If it’s not one thing, it’s another. Your life is a pitiful wreck, and it’s all you ever write about. Why don’t you at least make up a happy story for once. Your friends would appreciate that. |

I wish I was a paying member of LiveJounal. I keep running into things I can’t do because I can’t afford $25 a year right now. poop. Someone out there want to sponsor me? Not that anyone really reads my tripe anyway.
Fight Night

I try not to talk about my problems with Heather in my livejournal, but I feel like I have to say something since I haven’t said anything since last night when we went to bed angry. Don’t they say never go to bed angry? Oh well.

Well, a cable guy came by to try and figure out why we haven’t had internet access in almost three weeks. He gave us a new cable modem, even though we weren’t renting the one we had. We had bought one outright two years ago. But he still gave us this one and left it when he was done. I hope it doesn’t show up on our cable bill as a rental. He also replaced my network card in my computer, even though it we owned that too. Oh well, apparently they’re making enough money off my by charging me for a service I haven’t been able to use in the past three weeks to give me free hardware. Apparently they’ve been doing some major line service and server migrations of their own and that’s causing a lot of problems right now. When he finally left, I still didn’t have internet access. He told me that the service lines were down and even when they came up, I’d still have to call in the new MAC address. After a couple of hours, when the lights on the new modem seemed to be stable (I don’t have a manual for this one, so I have to guess), I called the service number and after being on hold for 30 minutes, told the guy on the phone that I needed to update my MAC address. He says that’s not an option right now due to a problem with their system. I’m like, am I going to have to call again? He says he’ll write a trouble ticket as a reminder to do it later when the system is back up and running.
As of 8:00 last night, I still don’t have internet at my house. I haven’t tried since. I wonder what I’m paying that $50 for…
Good Ol’ Charlie Brown

Okay, if this keeps up, my self image really is going to improve. Lately my self image has been faltering for reasons that some of you are more aware of than others, but if the cutest girls in class keep smiling at me while I do my orientations, then my self image may actually improve and I mat start to get a bit of an ego back. For better or worse, I actually feel better about myself today. I’m sure things will change before too long though. But for now, I feel like Charlie Brown when the little red headed girl smiled at him. Golly.
Classroom Orientation
Wednesday, August 27th, 2003 | LiveJournal Archives | No Comments
I did my first classroom orientation for the semester. God I hate doing them. If they didn’t seem to have such a profound effect on the rest of the semester, then I’d be morally opposed to them. The students seem to take at least a marginal ammount of information away from them and thus seem to be happier in the lab. I flubbed this one up royally though, I totally wasn’t prepared and need to update some of my dialogues. I feel like I floundered thought it, but a couple people in there were smiling and laughing at my “jokes” so it made it a bit better. I still felt more self concious than normal. I mean I was tap dancing from foot to foot the whole time. I hate that.

I was in the lab this morning thinking about all the things I could write about and not deciding on anything in particular. I know that there are things I’d like to write out here that I’m not sure I want everyone in the world to read but I feel like I need to voice. I know there are a lot of people I know who read this and I don’t really want to air these issues with them. Some of them involve people who read this journal and I don’t want to embarass them. So instead, I’m just idly typing, pretending that I have something important to post.
