March 1, 2011

First of all, a HUMONGOUS thank you to 'Vin' on the help forums for answering a question that I didn't even have to pose since it was already answered(Posed by jathre, here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/blogger/thread?tid=72fe5a2c00e398b0&hl=en). Blogger's help forum may well be the first that I didn't get frustrated trying to get help with a question. Thank you for making my life ten times easier. Now, did you want to come run the help desks at my school? You'd probably talk half of the first year dropouts into staying, seriously.
Yay! Such a simple solution, and so much of a difference. I only want to edit the html when there's an issue, jeeze. This could have been so much more click and go. I don't like editing html. It's so much work for so little everything. I probably should have just clicked around for a bit, I might have figured it out. Now that I know, it's much easier. Also I learned how to strike words out like this.
I didn't realize it would be so easy; I thought that strikethrough's tag (which is an s in the pointy parentheses) would mean more. I guess it makes sense. (Apparently the blog machine that puts it all together doesn't work like it does in my head. I wanted to do this whole, long thing with html both in the post and in effect, but it keeps screwing up and tells me that they're all errors. Oh well.)

Anyway, I've been busy, and not writing, I know. Here's what I've been up to.
And I took a sick day at work after snapping at undeserving customers on all of Sunday.
Well, maybe they did deserve it. "Antique" in my books, as cool as "antique" is when it's all "rustic", is still "garbage" in VV's eyes, guys. I don't know how to explain it without saying that we don't take it because it's broken/old/dusty/rotting/rusty/etc...
I think it's cool. You think it's cool. VV either a)sees an excuse to sell it for 3x the worth of it or b) chucks it in the trash. (likely b).
When I say we can't take it, it's because we will throw it away without considering it, and that's a lot of really cool stuff that could end up being loved by a friend or family member or junk shopper or trash diver that we will just ship directly to trash after writing me up for taking it.
Baah! I just can't tell people that at the door for fear of my managers hearing me, because we're supposed to sell VV as a good place that 'donates' all of their stuff to other countries and gives money to charity.

Anyway:

Yes. Those are my attempts at dehydrating potatoes for potato chips. I'm that cool. I'm actually currently on a health food kick, but am failing ridiculously since I can't seem to stop eating while doing homework. And not good eating, either. Yesterday I nom-nommed on like, eight little hard candies in twenty minutes. Then the canister was empty. Considering one is like, three hundred calories, I think I lost in that battle. Big time. I'll let you know, anyway, whether dehydrating potato chips actually works :P
It's my problem with doing homework. I can't seem to be able to keep my attention on it long enough. I should be doing it now. But I will say that my kobo makes it ridiculously easier to do readings on. It doesn't hurt my brain to read the computer screen pdfs anymore. Wooh!!
So, off I go to write more about linguistic anthropology. It's okay, I've already done the readings once. Now I just have to write about them.
Happy first week of March!

Lolz, eta: I had to fix the strikethrough after blogger "fixed" my errors: It edited the html for the page and EVERYTHING (profile, buttons, etc..) was in strikethrough after it started in the post. Lolz. It was kinda hilarious...
