After Julia's weekend visit, I havent really been doing too much, and I guess I am still down about SJSU.
At the end of this month I will be in New York for the first time ever visiting a friend and former co-worker from back in the old library days. I will also be going to a Yankees game, since this is the final season in the house that Ruth built (and Steinbrenner upgraded), and will be going to the baseball hall of fame. Hopefully by then I will have some fun pics and stories.
I did have an elderly woman call today, who was extremely fun to listen to. I cracked up on the phone after she said "...I have AT&T and they SUCK!"

In the first 15 minutes at work on Sunday
Other than the aforementioned stampede...
"we got into the study room first but then some intimidating women told us they were there first; they had been waiting OUTSIDE longer..."
"the alarm for the computer room is going off..."-all staff
"could you please keep it down (us to a tutor who was almost shouting to (not at) her student"
"why is a woman like you working in a place like this?" -to a coworker of mine from an elderly customer
"could i get another laptop, because this one isn't doing what I want it to do with security issues."

It's time (again) for Dodger Baseball
After work last night, my pal AK called to ask if I wanted to go to the Dodger game after going last night! So 3 of us from work made the trek from OC just in time to catch the Dodgers TEN RUN first inning, topped off with a Matt Kemp grand slam!
The joy wore off a bit (I linked to it in the title),when the home plate umpire was hit right in the face with a Brad Penny fastball, and was knocked out. The ambulance had to come directly to home plate. It was pretty scary. Memo to all you who had your cameras flashing and cell phones recording, SHOW SOME CLASS.
I think that was the first time I had gone to back to back Dodger games ever, and to games in general since we had Long Beach Riptide season seats back when I was in college.
GO BLUE!

A long, sentimental, nostalgic day
This week I got the denial from SJSU for library school due to sub-required GPA.
So I drove out to my alma mater, CSUF, to request a transcript to see just how many community college classes I would have to take to raise it to San Jose's standards.
*On a side note, if you see the picture of me in the hospital, that is close to what I looked like the last year of my college days. It was truly a miracle that I even finished! Anyway, I dont think SJSU would take that into consideration.
I still find it hard to swallow that over a decade of experience amounts to nothing if the GPA doesnt fit. I'm not an imbecile am I? I haven't been fired from a single job, let alone for incompetence.
All that being said, it was nice to be on campus again. It is the 10 year anniversary of my graduation, and I felt quite nostalgic. So for the first time in 10 years, I went to my favorite place on campus. I hit up the Carl's Jr right next to Langsdorf and University Halls! I recognized an employee from my school days.
I got home, and relaxed for a while, until it was time to go to my first Dodger game of the season (thanks Jack). The game went 13 innings, with a Dodger victory, and I got home after 1am, only to get up at 7 for work today.
