Yanti & Salty Mad Manatees PART 3: FULL POD (Page 31)

All of that information and I get hung up on Waterloo!  What a dive of a town!!!!!!!!! Of course I always get to see the seedy side  places I visit(Although I must say my last visit to Raleigh was quite pleasant).  Which brings me to my line of work.  Another law enforcement type here.  I am a criminal investigator for the fed.

That sounds so fun. I hope you both really enjoy the race! Tell her it's her first PR.

kgore - 2012-07-11 8:45 PM I got on the old trainer that Clint found recently at a garage sale--it works, albeit loudly! In any case, I did that, then, while fooling around on the net that I apparently have taken too many units of classes in my LONG college career (mainly at a JC--not with financial aid)and that they college doesn't want to give me my financial aid as a result---mind you my 'financial aid' is only a federal loan--already approved! So I don't know what will happen--I can appeal it, but I can't do that until next Thursday, when the FA office has drop-in counseling available. If the appeal doesn't work, then I get to drop out of college and start paying back nearly 30 grand of a school loan that led to nothing! I am so angry/upset about this---I took a lot of classes back in the day, not knowing what I wanted to do, now with a total of 8 classes left total it might be for nothing! AAAAGHHHH! I don't know whether to cry or yell.

DRINK!

Kidding - that would be super frustrating.  One step at a time - appeal, appeal, appeal - anyone with a brain would understand your situation and help to fix it.  Good luck - positive thoughts to you!

Definitely appeal.  Your school wants this to work out too.  They will find a way to make it happen.

Crossing my fingers for this to work out ... KEEP AT IT! It WILL work out.

Oh how cool! GO ERICA AND SPAWN!

Uh ... I have no idea what I do to keep rolling in rice ...

Part-time (translation = full time) I manage our family holding company. Mostly this involves keeping my dad from killing people and keeping people from killing him (including me. Getting paid to not kill someone is almost as good as getting paid to kill someone ...)

Other than that, I write things. Bread and butter is doing due diligence and writing investment analyses (which always includes political analysis as well) for entities wanting to do business or projects in Indonesia.

I'm getting some advances for books I'm writing or translating as well. WAAAAAAAAY behind. WAY. Need to write more. Need more money.

I am a Production Designer for Starbucks which means I am responsible for designing the stores (exterior where relevant and interior) in a specific region. Right now my region is New Zealand, Australia and Thailand. My specialty is Environmental Sustainability.

In addition, I work with a small start-up company doing graphic design, but that is a whole other story and certainly wouldn't fall in the category of "bringing home bacon"

In the UK making bacon is a whole different thing - plenty of ways to do it according to Fifty Shades of Grey!

HAHAHA

This is next on my list to read. I have purposely waited until after the marathon to start it so as to not loose focus...or energy HAHAHA

That's what they all say and in your case your own pictures prove you did!

sh*t.

That IS awesome!!!!! Go lil' Manatee, go!!!!

You're too far away from me to bother, besides, I like to live vicariously.

Well, well, looks like we struck a deal. I'll be staying away from Florida from now on. 

Coffe snob, eh? You would just die here in Seattle. I'm not really a coffee snob but there is some daaaaamn good coffee here.

What I think is cool is how the trend is really heading back towards the roots of coffee, the patience and the process (IE pour-over)

But I can appreciate the in-a-pinch stuff too. I totally had some 7-11 coffee with like 6 creamers in it the other day (almond joy flavor!!!)

You're making me require a late-night hot beverage which I really shouldn't be having because, well, it's late night.

Ahh yes, it's all part of the plan. Cheers!

My sister in law ran in to something similar this spring.  She had one semester left to get her nursing degree, the summer term and the school told her she couldn't borrow any more money for the school year!?!!? She was so stressed out.  Unfortunately talking to the school didn't work out for her so they ended up taking out a line of credit to pay for the one semester so she could finish. Just crazy! Call me crazy but isn't it more prudent to let her borrow the money so she can finish school and start earning money!?!?

Hope it works out for you.

It would have to be a really tight pinch for me i.e. the only coffee available on race day. And I don't know if I could do "textured",  maybe if that's all that's available before a race. My co-worker says "I'm going to McDonalds for coffee, want some?" "Uh, NO!" she just laughs

I'm really going to have to send you a shytty present one of these days.

Sigh. Why do all the Tour de Piglets piglets already have smokin' hot chicks?

Oh. Because they're young smokin' hot Tour Piglets, that's why!

But still ... you'd think some of them would be so busy riding they just didn't have time to forge a long-term partnership.

Speaking of smoking hot ath-a-letes... this is a video montage set to the theme of the 2012 Olympic games.  Might have to add the song to my run list...

Cool video

So. Hot.

I miss teaching Spinning classes ... opportunity for all kinds of great music ...
