It's official....

I'm a college student. I signed up for two online classes. Screw that going to the college, sitting in a classroom crap. Not me. At least, not right now. I know eventually I'll have to but I'm not going to like it.

I took a few classes back in 95 and hated, HATED sitting in a room full of kids just out of high school. And Gawd, I'm now 12 years older...it'll be worse now. I have no patience for .... oh never mind. Doesn't matter.

Anyway, I passed the reading and writing tests but of course, flunked the math test. Do I care? Hell no. Math sucks. Algebra is stupid. The end. Unfortunately I'll have to learn it one day. Once I'm done, that book is going right in the trash. Phuey on math!

I orginally picked a Business Management degree thingy but I changed it to Administrative Support Technology. That's short for secretary. Ha!

My first two classes are "Introduction to Business" and "Computer Concepts and Applications". There was another one listed in the course catalog as "Computer Applications and Concepts". I wondered if that was a typo so I asked. I was told that they were similar and interchangeable. Umm...ok. I think the person who set that up has a degree in "Stupid".

Oh...I started a new job Monday. I've been training all week. Not really a job I'd prefer but it comes with full benefits. After having none for the last 7 years, it's worth the embarassment of saying, "I work as Sears as an Appliance Salesperson."
Ugh.

The atmosphere is very laid back. Not one person wears the "uniform" correctly. The front cashiers hang out together in the morning, eating and chatting, while customers stand at their registers waiting, and well....lets just say, thank God I'm in Sales with the adults...everyone else is 22 or younger.

I've got about 42 hours of computer training to do. I've completed about 20 so far. It's so boring I can't stand it. You wouldn't believe the BS I have suffered through this past week...but, in the end, it will be worth it to take my son to the doctor and not have to pay $135 out of my pocket each time. Thank God for small miracles.

Ok, I'm rambling....gonna go take a shower. I stink. The propane tank was empty for three days and we had no heat or hot water until this morning. Don't ask...that's a story for another post.
