Work

Ok... just as a warning this may or may not actually make any sense. I'm just going to say whatever I'm thinking/remembering about the past few days. For one, class has started and generally my classes look like they'll be fairly interesting, I still don't have many books, mostly because I'm not willing to pay about $400 for my books when I can get them online around $190... for instance... Discrete math, we're using a book published in 1988 and the bookstore charges $92.50 for it used. I got the same book (most likely in better condition) for about $40 after shipping. Now... how can they possibly expect to make any money when they sell books about double the market value? Maybe they'll figure it out someday... but it seems unlikely, simply because that would make sense.

Also lately I've been working a lot the past few days... and I've really enjoyed actually working on stuff. I don't particularly enjoy IT stuff, but at the same time it is nice to be doing something useful with my time (and getting paid for it). We've had a lot of interesting issues (including one involving a long distance call around 9pm to a University in Ohio so that we could get the password to uninstall Norton (which was comical because they used "symantec"... idiots). Also working with a computer running Mac OS 8... that was annoying...

Overall I've actually enjoyed the past few days a lot, and it's been really nice the past week to see people again... (esp Amy)... it was a long break, and I'm glad to be back.


Anyway... just felt like venting a little since I'm not tired yet...
