Hey Jack - Whose in charge here??

Hello Daywalker!

Sounds like there are Congratulations in order!!! From one graveyard worker to another - I know how wonderful it seems to you - but! On the other side of the coin, after that many years sleeping during the days, I couldn't sleep until it was daylight! That was life on the graveyard! I'm so glad you are getting out of it. Did I see that you have children, too? People who have never worked it - cannot understand it - the exhaustian, that your schedule centers entirely on your rest and how much you get! It is a pain! Good money, but a PAIN.

Actually, I think I feel happier for you than I did for myself.....but that's okay - I've been out of it for awhile and it's someone elses turn to celebrate!! Best to you! Paula Green

January 16, 2010; 9:10 p.m. - Did you Know??

Hello fellow Coursemates and Ms. Okland: I have been on an assignment today. I have spent studying this blog deal, taking its directions and building and building on my own. I came across a question on the page where you are telling your fellow bloggers about yourself, etc. that has a place on that page asking for your IM. I sat and piddled, writing scenarios, how would they use it? Network is connected to this: So, now what does this mean? Finally, I went into a search mode and stayed in it until I got my answer. If you got stuck on it, I've learned that many have! Okay! Here we go!: "IM" means Instant Message! Now, it is speaking of a Network and you have to define it. Click on that arrow down box and look at the options. Your Network is: The place where you have set-up your e-mail. Yahoo, google, Incredimail, whatever. So you select the network and then type in the address of your E-mail: I put in the one I had from day one. paulag1@bis.midco.net ; Midco is my network, in Bismarck @ my address under my name. It is like following a trail of breadcrumbs backwards. That is the information that they are looking for. Your home page URL is the page that comes up when you bring up your internet to check your e-mail. Why they can't tell you that - I have no idea. But! They were tough as nails and then I got mad and I thought "okay - you want to play? Let's go!" and I put in my original e-mail address through my e-mail company network. Guess what! That was exactly what they wanted!!! So! For those having problems - try this. It worked for me and all of a sudden, it liked me and my responses.....go figure!!!

Re: ARE WE DONE YET?

Well, if I never felt challenged before, this was the week that took me to the edge! I'd never blogged before, I didn't even know what one was or what you did on it! So! Finally, at the end of the week, there was a break-through! Not for me, but for me going to see my Admissions Counselor; admitting I didn't know what I was doing, because I'd set this up before, and now nobody could find it, including myself. It was time to humble myself and saying "I need help"! Do you know how hard that is for someone like myself? I hate saying that I am stubborn, I prefer to say "I am very determined". Then, about 10 yrs. ago, somebody looked the two words up. "Determined" referred you to "Stubborn"; and "Stubborn" referred to "Determined". Well, so much for my pride.

I still don't know what the heck I'm doing; I see the others and then I look at mine and think "Yuck"! I have always believed that less is more - but I have learned that in this case it is not true! One is good, but more is perfect! I feel very uncertain and have no idea if this is the real deal or if I'm going to lose it all again.....but, I had somebody else work it for me - so it has to work.....I just Jinx it! They fix it! Not a bad deal if your pride doesn't get in the way!!

I'm still pouting over X-mas! I had to sit in my home and stare at the walls....My internet went down, my phone didn't work and TV during the holiday season sucks! So, I slept and pouted, cooked and pouted, walked around my house and pouted....then I just gave up and got all my pouting done so I could be comfortable. I know this sounds awful, but it came as a great relief to me to hear that others got snowed out of their Christmases too! Misery does love company, after all....and I'm understanding I had a lot of company. I couldn't wait for College to start - then when it did and I saw my on-line assignment, I was too numb to know what I felt! I looked at all the curves, the links, the tip-toing around in the program and found myself lost more than found! I was fighting with my 5 min. warning pal! I got so mad, I just plain got up and quit! That was a less than brilliant move! The internet was off for another 28 hrs. So, I put me behind the 8-ball in my other life (personal) and got to play catch-up in college and at home! Yeah, I have a real problem with brilliance (The lack of it)!

So! When you are sitting around doing nothing, come on over, hop on my blog and we'll keep each other company! How's that!! Good luck to everyone else that had a week like mine. Next week, I think they'll actually start throwing homework at us! That ought to be a hoot! See you on the Blog - Paula, living in Paula's World.
