[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Aimee - is that school back in California? Are tney nuts?
No, University of Phoenix is all on-line. I can do it anywhere.
By which I mean porn.
Can you retake the one class with U of P but still do the lit class at the cc?
Nope. I have to take both classes now in order to have my balance Go Away.
Sent an email to my boss feeling her out about working from home today (which I already did yesterday) but it was quickly followed by emails from two colleagues announcing that they were WFH, so I guess I have to suck it up and go in. (See what I get for asking?)
And, in follow-up to my last, what I get for asking is being marginally on the good side of the upcoming "conversation" that my boss is scheduling re work from home policy. Eep.
It seems weird to me that they use the word "promotion" in relation to school. Like they are salesmen, which just seems...unacademic or something.
Anyway, I know they suck, but I'd totally take their class if it meant saving money and/or getting rid of the F.
ugh, Aims. I guess the best thing you can do is take these 2 classes at UP and then maybe switch over to the community college?
Bastards!

University of Phoenix is a for-profit university (also publically traded, I think) so, yeah. Selling the brand is pretty overt with for-profits (though it sure could be argued the non-profits do it as well, just a little less forthrightly)
ay. missed bus to airport. got on metro. metro broke down. passed bus, though. on other bus. hoping to get to airport in time. gah.
This is why DC is one of the few places where I'll pay a serious premium to fly into National rather than Dulles. In Chicago, I prefer Midway, but it's no biggie if O'Hare is the better deal. In DC it makes a huge difference.
"But it's a perfec' day, Momma!"
'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww's to death

I worked for a for-profit jr. college and they were NOT overt and would give students "inspiring" speeches and pressure them into things like doing internships where they learned very little but the school didn't have to pay instructors. Most of the students felt pretty quickly like they were being conned but that they couldn't really stop for various reasons (including the "inspiring" speeches). The faculty was treated horribly, we lacked basic supplies... it was miserable.
It was the adminstration that sucked, though. The instructors were very dedicated to actually teaching their students even though the students pretty much had to show up to graduate. I did my best to get them valid internships (though the school would have taken ANYTHING), and the bulk of the students really wanted to learn.

yeah, but sometimes you don't have a choice. To get to Seattle without stopping at least once, you have to fly out of Dulles or BWI.
I wanted to work from home today because of the snow. But, when you live a 10 minute walk away, it's not really necessary.
Of course, when I went to put my car in my $30,000 parking space, some motherfucker from the construction company was in it. Luckily, he was right there, and could move immediately, but it would have been ugly if I'd had to wait.
Sorry about the U of P obnoxiousness, Aimee. It sounds like the smart thing to do is finish up those two classes, then wash your hands of them, but how annoying!
I'm hoping we won't get as much snow here as last year, because what with taking the extra trip to Alabama to see my mom this summer, I'm seriously low on vacation time--as in, will probably have to take a day or so of leave w/o pay at Christmas.
