I'm not sure it's possible. IT has to log in to the laptop under a monitored admin account to add/remove programs. Because of our nuclear IT policies, they don't even have the ability to remote in. It's so bad, even excel macros aren't functioning on the new setups.

In Alabama, I used to get so confused, FedEx would drop my packages off at the post office...

Same here. And I just don't get how that "saves" money. There seems to be much more interfacing going on and paperwork that way.

At U.S. Postal Service facility
Arrived at local Post Office - Allow one to two additional days for delivery

:madgo:

HA! that is nothing... we would wait 2 days, and THEN they would put a yellow slip of paper in the PO Box... but since that Post Office closes at 4 you had to wait until Saturday to get the package

My comment was such that it IS possible. It's just whether or not you'd get in trouble for it.

^I once watched one of those trucks get stuck in the middle of my street, in about 8" of snow. Tow truck came and pulled it out. Literally 5 minutes later the snow plows came and cleared the street.

Distribution systems engineering exam today.

Professor tells us, it's a 90-min exam, but you can take up to 2 hours if you want. Meaning, he can do the exam in 90 minutes, and for the rest of us it will take the full 120 minutes. <_<

Ah, yes, I remember that class. So glad I'm done with school.

(Are you irritated yet?)

I'm eating sweet tarts and drinking diet pepsi right now.

(How about now?)

Thinking about how crappy the new Star Trek movies are, and oh how I love Apple products.

(just kidding)

Seriously, though, I took that class the first time they offered it. I hope it's gotten better because I didn't learn much, but the prof didn't really have a handle on it yet. All I remember from it is how to set voltage regulators. Are they still using the Gönen book?

^ that was awesome

Actually though, it's interesting you describe the course that way. Because now that I look back at things for we've covered, I am learning some basic info but really no more than I could have learned on my own (if that makes sense). It seems to be structured well and the professor is very organized. The course focuses on consumer distribution and energy usage levels. But we just had our first exam and he advised to just study the book material. But then tested on something quite different. So, we'll see how this continues on. BTW,

Prof for the course

It's not like you write out your cards by hand...

^ yes I do. I don't write the d@mn labels by hand though. =)

Ok, bitch. If you're going to cut me off to get into the left lane, f*cking drive like you should be in the left lane. 40mph in a 65 zone is not going to cut it.

 

[envirotex]

Took the PG today. Nothing left to do but wait. No forum with anyone to wait with me.

My head hurts.

Don't want to go again in October.

That's as loud as I can scream. I don't have the energy.
