The incompetence of Ty

There’s a company that makes small, bean-filled animals. Perhaps you’ve heard of it: Ty. Several years ago, long before Ty made it big in the crazy world of People Will Collect Anything, M and I purchased two such little creatures on a whim. We were in college, and most likely inebriated at the time. I chose Chocolate Moose (naturally), and he chose Hoot The Owl (for reasons I still can’t figure out). Fast forward through the whole dating-engaged-married thing to the day we had a child, and lo, that child grew up and developed an attachment for Hoot (for reasons I still can’t figure out)(like father like daughter I guess).

You may call me “Esquire”

Today we received some grades in both of our classes. Managerial Econ was okay – I’d have preferred my marks to be higher, but I recognize that he’s a tough prof (which is a nice way of saying, “Thanks for being totally subjective in your grading, asshole”) and I’m reasonably happy with what I received. I’m still riding on an A, so I’ll take it.

Lost

We have so many responsibilities in our classes this term that I’m feeling rather lost. For instance, this week, in Business Law alone, we had to read five chapters and write up five case briefings (one for each chapter, natch). Plus the two discussion board posts, and commenting on others’ posts. Managerial Economics was two chapters, five case assignments, and the 3-5 page weekly paper. Don’t forget to tack on the damn discussion board requirement for that class, too. Bastards.

Sold!

Sold my first Yosemite print today, to the colleague mentioned in a prior post. She purchased a 20×24 black and white print of El Cap and a waterfall for her dad for Father’s Day. She said he really appreciates fine art photography, and is thrilled to get him an “original” print by a local artist. I’m thrilled that one of my prints will be hanging in someone’s house who doesn’t even know me. My customer said she had trouble choosing just one photograph, and will be purchasing more for Christmas, his birthday, etc. She’s also got one picked out for herself. Yay!

Disconnect

I went to the “cell phone store” (as Zoe calls it) today (well, yesterday, actually, since right now it’s very early Sunday morning) and adjusted my plan.
