The Daily Kanga

I hate my records management class!



It's the only class I have on Friday.

I'm done in like 25 mins.

Got the result of my Exam 2 for Management: 90 which is a B+. So, I'm chuffed with that.

Now, just have to continue to work on all these projects that are do.

Denmark... here I come!

Oh, btw, that 'dominator' butch chick who has been bullying me in Marketing, well I did something rather cheeky.

I printed this out and gave it her:

 Assertiveness.doc

Her response was: 'What is this for?'

'Oh, it's a self examination to judge on your Assertiveness.'

She gave me this blank look as her jaw slowly dropped and replied, 'You just called me out.'

'Oh? Well, I can assure you that was not my intention, I just thought you would like to be more 'aware' of your behaviour towards others.'

During the rest of the class, she didn't bully me and I actually got to participate  in the team!

     The managment exam was quite easy, compared to what I was thinking about it before. Only 40 questions, no T/F and took me 18.9 mins. Which is why I am here in the lab, and not still in class.  The amount of studying I did, should come in to prove more useful than if I had overstudied. So, hopefully this is good.

My first class, marketing, was not so 'easy', well 'vibe'-wise at least.

We are split into groups, because we are doing this 'Mystery Shopper Project'. It is me and four other females. One female is the 'dominator' of the group. Two of my team members were not present today, so, it was just three of us. It was the last 20 mins of class. We had to come up with a list of questions, pertaining to non-verbal communications.
My gods. She was like 'demanding' that I speak.

'You need to speak up, or I'll do all of this on my own'
'Pardon?'
'I like the way this flyer is set up, and I will be doing it.'
'Erm, I do not think you are in a postion to say what you will or will not do, seeing as we are missing two people.'
'That is their problem.'
'Well, ok, how about asking about the sales history of a product, I know that ususally helps me when I am stuck between two models.'
'They aren't really supposed to do that, and besides, how do you know what they say is right?'

Well, needless to say my Empathy was like *sCrEaMinG*. So, I told my other team member, the one that was sitting there scared shitless, as the 'dominator' went to ask the professor something, 'Davina, have a good week-end, I'm leaving before she scolds me or something.' She laughed. I walked out.

I went to the cafe and saw her approach me, boy, did she give me like a very *mean*look. She's in the conscrution business, short hair.. very dyke-like. She has a daughter, so I think she is just an extreme feminisit, but then again.... I do not think I actually care enough to find out. Either way, if it came down to it, I could kick her ass.

So, here I sit. Waiting. Waiting for that fucking crappy keyboarding class. Gods. I hate it. It is the worst class that I could have possibly ever taken. Like, I would have enjoyed taking maths. But. No. I had to take Speed and skillbuilding. Whoodefuckingdo. Well, I will say that my accuracy has improved, so my nwpm is 101 (including accuracy 98%).

I need a fag, but if I leave to go get some at the gas station, I'll lost my parking space. But, if I do not go to keyboarding at all, then.. I will not have to come back.
WHHHHHHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I do not want to go to that class... for the love of all that is ......  crap.

I have already missed two days in that class. The max is 11. There is six weeks or thereabouts of this semester left.
Gods. I so want to skip it. Can I skip it? It starts in ten mins.
Oh.. wait... my tummy.. why it's starting to rumble.. oh.. a cramp.. I think.. *doubles over* I think my IBS is kicking in. Oh no.. I .. can't go to class like this.. I feel sick...

Shit. I'll fucking go, but I'll fucking leave early. There a compromise.

            In the light of recent scandals within major organizations such as, Enron and Worldcom, many organizations are compiling and implementing ethics into the workplace. In my opinion this method of ‘forcing’ ethics is something that I do not feel is effective in improving ethics within the organization. Ethics are instilled into us at a young age. We learn them within a family structure. Our mothers and fathers teach us right from wrong. If one does not already have the basic foundations of these ethics then, how can an employer, a mega-organization begin to inflict their ethics upon their employees?

            As with all things, regarding ethics, morals and social issues there are many different levels, different degrees, all involve emotions. As it was clearly seen during the Enron scandal, greed and deceit was a big factor that inspired the chain of events that lead to such an ethical outrage. Greed is something that is in all of us. This is more concentrated in major corporations that deal with energy sources. Energy sources are always in demand, oil, gas, water, electricity, no stop demand, which makes the corporations in charge of them easily open to the temptation of greed in supplying that demand. So, if the corporations are unable to control their greed, which subdues their ethical virtues, then how can employing chief ethics officers and ethics training actually help?

