Bang Your Head - Sing it with Me

Mental Health will Drive you Mad...

My computer took the open letter to heart and refused to format the new discs I just bought. Fearing my powerpoints were forever trapped on my harddrive I find an old disc from my WI stash that I knew worked. It says it'll take 25-45 minutes to format. WTF? THis is usually done in a matter of seconds. It does take 25 min. to format. When it ejected it didn't give me the security options and went just for the read on all computers (which is what I wanted). It did read on teh school computer.

However, two things happened today. The other dr. didn't show because it was her last free day, she lived 40 miles away and gas is now 2.70 here (but she didn't email me until something to 2 pm and I didn't look at email until 330 because my computer at work wouldn't log on (there were two devans so there was a problem) So I whipped myself into this frenzy for nothing. And the other dr and I had lunch and the upshot is no one wants to even put up a powerpoint because of copyright issues.

I might get away with using the text box CD rom illos or do my own (Oh yeah right) well the one book has bunches of illos and NO key to them. Bang head some more. Then I get the brilliant idea (surprised that neither I nor my esteemed collagues ever thought of this) google copyright free science images and found websites dedicated to that. Now to spend tonight removing all the pictures it took me hours to find....and replace them.

Stay safe inside insanity...

nothing is ever simple, is it? Stay sane if you can.

So was today your first day teaching? Or something else?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

And here I was worried you'd get to your first day of class, try to put the PP presentation up, and find out it didn't copy onto your CD right.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes that would be much scarier. give me time

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]
