Ooh. Seattle? E-mail me a phone #. We'll get together.

Will do! I've never actually met anyone else from r.p.c.a.

Dan M had some very interesting things to say about
VERY LONG RANT - not cat related - sorry:

DH and I have decided our best bet to get our lives underway again is
to move. This is going to be SO much fun. 360 mile trip with a cat who
*hates* car travel.

I can truly sympathize! We're looking into doing the same thing. I've
got leads on jobs in San Francisco and Seattle.


I don't remember where you live, but you probably have me beat for
length of move. You definitely win on pet complications [I only have
the two, you have at least four that I think I remember. I'm foggy
from Vicodin, so please forgive memory lapses].

I don't know if this will help you, JoJo, but I really do admire anyone

who
studies while working full-time. It really is extremely stressful, time

and
energy consuming and you need lots of will power to do it.


This is all true, and why I quit working on my PhD degree. I just couldn't
hack it with a full-time job and doing the research.

So my overall question(s)
1. Why in the hell am I doing this?????
2. What exactly is the degree in? I'm beginning to think insanity,
although they tell me it's bachelors in business management
3. From insanity, exactly how far away is one from blithering idiot?
(at least I'll be a blithering idiot with a degree and house full of

cats).


Hi the

I remember team projects as well and the unbelievable sub-standard slacker
work that other people would do, if any at all. I feel your pain.

The only think that I can say is that it will eventually be over and it will
stand you in good stead. I have a Bachelor of Music in Performance (french
horn) and became a Chartered Accountant (CPA in the US) after that. As far
as I could tell, business school, where I had to do two years of classes
before I could article, was an exercise in pure hoop jumping. The whole
point appeared to be simulating real life sucky imperfect work situations
through terrible group work and lousy projects. Very different from my
music degree, which was pure unadulturated hell from what a bunch of crazed
musicians in the twilights of their careers can inflict on impressionable
young musicians, but at least academic and interesting. It was so hard to
go back to University after taking five years to get through my first degree
but I had to do it for work. Hang in there!!!!!!!
