Look at that! Content at your fingertips!
Daniel, Greg, and Windy all have the ability to post on the site now. The posts have to have me involved (after all, this is my site) but they don't have to be flattering. I hope this helps to make things a bit more interesting around here.
Food for Thought
“To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.â€

Tonight: Boondock Saints
I've seen this movie a million times but never in a theatre. If you didn't buy your tickets earlier, I'm sorry, it's sold out.

Pornocracy: A government of whores.
That word, ladies and gentlemen, describes our government.
Love your country. Fear your government.

Evals are in (update)
"In fifteen years I've never had a worse instructor." "Justin is a nice guy but he shouldn't be an instructor. I don't want him again, ever. " I spent last night thinking about my evals. I also thought about all the discouraging things that have been said to me in the past. Did discouraging comments ever stop me before? No. Did I bounce back and prove them all wrong? Always. This time will be no different. I did get some decent evaluations. I just didn't pay attention to those.

Evals are in.
This week I taught my first Citrix class. I knew from the beginning that it wasn't going well. No matter how hard you look over the material when you get up there to talk about it you have a hard time remembering what to say next. It's not that I'm nervous, I just have a hard time keeping with the book. I know my technology, I'm damn good at it. All that being said, I got my evals back and some people said some pretty harsh things. I'm hurt. Charlie (my mentor-instructor) told me this was going to happen. He says you carry that angst with you for every class you ever teach after that. He also says that's a good thing. Because I'll work my hardest to make sure I never feel the way I do right now. Chances are I'll edit this and add some details a little later.

Greetings from San Jose
Hey everyone, I've been busy teaching class here in San Jose. My allergies are killing me. The weather is perfect though. I'd type more but I have to take some notes on tomorrows lessons.
