I actually like Win 8, and I don't even have a touch screen laptop. GASP, WHAT. Blasphemy!

And the 8.1 update will bring back most of the start menu functionality but that's a bit aways still.

Drafted into making fixes to a web site. Looking at the code, I'm regretting it: tons of recycled PHP with no structure, and about 90% of the files are not used. Hoping I can kill a lot of the unused stuff, but for now I'm treading carefully.

I'm working on creating a new letter for a client. I hate writing in VIPP.

First day of classes this semester for me. Just going to classes and "reading" syllabuses and getting to know my profs. I have all new profs this semester so that's nice.

Setup my room in the dorms yesterday and moved in the day before that. Same basic stuff everyone does at the begging beginning of the semester.

I don't think everyone goes begging at the beginning of the semester, but maybe I'm wrong.

Edit: I think the begging comes much closer to the end of term, but maybe I'm wrong about this as well.

Speak for yourself, I'm only 1 week in and I'm already begging for mercy. Speaking of....

There's a dude in my class who is the stereotypical annoying college freshman: despite being in a lecture hall with 350+ other students, think's this is a 1-on-1 study session with the professor and therefore asks questions after every sentence she speaks. You know what I'm talking about, there's one in almost every lecture. Pretty fucking annoying. I also feel kinda bad for him, because it's only the 3rd lecture, and most everybody is ready to dropkick him already. He's also very obviously a freshman fresh out of high school, or a sophomore who hasn't quite figured out the concept of how college works yet, looks like he's 45 because he's balding horribly, has a big bushy beard, has a lisp, clearly a weeaboo, etc. You can just tell he was picked on hard core in high school. He has aura that screams "shove me in a locker", and an annoying personality to match, too.

Well, anywho, our professor (who is totally freaking awesome btw, if you ever take CHEM at OSU, take Dr. Santagata) is the coordinator person for the jump rope club, which she advertises like every lecture, and she had the president (who holds world records for jump roping btw) come in and give a demo. This was actually pretty fucking sweet, I guess it's like a crazy-ass dance jump rope team. She's all doing her thing and practically break dancing and doing backflips while jumping rope. At the end, they ask questions. Naturally, annoying freshman douchebag asked two. I can't even remember what the first one was, but the second was "can you do martial arts style jump rope?" Everybody in the lecture hall either cracked up, cringed, facepalmed, or a combination of the three (I personally facepalmed while laughing my ass off). The girl and Dr. S were like "uuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... sure?" I died.

Learning how to drive a 120 bass piano accordion.

Sort of like learning to operate a jet engine, while also playing the piano, only you can't look at the controls.

I have a month.

First Psychology Test was yesterday. Came back positive, 100% Crazy Lunatic!

Finishing up some office work before hitting the gym and then El Jimador with the Cousin later for dinner.

Trying to find out why my program randomly threw an error when looking for a file that has that date in the name. It was looking for the date before yesterday when it should have been looking for yesterdays date. The odd thing is this is the first time it's happened, the program has been up for over a month with no issues, and the only time I check for a date is when the program starts running, at which point it checks Now() and then stores that date for use throughout processing...

Trying to pry the information out of a co-worker so I can help him with a client. I ask a question and he goes off on a rant about something I don't even care about and isn't remotely relevant to the topic, and never gives me a straight answer I asked him where fonts were located in his hierarchy of directories, and He started to tell me then started talking about his database and what certain codes mean. I'm about to go to my boss and tell him my co-worker can handle his own client, I don't care how much work he has or if he's behind on his clients because he wastes time on YouTube or other websites during the work day, it's his problem not mine!.
