Worthless class...
Worthless class...
Ok, I need some entertainment. I'm in a class, and it's worthless. Truly, I don't have to study, read, or study - there aren't any tests. "Lecture" consisting of the teacher sitting and telling us I.T. war stories, "presentations" where we give a 20 minute talk (my group already did this), and guest speakers who could put Baby Sounder to sleep.
We deemed this class "happy hour." Yes, that's right - several of us have cocktails flowing in innocent-looking water bottles. I'm sipping on Crown Royal and ice.
I need stimulation and entertainment. I can't type super quickly because it makes noise but I know not everyone is in class so let's hear some stuff! Tell me about your dives this weekend. Tell me about your rescue class!! Ask a question?
Please, the most interesting part of this ridiculous class is NWDC. Help!!

Oh come on, it can't be as bad as sitting in the Houston airport on your way to Tulsa for the week, where I am right now!!!!
...but on to better subjects. Rescue class was a blast this weekend. I really enjoyed getting know know so many NWDC members. Not only are they a lot of fun, but great divers too. How was the post class dive on Sun.?? Were you able to see anything? From the reports I've seen, there wasn't much out there in the ooz.

No, this class is painful. Right now I'm listening to a student presentation on the "potential business benefits of search engine optimization" and I'm enjoying the 2nd half of my water bottle of Crown & ice... only 25 more painful minutes.

I thought this thread was going to be an analogy regarding nitrogen narcosis...I'm drinking but the class is easy so it's OK then then someone threw a math problem at me and I flunked out of school.

Re: Worthless class...
I keep my EMD (Equiv. Martini Depth) to a reasonable level so I can handle anything they throw at me. Trouble is, nothing is thrown at us in this class.gcbryan wrote:(by the way, good luck tomorrow Lynne)

Tonight's class is a different story... there will be no cocktails in tonight's business law class.

Sounds like some of the Insurance law and regulation classes I have taken. Dry as toast, and dead as a 2 week old road kill. Those are classes where your rearrange your garage or remodel your home in your head.

I don't miss those days one bit! My brother is up at Western and I hear all the time about his boring classes and the teachers he can barely understand (guess nothing has changed). This was usually me in class

Re: Worthless class...
The guys from alexa made a pretty good case based on data that fixing the way that Amazon returned stuff to Google's search engine and fixing URLs to make the search ranking work correctly meant something between $100-500M/yr to top line revenue to Amazon. I was pretty amazed by the amount of money that we'd been leaving on the table, and how relatively easy it was to fix it...Sounder wrote:No, this class is painful.

THAT sounds interesting. My class, on the other hand, involved nothing like that.lamont wrote:The guys from alexa made a pretty good case based on data that fixing the way that Amazon returned stuff to Google's search engine and fixing URLs to make the search ranking work correctly meant something between $100-500M/yr to top line revenue to Amazon.
