  1. - New hat. (old one was starting to fray on the brim)

    - Something else. (My parents are playing up the whole "we can't afford one for you" thing while throwing hundreds of dollars at the grandkid's presents)

    - Money. (between $20 and $100, all from Christmas cards)

  2. And hello again to you too.

     

    Job Corps (the place I was at for the past 3 months) is going for the 'prison' theme... Bad food, bad beds, no leaving the campus without security checks, curfews, dorm inspections, etc...

  3. Funny story... I went to Job Corps (US Government funded Vocational College, with dorms) and got into their 'Computer Repair' class. The teacher first asked me how many IRQs a computer had, and I answered with: "Well, I used to have a semi-busted one that only had 15, but usually there's 16." It kinda pissed him off that I answered correctly. (nobody else in his 20-year long career as a comp repair teacher has ever known that) Then he handed me a really old floppy drive cable, and told me to tell him everything about it. I did. He was a bit miffed, but was trying to be high-and-mighty because I missed something. He mentioned that miss to the rest of the class, but didn't get a chance to say what it was, because I then asked why I needed to mention it when it was one of the most obvious features of that cable. (it was the pin-1 designator color on the cable) He stopped trying to stump me with questions about computers after that.

  4. Well, three months of having no computer (left at home when I went out-of-state for a vocational school) kinda makes it look like I died... But living is just too much fun to pass up.

     

     

    Oh, I am now an officially qualified computer hardware guru and PC repair technician. Computer questions are my specialty. (I actually know more about everything computer related than my teacher at school) I'm also working on becoming a server technician, and security specialist. Just think, some day I could be in charge of all your financial data, and it's security... Muahahahaha!
