Been Awhile

Life has been...
I don't know how do describe it lately. Stressful is the only word that comes to mind.
Last Tuesday I didn't come home from the drive-in until somewhere around the region of two in the morning. Normally this kind of behavior would bring upon me a punishment in the vicinity of "we'll talk later". But in this case it was a school night, thus I do not have a car or computer or anything else fun for that matter.

On the plus side I delivered one of the best speech's of my life yesterday, Theodore Roosevelt's Post Presidential Life and Influence. I was dressed up and everything! And yes, this is in the class I mentioned earlier.

Work has been interesting. Finally taking a few calls on my own and such, it's not half as easy as it sounds, its weird. People call in with problems, all they know is "my Internet doesn't work" or "I can't get my email" and I have to take that one sentence that tells me next to nothing and find the source of the problem, which would be easy except for the fact I can see nothing of how they are set up. How do you fix a problem when you can't see it? You have to make the person needing help, help you solve it; a vicious circle of sorts. You have to fix the problem in your mind while they do all the work. It's hard to creatively think like that.
