So, the conversation goes something like this…
[bring… bring…]
Cap’n: Hello?
D: Hey boss, it’s me.
Cap’n: Hi.
D:[irrelevant small talk][/irrelevant small talk]
Cap’n:[irrelevant small talk][/irrelevant small talk]
D: Boss, you know all that money you’re planning on spending on me regarding learning to code CSS & Web Standards etc. yada, yada, yada? I have a plan to learn it all in 3 days… can I have the rest of the week off please?
Cap’n:Hmmmmm
Dee:[gratuitous sucking up and explanations][/gratuitous sucking up and explanations]
Cap’n:OK.
Happily the learning thereof isn’t costing me anything… It’s costing my new client a fortune… Cha Ching (Christmas paid for 3x over…) and if you could keep the fact I haven’t much of a clue what I’m doing on the QT that’d be excellent…
I’ll be out of office the rest of the week… in tech heaven.
Have a good one!
Gradual Achievements
Last night was one of the end of year functions.
Important in that it was college graduation and marked the end of the college career for my full time classmates. Me, being part time will finish at the end of next year. (as an aside, can you believe it’s been a year since I was agonizing over whether I could cope with study on top of everything else??? I know… amazing what you can do when you forego a social life… no wonder I’m still single… )
Anyway… You know how the graduation things are right?
Yawn with a capital Y.
Still… I couldn’t have been more proud of the girls in my class, all 5 of them; the first ever graduates of the degree program offered by the college. So the 2 hours spent clapping as people walked past us and shook dignitaries hands wasn’t really a bust. It’s a great school, setting people up for great futures. And I’m sure that Dixie, Carry On Vicar, MiniMich, Shwobble, & Bathtub will certainly fly!
Congratulations!
I’m just really bummed I have to make friends with another new set of classmates next year. And no doubt they’ll be even younger than this year’s crop…
I think it’s time for Botox.
