Put it back.
I think it's strange how someone who puts minimal effort into something can be recognized with those who did everything. Case: Student Advocacy - Point: 2 guys went to Juneau, those two and many others wrote letters to legislature and testified in a public hearing about the need for a new engineering building and I get credit for it.
I got all of the original details and disseminated them and asked for volunteers to go on the trip. I showed up to three meetings, unaware and unprepared. They wrote all of the letters. They went on the trip. We got the certificates of appreciation at the awards banquet.
(at this point, I am searching for the preview button. Stupid google... Ooo just in: Google is a word. google has the squiggly red spell check line under it.)
Case 2: My Tau Beta Pi presidency
I delegated nearly everything because I was busy. My officers were probably more busy but picked up the pieces. I got a lot of face time due to the presidency. I got to travel. I got to know the Dean's office assistant who is always happy to see me and went out of her way to make sure that the 3 guys and I on the advocacy team made it to the banquet.
Life isn't fair, I guess. It's about showing up at the right place at the right time.
Sunburn itches. It's on the front of my shoulders where all of your shirts sit and rub. Luckily it's not all that bad of sunburn. But I've been out in the sun.
Again, life isn't fair. This last week was sunny and beautiful. Today, when I try to bike, a sport that should be pretty fast paced, it is cloudy, windy, and cold. I fought head winds for 35 minutes to have a 20 minute return trip.
Milestone: I ran 12 miles yesterday at 1 second faster than I want my marathon pace to be. I really think that I would've matched the pace if I had ran one more mile.
Wondering what the title means?
My computer died. The first. The original. The champ. The beast. (The beautiful keyboard)
I was using it this morning and and I put it to sleep and went to do something else. I came back, flipped open the screen, and it never woke up. It died in its sleep with a fully charged battery gearing up to go. Moment of silence.
I tried turning off and on. Tried plugging it in. Took it to the MacHaus and they did a quick test and nothing happened. It only had 3 weeks left to last... After almost 5 years of heavy use, they think the logic board is fried. It powered through all of my work almost as fast as the newest computers throughout its life. It ripped dvds at the speed of those new computers up to the end. Ate batteries as if they were candy. Outlasted its own charger.
I shall miss it; I always wanted to stay classic.
But! "Hollywood, we're never going down."
The next one is on its way. Hopefully its as good.
