Hey Treil!
That's funny about your dream I had a dream last night I was in the McD drive-through, and I kept telling the woman to give me egg whites, but she was pulling this bacon out of the grease bucket..trying to force it on me. Weird.

I just checked out the new pics......lookin' great girl! Really leaning out nice....I mean major progress is visible! I'm very excited for you.

THANK YOU
Your dream sounds like something I would dream about!!! Accept I would probably be asking for a plain chicken sandwich and they would probably keep smearing mayo all over it!!

Yeah I was drinking milk, eating bread, Ahhh it was horrible!!!!!
I was sweating, stomach cramping.... Bleh
I feel brain dead right now. I'm sick of this cert course.... I failed it by one, so I get to go take it over again. Pretty much you keep taking it till you pass... You can take it twice in one day. So hopefully I just pass and get it over with. They say it's because I know the material to well, that I need to dumb myself down and take it like someone who knows nothing.... Go figure it's a government related cert

Those recertification type classes are awful. I always end up overanalyzing the questions and end up getting the wrong answer. Best to think like a dumby when taking those thing. Missing by 1 sucks. For one of mine you need 90% correct and I always get 87% my first time. Somebody out there just wants to piss me off I think.

Yeah!!!! So what do you do dealing with the govt?
I always overanalyze these stupid things... If I just went in and just took it I would probably pass. That's what I'll do this afternoon!

Re: Treils 2006 Competition Log

Nothing with the government, just a bunch of classes for our company. Internet marketing and ad placement type things. Still not using what I got my M.A. for. (Human Resources) 4.0 GPA and there were no entry level jobs available after graduation so I took something outside of my field. Real estate continuing ed classes I had to take last week and they require an exam at the end of each course to pass. Easy but time consuming.

What's your like?

Pretty funny! I have my B.A. in Business and I have a job as a System's Engineer based off of my ex-military experience. Now I work as a contractor on government contracts. Why did you choose Human resources? I mean 4.0... I would assume something maybe more technical to challenge your brain cells?!? MAybe, No ?

Re: Treils 2006 Competition Log

That sounds awesome. I imagine you like what you do?

For me I actually got my B.A in psychology. When I went to grad school I started off in Clinical Psychology but my advisor was telling me no one nowadays wants a psychologist, just a psychiatrist who can give them prescription meds. I changed over to Industrial Organizational Psychology/HR and got my M.A. in that. 99% of the jobs wanted some previous experience and I chose to do a thesis instead of an internship. Big mistake. Thinking of going back to get another M.A. in school psychology. Just a few classes. Summers off, winter, spring break and pretty good pay. Starting the real estate thing next week. We'll see if that takes off.

Unless I can work as a personal trainer to celebs and make $1000 and hour. That would be nice.

You and me both about the trainer thing!!
No I don't care for my full-time job.... That's why my focus is on weight training, and massage therapy... That's what I enjoy so I look at my job as just my income and then my life outside of work is my main focal point! Anyway back to take this cert again

Re: Treils 2006 Competition Log

GOOOOOD LUCK on your cert You can do it this time around I'm sure!!

Re: Treils 2006 Competition Log

Haha. I've been looking at trainer certifications for forever. I guess if you can get some good referrals from wealthy clients or train in some corporate offices it might be a good deal. Doing what you like seems to be more rewarding in the end.

Good luck with the class!!!
