Argh III

In my introduction conference entry for my CMIS class, I said I hate school group projects. At work it's fine, people are motivated and interested - the mission gets accomplished. My dislike continues to be fueled by the current group project I'm participating in. I posted up template documents, did my part quickly, completely, and early to provide exemplar material to make it easy for my teammates to follow the template ... and we needed everyone to the the first part done by last night. Of the other three folks, only one had anything done. Me == Sad.

I've finished my Geology course - that's the last of the General Education Requirements retired. All that's left is upper division electives - the one that I've got three weeks left in now, two in the Summer session, and two in the Fall. Huzzah!

So sorry for the delay in this post - my life is pretty bloody full right now, and daylight savings time sent me for a loop. Feeble excuses at best, but I'm here now...
