June Over...Already?

Yes, it's hard to believe. The month has flown by. I've somehow managed to keep myself occupied, or at least feeling busy, even though I know I really haven't been that busy.

Went to a tuition hearing yesterday in Fergus Falls. Saw some MSUSA colleagues and heard some good testimony. The short of it is that school is getting expensive.

The dining service RFP is coming along, and I will welcome the break from reading drafts weekly. Soon we'll be waiting to see what bids come in. A break from weekly RFP reading means I should have time to review the 77 pages worth of MSUSA policy and procedure to be reviewed in July. Sounds fun, eh?

Tonight was the last night at the Calling Center. Part of me will miss it each week. Some days it got old repeating the same survey or pitch all night, but overall it was a decent job to have and good experience. In addition, my coworkers were great and I think we all had fun.

Is He Crazy?

I tend to agree with Froyd's post...Tom Cruise has gone off the deep end. He needs to be taking the pills that he and his Church of Scientology so despise. I mean, whigging out on Oprah and attacking Lauer on Today...the guy needs to chill.

I too, know people on these psychiatric drugs that Cruise belives are so bunk, and they work. Shut up, Tom.

Not Much New

What have I been up to? Not much exciting. Worked a bunch of hours in the lab last week. Still working the Calling Center...raising money is tougher than surveys. Been doing a lot of reading of RFP stuff and Res Life studies...not most people's idea of fun, but I don't mind it.

Life in Maple is still quiet. They finally fixed our mail mixups, which is good. Maintenance work is being done around us, and summer is finally here, which means the heat is on, but I'm surviving. It's the stuffiness more than the heat.

And that's all for now.

"Super Size Me"

I finally got around to renting this documentary, and watched it this afternoon as I sat in the empty computer lab. I had decided I better see it earlier this year after reading a post about it on Amy's blog, and being good-naturedly teased by Julie for my diet peppered with food court cheeseburgers and fast food eaten during conference weekends. "Berne, you need to watch "Super Size Me," she regularly quipped.

I can not imagine eating McDonald's three times a day for a month. The idea is just gross...I mean, sure I like the occasional Quarter Pounder, but man after a month, this guy was a wreck. It was shocking to see how quickly that kind of diet can adversly impact a person. I won't stop eating fast food entirely (not that I do much anyway), but it did make me want to run out and stock my fridge with fruits and veggies.

Apparently, the director has a new show on FX, 30 Days. Might be worth the watch...an interesting look at different aspects of society.

Spring Cleaning, Blog Style

I've updated my "Blogs I Read" list...any that have gone dormant or moved have been pulled from the list.

If those who were taken off want to be back on, all they must do is start blogging again.

Blogs on announced "hiatus" stay put for now.

Quiet Summer Days

It appears it has been quite some time since I have updated. Perhaps the compulsion to blog is not as strong at the moment. Summer life is quieter and less eventful. And quiet it is in a building with only 2 others...it's very strange to sit with an open door and hear absolutely nothing in the hallways.

More frequent updating is on the horizon...
