Today is a rare day where we both have the day off. Actually, I might go into the office later, but first we are going all over the country looking for junk at garage sales and two estate sales. We should be back by lunch, and then we’ll see how I feel about getting 2-3 hours at work to pad my week.
It was a full and fulfilling week at work because of my newest project: upgrading my database to a newer GUI, streamlining the reports, and adding a whole new feature that involved a many-to-one relationship between an established 5,000 record table and a new table that we will be populating with nearly 12,000 data points this week in a major effort to track everything we’ve been tasked with.
We got a big bonus with this month being a 5 Friday month for her paychecks and I have 3 this month. We opened a second savings account that is non-liquid in our minds and our goal is to get the recommended 3 months’ of savings in there. Tuition for the Fall is all settled and I already got my reimbursement for Summer term and bought my books. Technical Writing is just one (expensive) textbook and Modern Short Novel is a textbook, 2 novels, and 2 thick books with many short novels.
Anyway, that’s my life update… real blog content later. Off to shop.

The lack of posts has been a result of relaxing and having nothing on my mind other than getting my grade back. I ended up with 30 slides, which I will be posting as soon as I take care of some disclaimers on some logos I used.
The Summer B semester ends on Thursday night with my group’s final presentation to the class, professor, USF webmaster, and the university marketing department. I have been busy creating a kick-butt presentation and adjusting the order, wording, and creating graphics for our made-up product. After spending hours of researching what makes a great and awful (not awe-full) presentation, I think we are on the right track for an entertaining and convincing proposal.
The presentation is basically a 10-15 minute marketing proposal for our 
I’m not concerned about the length of the presentation now, because I’m up over 35 slides, so even at 15 seconds per slide, that comes out to nearly 10 minutes. I still have some flowcharts and game design renderings to finish up to round out the coverage.
