dragonimpAbout time the Do-Sew got here. We only ordered it, like, four weeks ago. Sadly the glass-head pins we also ordered are out of stock. More sadly, my wrists are bothering me too much to really think about sewing. Sigh.
Oh yeah, I just learned that the meds I've been taking for the last four years have about a 4% chance of having joint and/or muscle pain as a side effect. Wonderful.
Things are slowly moving forward on aps. Meaning, I've printed out the forms I need and am starting to request sealed transcripts. Unfortunately I need to call the local JC, because I need them to send the transcripts to me, not directly to the college. I also don't know if I've requested transcripts from them before.
The "Technology Literacy Form" is rather... I dunno. Annoying? Irritating? Stupid? "I meet the technology literacy requirements with the following work-related or personal experience (please list the skills learned/used)"
This is what they want:
Uhm... I play with the computer and internet? I e-mail people? I'm not a moron?
((OT: LJ's spell check chokes up on the "ve" in I've, but not on "Uhm." Sure.))
