If Wishes Were Horses

Ahhh , it must be springtime because the scams are bursting out all over. On one MT message board alone, I have counted no fewer than six threads this last week or so from starry-eyed MT wannabes hoping for advice on school choice, or thinly-veiled propaganda

Is Coding Any More Secure Than MT?
March 30, 2009 8:08 AM

Jeanne Johnston
I notice that Advance has no one here blogging about coding, yet the discussion forum is predominantly skewed that way. Does the topic just not lend itself to conversation because it is so black and white, like accounting? When I realized my art major

It seems most issues of Advance contain at least one letter from a new graduate, bemoaning the fact that regardless of the field, there's a Catch-22 wherein you need experience to get that first job, but you can't get that first job because no one's willing

I don't expect any sympathy from people who are probably sitting under two feet of snow whilst I'm fluctuating between 50s and 80s, but this is a time of year I find crucial for recentering myself and regrouping for the coming year. Forget New Year's

Runnin' on Empty

I don't know what it is. Could be the fact that it's winter--though that's kind of theoretical in FL, despite the fact I've had to close the house up, and as I work graveyard, I don't see the sun year-round, so this is not a change for me. Could be that

Be Here Now

My mom and I, separated by about 1500 miles, have settled into a little email routine wherein we are as content to touch base with such oh-so-non-newsworthy events as trash day, the arrival of the lawn guy, turning on the A/C, opening the house, and occasionally,

Live and Learn

I think I blame Hurricane Fay--the dumb storm that, instead of plowing into Florida and falling apart once it hit land like a normal storm, pooped along in its own leisurely way and simply dropped a couple feet of water on us over the course of last week--for

Yes, I’m still studying for my Computers in Healthcare final, so nothing exciting (or dire) to report there--but I have been cogitating about the course in general and I’m curious to know if others have had the same, better, or worse experiences with

Stress and then some

I'm happy to see another career-changing blogger here , but I can't decide if her narratives are more comforting (aha--someone who can empathize with me!) or just compound my anxieties. I don't know if it's the fact that I'm approaching the do-or-die
