Not Much Fun Anymore

Attending University of Delaware in the Fall. Currently I'm doing a double major of Economics / Accounting with a minor in International Business (I'm learning Chinese). That will probably change to like... Economics with a minor in International Business when I realize how much work double majors are. Unless they aren't much work, then I might stay with a the double major. Yeah.

    I'm one semester away from BAs in archaeology and sociology/anthropology. Applying to grad schools this Fall, and praying.

    BS in Systems Analysis and Design with a Writing minor
    In retrospect that sounds like the sort of major & minor I would have enjoyed.

    Like several people here, I picked up a (BS for short) in Computer Science a few years back. Since I didn't have the patience to be a full-time programmer (I could handle programming easily enough, but decided it was too tedious), I ended up as a Systems & Domain Administrator (or something like that; my official title changes periodically without notice or relevance).

    Yanno, Diet Moutain Dew isn't too terrible of a drink, but I'll be damned if it tastes ANYTHING like the regular kind.

    Eh, they're not really bad, it's just that when you look at it and think HMM COKE and get a mouth full of saccharin instead, you're probably gonna get pretty appalled by it.

    Edit - before anybody knocks me on it, yes Saccharin is only in the fountain version and Aspartame is what's used regularly, but let's not argue about ingredients in diet sodas prz k thx

    Double Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Mathematics. I'm thinking about going back to school for a graduate degree or somesuch, but that would probably require me to quit my job.

    I love working for a company that talks about work/life balance, but then turns around and requires you to work nights and weekends in addition to your 44 hours a week (on salary, no less). At least they know what the words are...

    When men master taking out the trash, mowing the grass, lifting and moving heavy furniture, plumbing and other household repairs, killing insects and rodents, and entertaining kids can we talk about women mastering those so-called household "chores."

    Those are all household responsibilites and it doesn't matter who does them (even if you hire them out) so long as they get done

    Besides, why'd you want a woman to master sewing? If she can't sew, she can't wear clothes, right?
