Thanksgiving Holiday!

Thanksgiving Holiday is here! I'm excited to be able to take some time to relax for a couple days.  My plan is to spend time with family and play some catch up with some school assignments.  I caught a couple of snags this week with my San Jose house because it will be going through fumigation during the next couple days.  I wasn't able to study for a midterm in my web based computing class as much I thought I would because I needed to pack and prepare for the fumigation process.  As for my other classes, I had meetings with my groups to discuss our projects in our proposal for promoting affordable green technology products overseas and another project for job satisfaction at Applebee's Restaurant.

I already finished my Christmas shopping, but I'm not going to be able to wrap them up because I need everything from my car to my home in Modesto.  So my family got an early Christmas. It's fine because the things I got are important that we need in the house.

I'm still not sure where we are having Thanksgiving. But I'm sure it will be fun and entertaining. Have a great and safe Thanksgiving everyone. I'll get back to update about the events of this weekend.

New Exciting Things are Coming!

I've been notified that there will be a shipment of 240 boxes of new computers coming this Monday to work.  Although I don't work on Mondays to help out. I will certainly enjoy working on the computers when I come in on Tuesday.  On Tuesday, there will be also a company photo session for the new upcoming website we are going to create.

With all the new excitement and good changes, I decided to change the layout of my room. I also attached my computer speakers to my TV for a surround sound experience to help me utilize my equipment more and not just leaving them there to collect dust.

Tomorrow, my loved ones are coming over from Sacramento to visit me.  My plan is to show them King's Aquarium and take them to Bill's cafe for breakfast. After that we head to Valley Fair mall to do some shopping and downtown for dinner and site seeing.  Lastly, we head to watch Russell Peters at the HP Pavilion.

This is going to be a fun filled weekend.

So Far, So Good

Everything this week has been looking pretty good and going the way I planned it.  I got most of my midterms out of the way.  I have an hour long presentation tomorrow in my BUS119A class.  I will presenting our project tasks, Gantt, risk analysis and PERT. This is going to be fun. Campus and work will be close on Thursday due to Veteran's Day, which gives me time to catch up some labs I have been putting of for some time.  I'm not a very good program to say the least, but I will need to learn it for future references and it would help improve my website once I learn what can be done. I also have a analytical report due this Saturday.

Work today was very satisfying. I was able to setup the projector for a MCLE training for the attorneys.  I was able to participate in the training on how to use visual aid to help the jury understand what the issue is during trials or cases.  Everyday I'm learning new things, and the people I'm around are friendly and fun.

Besides from work, I was able to get all the classes I wanted for Winter and Spring.  So graduating in May 2011 is a high possibility. I can already feel the weight lifting off my shoulders. I'm one happy camper right now.

Winter and Spring 2011

The next 6 months my life will be hectic.  I am going to be taking my BUS189 course this summer which starts on Jan. 3 through the 21, Monday through Friday at 6:00pm to 9:00pm.  I am still going to be working Monday through Friday as well from 9:00am to 5:30pm. Luckily, the professor I have will not be too bad for he was voted the best 189 teacher on campus according to ratemyprofessors and colleagues of mine.

Taking a winter course will let me pull all my resources into a single class and I find that much easier.  This will be one less course I will need to take for my final spring semester with 4 courses left.

3rd Day at McManis

Although I came a little late for work. I was able to finish most of my task in terms of the priority of the due time. We had an issue with some of the software, but it got resolved by using a different software that we don't normally use. My thoughts were as long as it works, I can get it done with all the other computers we have at the company. So luckily for my multitasking skills I learned from my other IT jobs. I was able to finish my task before the due time. Even though I was assigned differnt task every time I go to work, I wasn't able to finish the checklist of what I needed to know. There's always something different to learn and do, which is why I enjoy working there.

I know it is to early to be thinking about I might end up getting let go because they said it's temp. I'm still doing the best I can and hoping I can show them I am capable of helping the IT Team disburse the work load. Wish me luck in the next couple months.

Peace
