I don't really care for Orlando most of the time...

I think I will let ita grease him.

What would you all say "generals" mean in terms of college classes? i recieved a note from a student who is thinking of transferring here. She wonders what we have in the summer in terms of generals and accounting. She is an accounting major.

I'm thinking she means something like general ed requirements, which we don't have here. And we don't have accoutning. I'm thinking she should rethink transferring to a school that doesn't have her intended major.

I would guess Gen Eds too.

ita -- I'm sorry about how the test went and hope that you are feeling better today.

Meanwhile, I am in week 3 of the back spasm.

Also, I got an email at 8:34 asking me to come and interview at 9 Am. I replied that 9:30 would be better. It's 8:51 and I have had no answer.

What do I do with that?

(I am also not really dressed for an interview. . . but then, it's for a job that I'm not very excited about.)

sumi, call to see if they got your email, but be ready to hustle over there in, oh, 5 minutes.

Okay. SHould be interesting with the bad back.

4 minutes now. Also, on hold with my doctor's office.

Sorry to hear about your back, sumi.

I just sent in my "off sick" email, and will go back to bed cautiously until it's late enough for me to be able to call the prescribing doctor and get off these meds. At least I'm not scheduled to teach until 8:45pm.

Sorry about the back, sumi. I'm sitting here with a pulled muscle and an assload of stress-induced back pain, and I'm thanking the gods that it's not as bad as weeks of spasms. Yick, and my sympathies.

Sumi-

I hope your back feels better soon-- I would not want to go to a job interview with a spasming back!

Apparently, I shouldn't read my email with a spasming back either.

The interview time was for 9 am NEXT Monday.

My doctor's office is going to leave a packet of back exercises for me at urgent care.

At least you don't have to go interview now, sumi. Good luck with the back.

I'm thinking she should rethink transferring to a school that doesn't have her intended major.

Yeah, you think? I've been talking to a lot of accepted students this spring, and I feel bad when I do it, but I have definitely suggested to people this might not be the place for them. Anyone who says more than once that they are excited about urban planning? We don't do that here.

I am now obsessed with that celebrity heights page.

And, as expected, there is no work for me to do -- my boss has not even signed the letters I left for him last Tuesday. I swear. At least it's air conditioned in here.

Okay, kids. It's 4 days before our monthly payday. Monthly payday rocked at old, cheap house. It's tougher to take at the money!pit. So, if you're single, here are the eligible billionaires:

Here are all the billionaires. I don't provide the list so that you'll go after the married ones, but it includes a handy list of how many billion we're talking about, so without further ado: [link]

The Google guys seem to be at the top of the most-eligible heap.

Have it and don't forget Cindy, 'kay?
