(from Falling Fifth)
full.
I’ve managed to fill up the 35 GB “documents” partition of my hard drive. How? Let me tell you:
22.2 GB of pictures (16,362 photos!)
8.46 GB of music (2,400 songs)
2.26 GB of accumulated college coursework (1,109 papers, graphs, powerpoints, etc.)
Well. I honestly did not realize I had that many photos on my hard drive.
And now, I’m running SyncBack backup software on my external hard drive, just in case the four-year-old drive inside my computer ever decides to die…
Done.
The tests are done.
The projects are done.
The papers are done (three due today).
I’m done.
That fact has definitely not set in yet. It probably doesn’t help that I’m still at school for the next three days, working. But, I am DONE with schoolwork for the indefinite future.
On to the next adventure in life…
jobs
There are some really cool jobs out there… and some really not-so-cool jobs.
Cool job: web developer for CHANGE design group, a design company in Chicago that works primarily with faith-based organizations and does a good job of it.
Not-so-cool job: PowerPoint Creation and Design position. Job requirements include the ability to make RAW graphics & symbols (Like triangles, squares, and circles) inside the presentation with a coherent work flow. The ability to integrate pictures into the frame and overlay text where appropriate.
Also on the not-so-cool list: jobs that subtly mention in the job descriptions things like “flash banner advertisements” or “HTML emails” (aka spam emails….)
Don’t worry, I’m using the discernment skills that I learned from my college education and not applying for the not-so-cool jobs…
