~*Studying and dizziness and a few laughs*~

Hiya!

So, I've completed registering for classes and I'm due to start on March 21.

Just so you know :)

My first two classes are: COM 110 Effective Persuasive Writing. And IT 101 Skills for Learning in an Information Age.

I'm starting at the bottom floor and I've got a long way to go. It's been quite a few years since I cracked open a book, but I'm hoping I'll do okay.

I still have to order my books. They are not going to be as much as I first thought, but they are pretty expensive. The most expensive book I have to buy is $121.00, but that comes later in the course.

After 21 months and a lot of blood, sweat and tears...haha...I'll be the proud graduate with a degree...Associate's Degree of Arts in Business.

I know that doesn't sound all that special to a lot of you, but for someone that's stuck in retail and looking for a way out, I think it's pretty damn special. At least I'm trying and you got to start somewhere :)

After I graduate from that, I'm not sure which course I'll take next, but I'm looking forward to it.

*sprinkles sugar on those last words, because I may end up eating them*

Hee-hee :P

Okay, so other than school, what's been going on with me? Hmm...I'm dizzy. No, dear, that's dizzy, not ditzy.

It seems as if I'm suffering from vertigo once again. I'm not sure what triggers it, and I take medicine for it, but I have a sneaky suspicion that it's stress.

I've had it since last Thursday after having an argument with my boss on Wednesday. I missed work Thursday and Friday because I couldn't sit up, lay down, or use the potty without staggering everywhere.

I returned to work on Monday and my dizziness has gotten better every day, but I still have it and I have to be careful when and how I move.

On Monday night, I went to bed and decided that I wanted to sleep on my left side. When I'm having these dizzy moments, I have to move slowly and I started to move to the left from where I was lying on my back. Just then my whole world shifted and the room began to spin. I returned to laying on my back and I tried to focus my eyes on the light fixture in the ceiling to bring myself out of the spin and things only got worse from there.

When I usually have these dizzy spells, the movements in my head are always the same. It's usually one direction or the other. Well, this time it started out like that, but it was almost like part of my brain was spinning to the right and the other part was spinning to the left and they were crashing into each other. I was very scared because it went on longer that usual and my eyes were moving up and down in their sockets so fast I couldn't stop them. I thought at one point in time, I could hear them sloshing around. It almost seemed like a seizure of some sort to me.

Pretty scary stuff, but I've yet to call my doctor and let her know what happened.

I'm just not smart that way :P

So, in short...I'm ready to study...I think my brain is fighting it...and...oh, yeah, I'm sleepy :) ~lata

Before I go, here's a few funnies for ya :)

Little Mikey

Little Mikey's neighbors had a baby.

Unfortunately, the baby was born without ears.

When the mother and new baby came home from the hospital, Mikey's family was invited over to see the baby.

Before they left their house, Little Mikey's dad had a talk with him and explained that the baby had no ears. His dad also told him that if he so much as mentioned anything about the baby's missing ears or even said the word ears he would get the spanking of his life when they came back home.

Little Mikey told his dad he understood completely.

When Mikey looked in the crib he said, "What a beautiful baby."

The mother said, "Why, thank you, Little Mikey."

Mikey said, "He has beautiful little feet and beautiful little hands, a cute little nose and really beautiful eyes."

"Can he see?" asked Little Mikey.

"Yes", the mother replied , "we are so thankful; the Doctor said he will have 20/20 vision."

"That's great", said Little Mikey, "cuz he'd be shit outta luck if he needed glasses."

Computer Illiterate?

1. Compaq is considering changing the command "Press Any Key," "Press Return Key" because of the flood of calls asking where the "Any" key is.

2. AST technical support had a caller complaining that her mouse was hard to control with the dust cover on. The cover turned out to be the plastic bag the mouse was packaged in.

3. Another Compaq technician received a call from a man complaining that the system wouldn't read word processing files from his old diskettes. After trouble-shooting for magnets and heat failed to diagnose the problem, it was found that the customer labeled the diskettes then rolled them into the typewriter to type the labels.

4. Another AST customer was asked to send a copy of her defective diskettes. A few days later a letter arrived from the customer along with Xeroxed copies of the floppies.

5. A Dell technician advised his customer to put his troubled floppy back in the drive and close the door. The customer asked the tech to hold on, and was heard putting the phone down, getting up and crossing the room to close the door to his room.

6. Another Dell customer called to say he couldn't get his computer to fax anything. After 40 minutes of troubleshooting, the technician discovered the man was trying to fax a piece of paper by holding it in front of the monitor screen and hitting the "send" key.

7. Another Dell customer needed help setting up a new program, so a Dell tech suggested he go to the local Egghead. "Yeah, I got me a couple of friends," the customer replied. When told Egghead was a software store, the man said, "Oh, I thought you meant for me to find a couple of geeks."

8. Yet another Dell customer called to complain that his keyboard no longer worked. He had cleaned it by filling up his tub with soap and water and soaking the keyboard for a day, then removing all the keys and washing them individually.

9. A Dell technician received a call from a customer who was enraged because his computer had told him he was "bad" and "invalid." The tech explained that the computer's bad and invalid responses shouldn't be taken personally.

10. An exasperated caller to Dell Computer Tech Support couldn't get her new Dell Computer to turn on. After ensuring the computer was plugged in, the technician asked her what happened when she pushed the power button. Her response, "I pushed and pushed on this foot pedal and nothing Happens." The "pedal" turned out to be the computer's mouse.

11. Another customer called Compaq tech support to say her brand-new computer wouldn't work. She said she unpacked the unit, plugged it in, and sat there for 20 minutes waiting for something to happen. When asked what happened when she pressed the power switch, she asked, "What power switch?"
