Taking a break from procrastination

So what does this really mean?

I am late. I am really late.

These two classes I am taking this semester, for anybody that does not already know, have been the toughest yet. Management of Human Resources, and Financial Accounting. Really exciting stuff as I am sure you can imagine. As usual, I keep getting descent scores on assignments, but I find myself turning them in with little clue if it will be A+, or returned to me with the comment "What the fuck was this?".

The assignment details are so short, and being the weekend, I can not call my teacher to ask what the stuff means. It says in part:

Create a diagram in PowerPoint ® or Word mapping job opportunities starting from, or advancing to, the position focused on in your final project.

I feel as though those words should make more sense to me. Is there a form out there called "Mapping job opportunities" in Microsoft Word somewhere? Grr... This does not seem subjective at all. It feels like there is something I need to copy from somewhere I have never heard of. Oh well, back to work.

The hunt shall continue.

A New Blogger

After reading an article on slashdot.com, I have decided to take advantage of my domain name again. I think I may use this to keep track of various things I am studying at any given time, and hopefully a reference the next time someone calls BULLSHIT, and I can't remember where I found something.

So anyway, one major reason for starting over new is that the template for my old web site does not appear to be editable. This page has replaced nakedpenguins.net and the old page that has not been updated in years, which for now can be found at oldtherearenomorenamesleft.blogspot.com.

So here is something I wanted to share with everyone:

Join EFF Today So the Music Can Play On

This was a very disturbing article I found through slashdot.org: http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/archives/004145.php

Companies are getting more and more creative with the knowledge that nobody reads the EULA.

Everybody is so concerned about what they download off the internet, now you have to be scared of what might be bundled with software you buy in the store... but for many people, that probably isn't news.
