This week my supervisor sent me two job announcements and encouraged me to apply. She also asked about the other two she knows I’ve applied for but haven’t mentioned since to her. What can I say, we’re really in the “oh, crap” mode now. And, yet, we’re still trying to get work done. Except for my co-worker who deserves a smack up-side her gnarly head.
I had a meeting on campus today and I have to say if your friend is wearing short shorts then you should not be outfitted in Uggs. Actually, that’s probably advice I’d give you no matter what. Those are some ugly shoes.
I’ve turned in my final project for the online class I’m taking. It’s been a very strange experience to completely experience an asynchronous environment for an entire semester. No discussions and no comments except when the GA hands out grades/feedback for assignments. Apparently, there is a group of students who prefer this way of getting course content. I do not like it. I hope my final project for the program will be to re-write one of these courses to make it more interactive, but also self-paced. A balance of the two needs.
Speaking of balance, we were talking about balance right? I got some CDs in the mail the other day. Yes, I download MP3s frequently, but have only downloaded 1 entire album before (Radiohead’s latest). There’s something about the case art and the act of physically holding the discs that we both like. Which, technically, I haven’t done since the CDs arrived on the day I left town. The better-half put the songs on our server so I can listen today. Technology is pretty awesome even if we are sort of doing things backwards. It’s all about trying to keep the fidelity of the songs high.
One of the CDs is this one by k.d. lang. She still sounds great after all these years. The new band is also a pleasure.
I am so low tech it’s pathetic. No DVR, no DVD player for that matter. No clue how to download music. I still play my vinyl and listen to commercial radio. Gonna check out the k.d. lang link now…always loved her and her voice.
