    My video to improve the work processes of my x-ray department was shown to the department today. I received a good response. It's short, I suppose, but you get to see part of what I do for a living. And also my x-ray room and tools. This is also the same guy (in the video) who has helped me brainstorm for my project that's for school-based research, and whose opinions and work I highly value because he respects mine too.

  • @Kayeil I have a pair from here, they're pricey but pretty damned near indestructable. http://v-moda.com

    The cords (my set came with four cords I think) can be removed from the headset, and switched out for a different size. This means if they get yanked on  too hard they don't break, they just pull out, and if they are somehow ruined, you can just toss that one out and switch in another. They seem to be child proof, not sure about dogs.

    Oh awesome! These look nice. Thanks for the recommendation

  • Talking to someone about the old forums and I had to find an old thread that was just... GOLD. It was one of the few things that kept me in a good mood reading after I had my son...

    how did that thread make it to eleven pages, again?
    Aurora says, "Tharvis, why are you always breaking things?!"
    Artemis says, "You are so high maintenance, Tharvis, gosh."
    Tecton says, "It's still your fault, Tharvis."

    This was pre "don't be a jerk" forum rules. Where @Meletus reigned supreme... and was called Deletus. Oh... man it was glorious. Horrible and trolly, but glorious.

    What I found amazingly hilarious is how it was true about the Church disappearing and no one caring >.>

    Mentioned it in a rant actually, but then realized how much of a rave it is. I finally graduated after a shitty college experience. I'm moving on with my life. It's sort of surreal. Especially in light of the fact that I basically already have a job because my brother has been namedropping me hard and setting a good example. Going to rave for him since he doesn't forum. This is the second year of him teaching ever and he got Teacher of the Year over the entire rest of the high school (5a).

    Because I'm an easily amused idiot, the best part of us most likely working together is that we'll both be in the same department (math). The confusion will be glorious. Students: "I have Mr. Awesome for algebra." "I have him for algebra 2!" "He doesn't teach algebra 2 though." "What?" Et cetera.

    Going to be so fun. *Oh, and when I say "basically already have a job" I mean that I actually took my interview before I submitted an application, the principal has called me a few times to see how I'm progressing with my applications and testing, and the school's HR department is calling me in a day or so to move things forward. Everything is falling into place so perfectly I almost don't believe it. I've been depressed for the past 4+ years and having mini panic attacks before I fall asleep and now I can rest easy and look forward.

    The two assessments that I completed today were so easy, that I'm really baffled now about why I was stressing so much. I had a second Excel one to complete and it took me all of five minutes to do. The first Excel assessment I had took me a day and a half to complete, but I swear pie charts are the devil. Any other sort of chart is easy to work with, getting data for pie charts and having it display correctly.. I just don't get it. I can do it, but I just don't get it.

    All of my assessments are complete. My lecturer is pulling some strings to get my RPL through, and apart from a couple chapters in my textbook and a few integrated assignments owing, I have completed my course! I don't get to graduate until October-November though, but the work is pretty much done!

    Now... to sign up for the next course while I'm still motivated to study. I can get a credit transfer on two of the units because of the work I've just completed, so I'll only have eight units to complete (instead of the thirteen I just did), but it's still going to be triple the workload. I'll get to do work experience in a travel agency though, which is going to be so awesome. 

    Yay!!

  • Struggled to answer a rather lengthy exam question for my course. Followed KISS. (Keep It Simple Stupid) What is most simple thing I know? Answered question in haikus and handed it in.

    Finished course today. Facilitator wrote my personal feedback in haikus.
  • Currently doing online courses for a bachelors in special education. By the time I'm done I'll be licensed for special education (1-12) and elementary education (1-6). Because of the dual license, though, I have to take a total of five praxis exams (other than the praxis 1 which I took in 2005 for my associates before a lengthy break). I took all three content exams in May and got my results back this week. Passed them all with flying colors! Just a few tests and papers left then observations in September, student teaching in January, both pedagogy praxis exams, and I am done!! With having time school, full time work, and being a single mama, I never thought the day would come where the end was in sight.

    One of my best friends in the world flew to Seattle this morning for a dual kidney and pancreas transplant. He has been waiting for this moment for three years. The doctor still needs to visibly assess the donor organs, but, hopefully, everything goes well. I'm so nervous for him. This isn't the first time I've sat on pins and needles waiting for a loved one to get a transplant - my dad had a kidney transplant back in 2004 - but it doesn't get any easier the second time around. I don't think I'll sleep even a little tonight for worrying. 
    My avatar is an image created by this very talented gentleman, of whose work I am extremely jealous. It was not originally a picture of Amunet, but it certainly looks a great deal like how I envision her!
  • @Amunet your friend is in my thoughts and prayers, here's hoping he get new kidney and pancreas with no hassle.

    I'm getting a baha thingywhatsit to help my hearing lost (lost good some of my hearing, my health has been going nuts in the last few years)

    Brilliant! Pay for my move, please.

  • My partner and I celebrated four years of putting up with one another yesterday.

    I got up in front of people last night and talked about trafficking with a minimum of panic, and people found it helpful. Felt like the sky would fall, but it went shockingly well. I spoke alongside some folks who are restoring my (usually mostly nonexistent) faith in law enforcement. I am grateful there are people out there who do actually care and are willing to push for policy and procedure changes that help survivors even when it is not easy for them professionally.

    I finally completed this stupidly long training for my promotion at my main job and got to actually do what I was being trained for today. And I love it.

    It's been a pretty good week.

    considering you took student loans, wouldn't you want to make some negative multiple?

    So you're buying 10x more credits now, right?

  • no ellodin only positives stfu

    Sarathai, not 10x more. More like buy credits at all. This whole month has been "wow those are great deals but my poor ass cannot take advantage."
  • Great father's day today, got to feed my baby in the hospital with no breathing events, then dinner with wife and oldest daughter (age 2) who worked together to make my favorite meal.  Been a long time since I had a good day like this.

    Whilst writing some process documentation (boo hiss), I found today that if you use headings in M$ Word, you can drag the headings in the Navigation pane and reorder sections. (I know, simple things...)

  • I have been dorment for a while, mainly due to work and stuff. However now I have something to rave about. I moved to Denver about 2 months ago to start working for United Airlines, and honestly I am happy I did. I got a brand new car, a nice place to live, and I am bringing in really good money. I can fly where ever I want because of the benefits I have with United. Honestly, this was probably the best choice I ever made. @Tesha I'm not dead promise!
