Get yelled at for something you did in someones dream?

So I'm lying in bed, its 3am. I'm in a light sleep and can hear the train off in the distance passing by. Its quiet, calm, even the animals are asleep when all of a sudden I'm startled by words, "WHAT, YOU DONT LIKE MY FUCKING COOKING!?!?!?!". In my confusion I simply replied, 'huh?'. Then she responds, "THEN WHY DID YOU SWITCH DISHES?". Again I go 'huh?". Then she, my wife, rolls over and everything goes quiet. I make mental note not to forget this and bring it up the next morning and we have a good laugh.

Anyone out there have to apologize to their wife for what they did in their dream?

My brothers girlfriend told me she also yells at him for things he does in her dreams, lol.

FEMALES!!!!!

Tenth prize, 1,000 Microsoft Points!

I was going through the mail yesterday when I came across what looked to be some kind of junk mail. I decided to go ahead and open it, usually something like this just gets tossed. To my suprise it was an award letter from Microsofts for the PGR4 Live Kudos Weekend from back in October '07.   I was announced as one of the tenth prize winners, winning free 1,000 Microsoft Points!!!

Wahoo!  

So I Immediatlely redemmed my points and pulled down Poker Smash.

Kansas 24, Virginia Tech 21

I live just six miles from Lawrence. Though I'm not a KU Allumn, I do feel pride for the local team. I didnt get much sleep last night after the game and when i did i was dreaming about it.  Since the KC Chumps let me down this year, it felt good to see one of my teams excel at something.

Now I probably will have to listen to the Mizzu fans here at work gripe about how VT handed KU the game, but I think KU played well. I think they were the reason for VT's troubles offensively and not just VT shooting themselves in the foot.

Now on to Big 12 baskettball.     KU currenlty 13-0.

Go Jayhawks!

Decisions, Decisions

Well, this morning I walk into the office and saw that I had a voice message waiting for me. Assuming it was from a customer I'm thinking this is a sign of how my FRIDAY is going to be, busy from the get-go. But to my surprise it’s a message from the Dean at Devry University asking to speak with me about a potential Adjunct Faculty position.

Wahoo!!!

Well, back in the spring I had applied and interviewed for an adjunct faculty position. As part of the interview process I had to teach/present a topic in a classroom setting in front of two deans and several professors. I was a bit nervous (whole other comical story). I had no teaching experiences, though I had done some presentations and tech talks to fellow co-workers. My only qualification was that I had a masters degree for which I earned from the same university, acquired my bachelors there as well and they like to see alumni come back and teach.

So anyway, my point is after that initial interview I was offered a course for which I accepted but then afterwards they had to give it to another professor for he/she needed it to fulfill their fulltime requirements. They said they would call me if they had an opportunity for any summer courses but I never heard back. So enough time has passed that I've kind of forgotten about this.

But now out of the blue it looks like I may have a decision to make. Kind of excited and nervous at the same time. We (Wife and I) will have to rehash everything to make sure this is something I am still able to do. Got to do it this weekend for I am to call the Dean back on Monday.
