Law School Discussion

Trust me, there is no vanity involved.  I think it would be interesting to show all you young folks the aging process.  I will start with a high school picture, just your average
Joe, and every week or so I will post another pic showing the aging process, in my case, stress, alcohol abuse, smoking, no excercise, weight gain, all the things that have contributed to my current pathetic state at age 40.  It ain't a pretty picture. (No pun intended) Interested? 

Okay, I sent her some song lyrics over a month ago, the lyrics
are more in the form of a poem, and I kindly asked since she
enjoys analyzing poetry, would she mind analyzing the one I sent
her.  Haven't heard from her in over a month.

Anybody else good at translating lyrics/poems?  Yes, I really
want to know what the lyrics mean, what the author is TRYing to
say.  Uncharacteritic of me, I been wanting to know the meaning
of these lyrics for over 10 years!  Anybody Good at it?  I can
post the lyrics write here in a message if anybody wants to take
a stab at it. 

So yeah, I've been doing the self-employment thing for 10 years
now, it's time for a change.  For those of you who never tried it,
it can be quite enjoyable (you really can make money while you
sleep) also when you check your computer to see how much
you made while out golfing.  Down side, horrendous hours, no social
life, and up/down cycles regarding cash flow. 

So I decide a more steady income, and the security of that regular
check is the way to go now.  (I am very aware I could be fired/laid
off at any time).  So after many months of searching, I find out
that I am unhireable because I was self employed for so long, thus
unmaneageable, read: "he does things his way"  That's true to an
extent, but I can adapt pretty easily. 

So I finally get a decent job offer, 42K to start, that's cool, that's
what an entry level Econ major makes in my area, plus I get all these
benefits that I totally forgot about while being self employed. 

Problem.  The job requires me to work 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM.  I signed
up for some paralegal classes that are Monday-Thurs 7-10 PM.  I really
LOVE these classes and don't want to cancel.  Plus, if I do, I have
no more room for addendums, my GPA was thrashed by LSDAS, and it was way low
to begin with.

What would you do?  I haven't had a real job in 10 years, should I express
how important just this one Semester is, or should I never even bring it up,
and take the swing shift hours.  Their policy is all new hires work swing,
and I think they might make exceptions, but at the same time, don't want to
lose the job before I even earn a paycheck.  (wow, paycheck, don't even
remember what they look like  )

Many TIA

YAY!  Football is back.  Here's how it works, I will post all the games and the lines on Tuesday when they come out.  Everybody puts 5 bucks into the pool. Email me your picks. The person with the most correct picks, will get 80% of the pool.  2nd place, 17% of the pool, third place gets their money back.  So if there is a tie for third, or a multiple tie for third, the 3rd place winners are paid first, and the 1st and second place get their percentage of what's leftover.  Who's up for it?  5 bucks is all it takes, and ladies, in all my years of football pools, females usually win them, especially the one's who know nothing about football. (That really pisses me off, but it's true)

The accounting may be a problem.  I am thinking you all paypal me your 5 bucks and just hope I have a hair of integrity, and I get 3 percent to cover my paypal fees, and administration costs.(which amounts to probably 10 cents an hour).  If anybody knows of a better way to handle the money, I am open to all ideas.  Let's get this rolling!

WHO IS IN?

Who IS IN I SAY?

Answer to why you should play.  It makes the games more fun to watch even with only a 5 dollar investment.  Winners will be announced after Monday Night Football, and Tuesday and Every Tuesday I will list the new weeks games and lines.  If you don't know what a line is, ASK. 

WHO IS IN?  It's fun!!!

P.S.  For those of you brainstormers who come up with a way to handle the money, keep in mind I want to play too, as it stands now, I cannot make any picks because if I win, you will all think I am a scumbag.  (which I am, i just don't like to hear it everyday)

I am not one, but as far as I know, you have to be a pretty smart cookie to become an engineer.  When I was growing up, there was no Computer Engineer.  You had civil, mechanical, etc.  My Uncle, one smart ass MF, worked for GE as a nuclear engineer and help build nuclear power plants. He didn't and doesn't know a damn thing about computers. There was also an specific type of engineer that were labeled as "people who build bridges"?  What kind of engineer is that?  What does "engineer" mean?  I'm really interest in why you guys/gals chose your field, but more so, without having law school in mind as a possible career.

Many thanks....
