Last Week of the Quarter

It is the last week of the Winter Quarter! I am grading the last of my finals and getting ready to listen to freshman project presentations tomorrow. This quarter has gone by pretty quickly. When you are younger they always tell you that the years start flying by, but you never believe it. I do now though. We are already nearly to Spring of 2006! It was just a few days ago that I was getting ready to go play some foosball at the BSU and see who all was hanging around, wasn’t it? Now here I am grading final exams and thinking about the best pedagogical strategy for next quarter’s senior design class, what the heck happened?

Anyway, it is still a lot of fun. I really don’t think I could go out into industry and work eight to five, five days a week with two weeks vacation a year. I have heard the old saying, “Those who can’t, teach” but I just am not made up for an industry type job (so maybe the old saying I right.) Besides, everyone is outsourcing to India and China anyway. Well, I just wanted to post a shortie so that my massive audience wouldn’t get discouraged and stop visiting my blog.

Oh I do have one item of interest stemming from the Pizza delivery incident. I sent in one of those customer response emails to PizzaHut.com and well what do you know, they actually read them. The manager of several of the Louisiana Pizza Huts called me. I explained to him my beef with the call center and the whole situation. He said he was going to send me some coupons for a couple of free pizzas and other loot. So for now, Pizza Hut is back in my good graces. So stayed tuned for the next episode when we, “Try to take over the world!” [I used to love that show. Actually, I probably still do.]
