Professor S

Still jobless, but it has been great not working at PFs. I realized how negative and dark that place is. If any of you have ever worked in the service industry, you know what I am talking about.

In the process of finding a new job, I thought about teaching. While i wasnt expecting to do much, since i dont have any teaching experience or certification, i was just looking to do something in the community where i could pass along some of my computer knowledge. After a couple phone calls and emails, I am now going to teach a computer class at Pikes Peak Community College (PPCC) here in Colorado Springs (SPGS). From the first phone call to the offer, it was about 2 hours. I was completely caught off guard, but am excited.

The class is basic computing and only a 100 level class, but it should be fun. Also, it is on Peterson Air Force Base. I understand that PPCC has a remote location there. And, it will be a bit of a consentrated course. For the four weekends in October, I will be teaching Friday night and all day Saturday. It doesn't bother me too much; the experience will be great.

Work Schmerk

Well, I just quit my job today. I kind of just walked out at the end of my shift, and I am not going back. I was working at PF Chang's, a Chinese restaurant.

After graduating last May, I thought it would be fun to get a low responsibility job so I could do some traveling because I had sisters in 3 different locations across the world at the time. I also wasn't quite ready for the whole 'career' thing at 22 years old. Therefore, when I moved back to Colorado Springs (SPGS) after graduation, I got a job as a server at PFs. It was fun and did allow me to be flexible with my time and travel. The big trip I took was to Panama to see my sister Patricia. (That was a great time, maybe I will post on it later.) Anywho, I got tired of waiting tables. I think I felt like I should be doing so much more.

So, without any other plans, I quit my job and now am looking to do something with my degree: B.A. in Computer Information Systems.
