Hi again to no one!!! This will probably be my last post since I will turn this project in today. For those of you who are my most dearest followers then I wish to apologize...lol! I know it will be tough not hearing from me everyday but there are professional counselors who can help with that problem...boy this is fun! I guess the biggest advantage for you is that now you will have one less blog to follow so delete me and forget about it, OK!
This project as I said before was fun and interesting but I barely have time to read my email or latest news online, so I could never find time to take care of something like this. My email is building up as I type because I have not had time to read through it all during this course. I will be taking a break for Summer II so I should have time to catch up on it all then. These courses are tougher when they're shorter, but I was expecting that so I was prepared for what it entailed.
But it is almost over and that will be a happy day. I was sick all last week so I was able to get ahead with these projects so maybe I won't need to do much during the last week, we'll see!
Well, anyway, I am going to say goodbye, dear friends, and maybe we'll see each other someday again!!!
Buh-bye...

Hello again...
Well, here I am again. I took a day off from my ranting to give you guys a break (even though I don't think anyone is really reading this!). But that's OK..we're all doing this just for a grade anyway. This 'blogging' thing is not boring at all but I just don't have time for it, especially while I'm taking this class! I suppose if I have something really important to say and I find enough followers that would truly listen to my BULL S#?T (all caps for a reason!) then I guess I would do this on a regular basis.
Anyway, this is officially the last post that I am required to do but I will try to post once or twice more before I turn it in for a grade (and that's for you Jeff if you actually read these things!!!) So I have to get to 200 words...I wonder if my instructor would accept...blah, blah, blah..200 times! Probably not even though it would still take a little effort to complete. But I am doing well on my ### attempt at finishing my degree so I think I will continue with that focus. The 'pound' signs are just there because I don't know what attempt this really is.
Allrighty then, that sums it up for today and I'll try to get back on here tomorrow. Till then...

I'm Baaaaaaaaaacccccccckkkkkk !
Hi again, and you thought that you might have gotten rid of me. Well my guess would be that in a few days...you probably will.
I have been home all week because I strained my back last weekend but it did not stop my boss from calling me today to say that I got the promotion that I interviewed for last week. Great news and a nice pay raise too! I hope that doesn't interfere with my college education again like it has in the past...but we'll see. I have always been a person that has striven (I hope that's the right word) to do better especially at work and that has throughout the years led to promotions. But that has always been the reason that I have quit college at that time. Maybe this time will be different.
I suppose that if I just take 1 class per semester it will take a while to finish but at least I'm still studying.
As my wife would say, "Better than nothing!"
The only good part of being bed-ridden all week is I have gotten Way ahead with this course. My work schedule is going to change on Monday so I will need to re-evaluate my study schedule too.
Anyway, that sums it up for today so take care all...bye, bye then...

Because I have to
I certainly do hope my instructor gets my humor!
OK, back again and even though I usually do not talk politics I just have to finish my thoughts from yesterday.
I learned something new a few months ago from a boss that just retired (2 things actually). Did you know that a brand new elected official automatically has a guaranteed retirement fund that cannot be harmed (I'm sure there are ways to make it better though!) And also, did you know that if there are zero votes for a bill or measure in Congress then it automatically passes!!! That's how they give themselves raises and they can say they never voted for it and they will be telling the truth!
I recently came across a very informative newsletter if you want to sign up: www.bankruptingamerica.org
Check it out. They are always interesting.
Anyway, that's about it for my politico speech. Eventually we Americans will smarten up and hold our politicians accountable for their actions and if they know they will be fired they will certainly do as we command...guaranteed !!!
I will try to think of something else to post about for tomorrow since right now I am just trying to get over the 200 word requirement.
Till manyana...

3rd Time's A Charm
OK, will someone please let me know when my titles get corny!!!
Who wants to talk politics...I usually don't. After reading Chris' latest blog I thought that I would post my opinion. Can anyone please tell me why U.S. citizens vote for a President when the popular vote doesn't elect the office? I cannot think of any other country in which a citizen popular vote does not elect a leader of a nation.
Now, don't get me wrong I DO vote and would not want to lose my right to vote but it doesn't make any sense. And since normally the last 2 years of a politicians term is spent trying to get re-elected, then why don't we change the term of U.S. Representatives to at least 4 years? As soon as they get in they start planning their re-election instead of doing the job they were elected to do.
It all comes down to one fact. Until we citizens truly start holding our elected officials accountable for their actions and start firing them when they deserve it, then they will continue to manipulate us.
Allrighty, before I start sounding like I'm crazy I'll end this for now. One other thing though, if you CAN vote and you DON'T vote then please DON'T talk politics !!!
There is more to come...later

2nd Time
Here I am again. I am really not sure what to write but I'll give it a shot anyway. I was somewhat unlucky on Saturday by straining my back and had to take the day off of work today because of it. That's good in a sense because I spent all day studying. I don't think I have ever hurt my back while working because you are always thinking to be safe but at home I guess the thought just disappears. It's more of an agravating injury than anything else and I hate to be "bed-ridden" but that is what it will take to heal.
I just started a new job a few months ago so I don't have much sick time built up so hopefully the miracle cure will come overnight!
Anyway, for those of you who are in IS 101 and are doing this same project, how is it not to have a life for the next few weeks. I knew this class would be intense because of it being so short but holy moly!!! I am not sure how long this summer schedule has been around but I think instead of having 2 one month courses, it would be more beneficial to have 1 two month course. I think that more courses could be offered and they would not be so cramped together and some students may be able to take more classes than they do now.
Well, that's my thoughts for now. Until next time...

First Timer !
Hello all and yes I am just doing this for a grade. I certainly hope that does not affect the grade that I get. I am not a person who does this sort of thing probably just because I don't have the time - too much TV to watch...LOL! No not really, I am just not a person who can sit at the computer all day and surf the web. Thankfully my wife updates our facebook page otherwise that would never get done either! That's what they are for right married men...LOL...hopefully she doesn't walk by when I am typing this.
Anyway, I am back in college at age 37 for the billionth time...hopefully I will finish this time. Work has always come before school in my family so that is why I haven't finished yet. I do believe that I am serious about finishing but as job opportunities/promotions become available that may change.
More about me...moved from Florida (GO DOLPHINS!) to Nevada last summer for a job opportunity for my wife. I had always thought that I would never move that far away but 2 incomes are far better than 1. Love the great views that we have here which is no way comparable to Florida but I don't think I will ever get used to the snow again. I was born in Mass. but moved to Florida when I was 7.
Ok I think this thing is over 200 words now so I'll sign off until next time...later !
