Got into ABAP Programming... now at 19 hours. If I take 21 hours next spring I can graduate with a marketing minor. + Information systems major + ERP systems emphasis + SAP TERP 10

it's a good thing that you don't need much sleep.

Oh, so you currently work for NCIX.

Cool.

See about a transfer? I guess its probably hard for you to even ask for something like that right?

Yeah it's not the kind of place I can really transfer. Plus aside from the anxiety I'm tired of sales in general,.

Dinner was started at 5, and still is not ready. It's called 25 minute chicken noodle medley.

I see a problem here.

That sucks man.

I was always extremely shy growing up and it probably bordered on mild social anxiety. In high school, I tried to force myself to be more social and I did go to more events and stuff my junior year, but when my senior year rolled around, I withdrew more. I missed out on so much, including pretty girls who I later found out were interested in me.

So, when I decided to temporarily (at the time) stop grad school, I got a job working for a large computer reseller/integrator as an "engineer" (more like a consultant) that was assigned to an account team that worked with large customers. The position was in a call center so I'd be forced to work with lots of different people. I took the job because I knew I'd be forced to interact with people and I'm glad I did, because it really helped draw me out of my shell.

Even still, I've gradually withdrawn since then and even though I'm married, I'm pretty anti-social. I try to force myself to do things for my wife's benefit, but man, it is hard sometimes.

Yeah sadly once it progresses to social anxiety it's much harder to treat. I'm in the process of working through some meds and therapy. In the mean time going to see if I can switch jobs.

Upcoming... $2600 tuition, probably a hundred or so for textbook(s), maybe $400 for car maintenance.

A hundred for textbook(s) plural!? Can't remember the last time I saw a textbook that was less than a hundred or very close to a hundred for a single book. Prices are crazy. Seen lots of $200+ books too. A few in the 300 range! :eek:

Damn it Locutos, you changed your avatar again.

Half the time I don't read names, I just look at that to see who's posting.

Also glad I was finally busy today. Makes the day go by so much faster.

Typically I goto bed at 11pm, wake up 6:20am.

Why is it every time I goto bed at say 10pm and wake up at the same time, I'm much more tired or feel I've had a less restful night's sleep? My sleep cycle is off or something?
