a questionaire from life of nicole lee…
a bit late, I know…but heck…it’s interesting.
How’s your job been going? Or school, if you’re a student?
things have finally settled down at work. I’m in the IT department at the business school – at Cal…..go bears! Things were nutty last week with the damn Welchia virus. We had a mess load of laptops to patch up and clean-out. Fighting fires, that sort of thing. But things have calmed down this week – I was able to upload more pix to my photoalbum and take care of other business….
Any amusing anecdotes from work or school? (The commute is included.)
um…well…yeah – last week a pissy student had an attitude problem. One of my student workers came to help his group with a laptop issue. She followed policy and he just exclaimed: “she doesn’t know anything, she’s just a work study student.” what a jerk. the next day, he came in and he was even more pissed. he exclaimed: “somebody stole my laptop from the lounge. could you call the police?” so….i guess he’s not going to have any more laptop problems for sometime now. what goes around comes around, buddy.
Make any big decisions?
oh boy yeah! i just told my boss that I’m going to Northwestern for grad school. That was a big deal for me. I had butterflies in my stomach. I expected something horrible and I was totally happy that my boss was so supportive of my academic aspirations.
For those that are in the U.S., did you do anything fun for Labor Day weekend? What?
well, I like shopping and so, my honey and I went to Fry’s so that I could get a new laptop bag. I also spent some time there, talking myself out of buying an external hard drive and a usb memory key. Argh….On Sunday, we did a lovely hike through Muir Woods. I will have some pix up on that…in a bit. I was a bit annoyed at some of the familes that came through….too damn chatty. We ended up on some trails that were unpaved….where the strollers can’t follow. Afterwards, we headed for a coffeeshop in Mill Valley and Mark polished off his latest Phillip K. Dick book. Overall, it was a relaxing weekend.
Anything fun planned for the coming week?
um….i don’t think so. i’m trying to a brunch thing with my friends on Sunday. oh yeah, and I’m starting up my hankido classes this evening. yeah, i’m going to get my butt kicked tonight.
