  "I'm warning you," she said. "My secret power is pathetic fallacy." "Whatever." He shrugged. "Anyway, baby, it's over." Sighing, she opened an umbrella. A moment later the sky burst into tears of sleet and hail that ruined the boy's new shoes and effectively nullified the warranty on his iPod. "Oh, that pathetic fallacy," he said. -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -

    
  Life of Me:

  Work has been heinous. I have been working 10+ hour shifts and it's looking like 6 days a week for the next month or so. It's just been a lot of work! You already knwe that Steven and John Smith are "no longer with the company." We had also hired Sir Thomas to be a new S.A, here's the latest gossip in what I am calling our supervisor rotation/revolution.  On Monday, Marc our day shift adminstrator left the company, on Tuesday Phoung and Jan, two of our floor supervisors, walked out midshift. On Wednesday, Sir Thomas left the company. Also on Wednesday Matt was hired as a dayshift supervisor and Bobbo was hired as a floor supervisor. Friday we had our monthly meeting.  Also did I mention Thursday we had 48 people walk through the door for training?! (Grant as many of them were shitty temps, but the end of the day only 38 remained) It has been crazy. There have been so many changes. I would consider leaving the company if I could find something with as good pay and flexible hours and (for me at least stablity) but I know I won't. I am just pray I get a good raise and a good review at the end of the year.

  

  School: is going alright. We made it through our presentation in multicultural diversity and I think we truly did well. I just need to make it through the quizzes for the remainder of the year and we should be alright in that class. History is the highlight of my day. I love the teacher I love the class. I just struggle to get the reading done and icky essay quizzes every Monday. Mte180 is my 2nd favorite class. I actually do the homework for it on a regular basis and the alternative algorithms we been working on intrique me immensely. I have learned 2 different algorthims for addition, 2 for subtraction and lattic multiplication. Very very exciting.  On the other hand I had my MAT142 class because it is way below my level and I don't have motivation to do the homework. (always a struggle for me) however it is definitely a learning opportunity, because now I can get to know yet another spectrum of math student (the bored one) first hand which will help me better relate to my students in the future.

  Social life: I haven't really had one. There hasn't been opportunity really as I have been working so much and all my friends seem to be on conflicting schedules. I've seen Erica at school and this Saturday Chris and I got together for dinner and some movies. We went to Chilli's and watch Primal Fear and The Usual Suspects. I really liked Primal Fear (the end is such a kicker!) and the Usual Suspects had a good ending but a slow pace.

  Family: I did spend some time with Mom and Rachael and I sorted some of our closet stuff into keepers and give aways. Dad won 3rd place in another run and is down to a snug size 38 (from his pre-January size of 44) I am proud of him. Ben and I argued a lot this weekend. Our relationship lately has not been as I would like but I am sure we will work it out.

  LUANN:
