Me being crazy, I am taking yet another class. This one's sort of a refresher: Introduction to Information Security for Federal Systems. It's at the USDA grad. school which surprisingly teaches govt. course not limited to the USDA
  So far it has been the typical CompTIA training and we really haven't discussed Federal Systems at all. On that note, it's a 5day condensed course and I could teach 90% of what we have gone over. A graduate course or not, I am the only one who is not already a Federal Employee, and the only one under age 30. The course is nether IT nor security oriented. It seems to me that the class is more managerial oriented. Meaning I believe the class is for Federal employee supervisors who have IT staff under them and only need to know what the those in the IT dept. can do from a security perspective.

I decided to contact an old professor who, used to have contacts in Washington. I was sorry to hear that he was diagnosed with cancer shortly after retirng this year. He was one of the few Penn State Professors I could respect. His 400Level Foreign Policy class was actually enjoyable and one of my better college memories.

What I thought was funny was when he described PSU as a "left-wing shithole" and was glad to be away from there.

I'm tired of family screaming matches. I wonder what it's like to have a mother who supports you instead of calling you stupid all the tiime and blaming you for things that aren't your fault. And for that matter, I'm disappointed my own mother doesn't have any insult in her limited vocabulary other than the word "stupid".

Why can't I find a job in which I can support myself and move out? I think it's racial discrimination because of my last name. But that's a different story

I failed the Post Office Clerical Abilities Test. The questions on this test were easy. I figure the only way I failed were the time constraints. The test I want to take is the Clerk Test but I have to wait til that is offered somewhere I can get to.

But honestly, I've failed all the job tests I've ever taken except one. And of course that one was an alchohol safety test so I could be certified to sell alchohol. I graduated from 2 colleges, one of which I had a 3.55 GPA. This is illogical.

I went out to check on the pool and there was a mouse right along the steps. As it was running away from me (I assume) it ran in to the pool. I tried to fish it out with the net but the little bugger swims faster than I can push the net through water. After a few minutes it disapeared
When I came back from the gym I went to check again and saw the thing swimming around. This time I caught it and got it out of the pool.
Who knew mice could swim?

I reek of cigarette smoke. And I wasn't even smoking. I guess bars do that to you. Except for those liberal cities where they have out lawed smoking in bars

Now this is newsworthy.

I realize now why my allergies were so bad when I was younger. It's Dogs! The inside of (my sister) Jen's house was an allergy nightmare. It's hard to believe those dogs used to be mine.

Anyway the real point of the trip to Maryland was so I could spend a few more days with my nephew and niece, and see a little of our Nation's Capital. So I ended up wandering int D.C. (near the Smithsonian) by self because the kids wouldn't stop screaming and need some alone time. It's nice to be able to use public transportation when not living in the middle of nowhere. 

The next morning we had a family outing to the zoo, and of course my sister's friend came along. Getting to my real point, it bugs the crap out of me my nephew likes my sister's friend (Tresa) better than me. Jessica, my one of my sisters and my nephew's mother, told me to "get a life." I admit my life blows but it still bugs me the kid likes her friend better than me.

I was watching Lingo and the word was "NAIVE". The woman pronounced the word  NAVE. Of course Chuck Woolery did not correct her. Before commercial, Mr. Grammatically Incorrect did give a short lecture on how important grammar is in finding a job.  
The part you were all waiting for. Why did I write an entry on yet another grammatical error on Lingo? This episode was Student/Teacher. Yes, that's right an English teacher made mispronounced "NAIVE".
