just get on with it

One of the things that annoy the most is people whining about school. I am taking a pretty heavy load by all standards so I can speak about it. I took a quiz this morning in my strategic management class. It was a little like a midterm. Four definitions and a small case study. How hard is this? Not really. Do you have to study much for it if you paid attention in class? Not at all. I was annoyed that people were bitching about it after the fact. It was a waste of time and I don't think it was necessary for my professor to explain herself. I thought it was a good quiz, and that's by my lazy-ass standards. How do you people solve problems when you get a real job?

I parked next to one of these today



Yeah I still want it.

my window is open

It's been a long time since I opened my window. This winter is long. I'm trying to do things differently this time around. I'm tired of feeling stale.

I had a meeting at work this morning. It was probably the most productive meeting I've ever been to. Half the people were painting the room, and I lead the other half into a crop session. That's right. Cropping. I think we ended with with about 8 layouts this morning. In two hours. We're pretty efficient. It's funny I have all the material in my room. The good stuff. And I've only done two layouts. I don't know what holds me back. Having other people make them and encouraging them is fun. They were reluctant at first, didn't know what to do. I just told them, there's no right answer, just put down what you feel is good. They did. And it turned out great. How come nobody ever really said that to me before? I feel like I don't have that sort of encouragement. I always want to do things the "right" way, and I end up not working on it at all. I tried to be a perfectionist, and I give up when I can't get it perfect.

Having done something and learn from it is better then not doing it at all.

Health Surcharge

This little ACLU video showed a couple of things. 1) The convergence of technology increasingly infringes on personal privacy and liberty. 2) User interface will be equally as bad or worse in the future.
