Only 100 to go until 41,000
Sorta both. I implement PeopleSoft systems, so sometimes it is an upgrade and sometimes it is a new installation. I make it a point to understand the functionality (I plan on getting a CPA this year just for the heck of it).
But the scope of the project and the technological infrastructure determine how much influence I have on what we can do. But I always look out for the client (even if they disagree about what is "best" for them).
When all is said and done (which I prefer over the more consulatant-esque "at the end of the day") I always feel good about my advice to the client.
Wooo! Join the club! :-)
Yay! The thread gets quiet without certain people.
Which people? LOL!
Is it odd to make stuffing for a snack at 11 pm?
I was thinking of a place that would have
victorian houses everywhere. Where the
city just fades into the little towns &
country. Somewhere you can just walk
& get lost in a conversation with someone.
LOL! You might like Lord Dunsany--he wrote like that.
Hi! How are you? :)
Shhh! I can't tell you. Just listen! *crickets
chirp, I stomp rug & they quit* See?
I was eating some cheese ravioli at 11pm... so I guess not.
I'm doing fine. I'm taking it easy tonight. : ) Just eating some chicken flavor stuffing for a snack. LOL!
LOL!
You know, I'd never heard of
him till you mentioned him before...
That little kink in my brain will
make continuing the story a bit
of a strain, but I will try.
I also wrote another vampire poem, if you want to read
it. I had planned on something else, but it went in another
direction. I had intended something like my story.
I am probably not the only one who may be beginning to get the impression that your parents are overprotective. Maybe you prefer it that way. And I don't say this to be insulting, I simply mean that I think you both might benefit from some separation time, so that you can exercise your wings, and they can learn to let you.
I think you would benefit from spending some time away at school, almost any kind of school. It would probably matter less what you studied, than that you lived apart for a while.
After a year or so, you could move back with the folks if you wanted to, and you could interact on a more adult level with each other. None of my business, of course, but you tend to come across as a plaintive waif, and I think you're actually stronger than that.
It got quiet again. *crickets chirp*
I often complain about not doing anything. Noone listens. I
never got to complete my education. I had finally convinced
my mom to let me leave that... school (torture chamber is more
like it) & we had planned to have me homeschooled my senior
year. The books were never bought, so I never got started. I
was resigned to the fact I'd need my GED... NOT what I wanted.
I was sent to classes, but made it there less & less till I didn't go
at all. I haven't gone for my GED. As I've mentioned before, I'm
also told I don't need a job. I can't drive, no license... not even a
permit. My parents are helping my brother & can't afford me. I
have no friends to turn to. My best friend is at college in Vt & has
her own parents to deal with (her own mom told her she never
wanted her... nice people). She had offered to let me stay with her
if she didn't have a roommate, but she was paired with one this year.
The only guys around are... they're just idiots. A certain guy I really
care about moved away. His parents have been urging my dad to
look for a job near them, but he's just waiting for one to fall from the
sky. They moved in February & it's the end of the year. An offer just
hasn't presented itself. I'm really lonely & anytime my mom or I mention
moving to my dad he gets rude & hisses at us. I've broken down in a fit
of tears twice in two or three days over all this & more. It doesn't matter.
I even told mom I just wanted out, just gone. I heard the same thing as last time.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind disappearing for a while, but I don't see it happening.
You want me to get dynamite?
*crazy gleam in eyes*
I'll make it really quiet...
LOL!
