Jack Lemmon died yesterday. He was one of my favorite actors. It's sad to think that all of the big male stars from the "Grumpy Old Men" movies have passed away. First Burgess Meredith in 1997, Walter Matthau almost a year ago and now Jack Lemmon. You know you're getting older when the people you admire start passing away.
I am really dreading going back to school on Monday. I have no desire to face the idiots that run that place. I stopped in today to see what classes are being offered next module (as classes start Monday) and there is NO SCHEDULE POSTED!!! That means Monday morning will be a zoo. Yay. This is all doing wonders for the apathy I feel about CollegeAmerica right now.
During the two weeks I took off I realized that the things I really want to learn about are not taught there. I want to learn about UNIX/Linux and I was told that "maybe" Unix 3 would be offered in September (my last month). I was told there wasn't that much interest in that class being offered. BULLSHIT! I know many people who want to take it. I want to learn more about web programming, ie. Javascript, Perl, CGI scripts, Cascading Style Sheets, Photoshop, etc. You can take javascript, but only after you finish the other programming classes. I have no desire to learn those. I'm not going to use those. So, looks like my 18 grand was pretty much wasted. I've taken four networking classes and can no more administer a network any better than I could have last June. The hardware stuff I know Marcus taught me, cuz I sure didn't learn it in the hardware classes. I may be A+ certified, but I can't fix a computer. I've been working on Visual Basic 3 for two months now. I got a letter from the librarian wanting the book back. I don't even want to finish it, I'm so fed up. I like programming, mind you. It's like solving puzzles or playing games, but I know I'm not going to do this for a living and it's pretty much a waste of my time.
I really want to learn networking. There are only 1 or 2 more classes offered and I know I'm not going to learn what I want in those. I want to learn about network security and firewalls, etc. We briefly read about those, but how can you do it if you've never had hands on practice? You can't. Oh, well.
On another cheery note, sales are sucking bad at both stores still. My paychecks on the 5th are going to SUCK! How am I supposed to move when I can't even afford to buy groceries right now? Do I need to find a part time job or start selling my plasma again? It's looking like it. So, I guess now I'll start selling some of my crap on eBay and get some other stuff ready for a garage sale. I'm also not extremely happy with Marcus, either, but that's not a story I choose to share. Boy, life is fun right now.
