan for that day, when it occurred to me: What does one wear to accept a degree for their mother (who died nearly a year ago)? Well black doesn't seem fitting (and there goes half my wardrobe) It cannot be too short It cannot be to low cut (there goes most of the rest of my wardrobe). So what are my options? Very obviously this is not going to work: Maybe something like this, but not in Black? This had potential...until I noticed those were skulls not polka dots This has potential Then I was distracted by this (but....it is on sale!!) Okay...more like this? I just don't know...any suggestions?