            A corporation can write a formal code of ethics, they can supply the training, they can appoint a chief ethics officer, but what is the point if the employees are not open to such ideas, to such ethics of another entity? If an organization wants to be ethical and social acceptable in their ethics, then the structure in which they should implement is family. People want to be welcomed into a family setting. A workplace is a setting in which family can be introduced. You see these people every day, you spend hours with them. You get to know them. You get to understand their different views and thoughts on matters in and outside of the workplace. This makes for a great foundation to set up a family structure organization in which different ethics, not just one person’s view of ethics, but a combination of everyone’s ethics.

            To instill ethics into the workplace, one must know their co-workers, build up that family connection, that way, ethics of loyalty, honesty, fairness will be clearly seen in their business practice. We all want to make our families proud, so we have family ethics in which to build upon. And in an organization, these family ethics can quickly be used to accept the organizational ethics of business, which in turn, will make our boss and co-workers proud to be within that organization.

Bah.

I had to park a half mile from class, due to the parking lots at school being utterly full. And it was cold...and I forgot my scarf.   Made it to class on time, despite it being a 40 min drive for me.

Nothing really exciting for my first class which is Marketing 2420. The professor who teaches it, also wrote the textbook for the course, I'm sure that means something... but not really sure what it does mean.

My second class, Management 2000 was in a tiny room, but very very full! We had to introduce ourselves and say what our favourite movie would be to have whilst being deserted on an island. I said Gone with the Wind and explained why, which lead to me saying how I lived in England for the past six years. That brought some excitement. Also brought comments of, 'Thought you had a bit of an English twang.' 

 My last class, Office Systems Technology 1105 was in the same room as my Medical Terminology course last semester. I sat in the same seat.We took a timed typing test. My score was 81wpm with 3 errors. The goal of the entire course is to be able to type 45wpm with less than 7 errors. Which do you think will be my 'fluff' class?

I feel so utterly tired. I do not like waking up early, driving all that way. But, I'm sure I'll get used to it again soon enough. 

*yawn*

Either more caffeine or sleep; I'm sitting here with my eyes shut. 

1. You do an In Class Practice and forget to hand it to the instructor at the end of class. You forget mainly because you and she are chatting for 30 mins about Yorkshire pudding and how online courses suck.

    

2. When you get home, you see the In Class Practice in your notebook and realise that it is where it’s not supposed to be. You spend 35 mins on your nutscrape dial-up connection to send the instructor the In Class Practice via email.

    

3. After you send the first email with the attachment, you send another email rambling on how you actually did do the in class assignment actually in class, and mention the classmate that sat beside you as a witness, during which you make a confession that you had to ask said classmate for help, because you weren’t paying attention in class because you were meeboing with your husband.

    

4. In another class, you ask the instructor, in front of everyone, how many questions will be on Thursday’s exam, only to find out that there is no exam; that it is actually *next* Thursday. So, all those hours you spent at work studying for an exam this week, isn’t until next week. When you are corrected by the other classmates, you feel your face turn red and then say, ‘So, Chapter 10 exam is next Thursday?’
   ‘Hope, Chapter 10 and 17 are being combined and the exam for them will be next Thursday.’
   ‘Are you kidding me? Chapter 10 and 17 are combined?’
   ‘Yes and the exam is next Thursday, not this Thursday. Where have you been?’
   ‘Studying… But it appears that maybe I should have been studying the syllabus instead.’

    

5. All the traveling back and forth to classes has knackered your car. The closer it is till the Final, the more parts you have to replace on your worn out piece of shit.

    

6. Realising that soon, you won’t have access to broadband.

    

7. Realising that soon, you won’t be able to use up the ink in someone else’s printer.

    

8. You start to miss getting your sugar fix of doo-do cookies from the school’s cafeteria each morning.

    

9. You sit at the computer trying to sum up 9 and 10 of this list with witty remarks, only to find that you are at a lost for words.

    

10. .....Nope... the words are still lost. I prolly turned them in somewhere and someone else has them now.

This is the mesentery of the small intestine:

The mesentery of the small intestines is a folded double layer of peritoneum that connects a part of the small intestine to the posterior wall of the abdomen, it streches around the organs which holds them in place.

Sorta like an apron.

Yummy!

ick :/

I got the results back from chapter 2 (I did not like that chapter at all) I got a 22 right out of 25. So, I only missed three:) The quiz I took eariler today, I feel really good about, so I prolly only missed one to two. I can't even remember how many questions were on there now.

Just finished taking a Word quiz and out of 20, I only missed two.

My eyes are itchy so I'll be going home now.
