Thanks, always2late, I'd love to think it gets easier! LOL

I never take for granted the time I had to devote to studies when I got my BA as that was my full time job.

I'm trying an online course as work is busy this time of year and I can't be sure I could get to a class. Unfortunately it seems that the online courses are condensed - only half a semester - so they move at a pretty quick pace. I'm glad I only took 1 course at a time.

This is my first foray in to IT with an Intro to Programming Logic course the first half of the semester, and if I don't drop it for lack of time, the second class is Intro to Web Design.

Wow, I stepped away for a while, and pow, the thread took off. rofl

I have been busier than a one-legged man at an ass kicking contest. I had two finals due, and was worried sick about them. Turns out, I was worried for nothing. I aced both of them. Silly me.

So, I am now into my next block. This time I have a business class and another essay class. Sheesh. Anyhow, I had a paper due today, about the differnent orgainzations of business. And, me being the goofball, and given it could be a fictional scenario, I wrote about Bob. Thought you all would get a kick out of it, so here it is:




Since we are allowed to use a fictional scenario and I am totally obsessed with my chihuahua Bob, I have decided to make him into my business leader of tomorrow.

Joint-stock company: Bob decided he was very interested in starting a company, but his stash of bones (capital) was pretty meager. So, one day at the dog park, Bob talked up his business plan, and offered shares of bone stocks. His presentation was so compelling, two standard poodles, a beagle mix, a Maltese and a well kept Georgia black dog all agreed to invest their bones, and traded their capital for Bob's shares. Bob, being the shrewd business dog, only sold 49 percent of the total companies' worth, so he would continue to be the primary share holder.

Limited liability company: Bob's company was doing well, but once again, being the shrewd business dog, he noticed fluctuations in the bone market. Therefore, to protect his assets, Bob transformed the company to a limited liability. And sure enough, the bone market took a nose-dive. Thank goodness Bob's personal cache of bones were protected by this law. That was a close one, but the poodles, the beagle mix, the Maltese and Georgia black dog all lost their invested bones.

Partnership: Having the crushing blow of having to file for bone-rupsy due to the failure of his company but still having dodged the bullet of totally being bone poor, Bob contacted his friend, Jackson. Jackson the schnauzer had an excess of bones, and being Bob's good friend, decided to take an amount equal to Bob's, and start another company. Both of them, working together, had wonderful luck. These two dogs, sharing the responsibility equally, revolutionized the bone market, bringing it into the 21st century.

Sole proprietorship: Some days, it is a dog's life. On a whim, Jackson played the bone lottery. Low and behold, he won. Taking his winnings, Jackson purchased a Tudor-styled dog house, hired a butler, and moved to the country. Jackson sold his half of the business to Bob, no longer needing to be bothered with the trivial day to day operation of the bone company. Bob, now is the sole owner of the largest bone empire in the world.

Legendryder, Congratulations on acing your exams!! (and congratulations to Bob for cornering the bone market...Oliver (my chihuahua) will be sending in Bob his resume)

Penelope..sending you "don't-worry-it-will-be-ok" vibes

I had my first psych class today....and it still floors me when I walk into a classroom and the professor is at least 10 years younger than me. LOL

Seems like a good prof, and I've spoken to people who have taken classes with him before and they say his is fair, but DANG doesn't he just LOVE the sound of his own voice!

[Legendryder]

I have a powerpoint presentation due on Sunday about the history of business. I was actually thinking about photoshopping Bob's head into pictures of Kings, peasents, merchants and such. Just a thought.

Hey RNguy!

My current degree is psychology - what are you thinking of doing with it??? I'm going to be a psychologist and ideally work with the LGBT community.

I went back to school at age 50ish! I LOVED it and learned so much more than I thought I ever would! Granted it did take me a bit longer to get the degree, but at my age where else was I going in a rush!
