Cheaper than Psych

The 21st Century

Fri, 15 May 2009 18:20:59 GMT

I guess it is all my own fault. My routine was disrupted and I failed to show up to work on time. This is something I do approximately once every 5 years. It's not a serious issue but apparently people started to worry (I was 15 minutes late for a class) and tried to call me. Now this makes perfect sense and would normally have solved the issue BUT, I had run out of the house so quickly that I had not bothered to grab my cellphone.
So I arrived at school and nothing is a problem, taught the remaining 20 minutes of class, and basically came home because I only had the one class today.

I know people who are always 15 minutes late an no one worries about them.

Roeper Philosophy

There has been some discussion lately examining the 1999 Philosophy statement. I recall differing opinions on it at the time but don't remember what exactly they were. Do any of you have any recollections?

Min-mei or Lisa Hunter?

I think I was always vastly more into Lisa Hunter.

Just in case you hadn't noticed I'm running for the Roeper Board of Trustees. By now, you (or your permanent address) should have received a postcard in the mail with the web address (http://www.formassembly.com/forms/37406) to vote at on it. If you haven't gotten one email or call Sam Locke (samuel.locke@roeper.org) about it. The voting closing on April 30 and I'm guessing some of you may never see that card before then.

$$$ Money

Wed, 11 Apr 2007 17:49:43 GMT

I just finished my taxes and boy does having a house help. I owed the feds like $450 but because of all the property taxes I paid te state is refunding me over $500. Yay money.

Also, because of those same property taxes being slightly lower than the bank thought they'd be my mortage company refunded me over a hundred bucks from my tax escrow.

All told I'm going to get about $250.

Which of course I just spent on tickets for tomorrow night's Red Wings game. Section 118 Row 14. Or look here if you want to be jealous: Joe Louis Seats

The Big Apple seems to be calling to me again. What are you doing the weekend of November 3-4-5? I have a three and ahalf day weekend. I was thinking I could fly in Thursday night and find some non-9-5ers to hang with on Friday day...or stay up really late Thursday night and sleep til afternoon ;) In any event I'd love to hear from y'all on the subject anyway. (Ok so I've been hanging out with Southerners again.)

P.S.
I am much better at writing mass emails than true "journal" entries. You may now continue.

Bored. And it's all YOUR fault.

Sun, 13 Aug 2006 20:59:24 GMT

Not really, I just wish I was busier in the summer than I am. I feel like people never call me. Howevr it always turns out I've been involved in three activities already that day and now that I've been sitting around from 5-8 I'm getting incredibly bored. It must be tie for school to start or I'd have to lok into some more hobbies.

So apparently my 6 month subscription to Ticket 2 Ride online has expired. I believe my highest ranking was 94th. What should I click at now?

I'm looking at Treo's and Blackberry's. Anybody know why PalmOS is better than MicroSoft? (I don't know if that's true I just want it to be.)

Condo Buying

Wed, 24 May 2006 20:55:30 GMT

As it's now almost a deal I will announce (and not feel like I am endangering any baby chickens) that I am procuring a new domicile. I will have more details once I sign some more paperwork. It's a nice 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath, townhouse with a basement near the mall.
