I am Updating my Blog

There, now Jackie will be happy. I am updating my blog. Are you happy now Jackie? LOL

Let's see, what has been going on?

Well, first of all, I am finally gainfully employed - no longer on the dole - and am contributing to my 401K again. Great news! Now I can retire in 40 fucking years. Ugggggg.

My new job took me to Las Vegas last week for a conference. I was in Vegas for a day and a half and didn't even get to the strip. The conference was about 30 minutes off the strip. WTF? Why fly everyone to Vegas and keep them from the strip? Doesn't make a whole lotta sense to me - but I am simple.

School is cranking along. I am also getting an A in my Political Science class. I think I have posted this before, but I really like this class. Tonight I got the paper back that I had to write about "The Republican Noise Machine". The book completely blew, but my paper turned out much better than I had ever anticipated. Of course, it took me about three weeks to write it. It was torture. Who in the hell wants to read a book about what someone else thinks about politics, much less write about a book about what someone else thinks about politics? I sure as hell don't. The comment I received on the paper (alongside my A+) was: "Excellent work! Both a good examination of the book and of the overall topic." I got a few notes in the margins like "ha, ha" and "interesting" and "good points". The paper was complete bullshit with a bunch of funny anecdotes splashed in here and there. I had every intention of making it completely serious, but alas, I am not capable. What a bad, bad, bad book. Do not waste your time reading it.

But where there is an A, there is also a C - in geometry. It still seems Greek to me, it is a wonder I get any of the problems right. I will be happy when the class is OVER next month. I am going to get drunk.

What else...............................oh, we got a new couch. I big ass leather sectional. The thing is HUGE. I am not so sure I like it, but it was a compromise between what I like and what my husband likes - which is ugly assed poofy furniture. He goes directly for comfort and not looks (which might be why he married me come to think of it).
