So, aren't we all through with all the coverage of Reagan's Life and Times? I have searched through quite a lot of media coverage this weekend, looking for any mention of the irony that Reagan spent his last days as a mental patient in extreme comfort and on the taxpayer's bill, as opposed to all the mentally ill patients that were turned out on to the streets in the 1980's when he cut funding for the upkeep and maintenance of federally funded mental institutions.
I know...I know, its been far too long since my last post. But I'm here now and I'll catch you up on everything. So, since getting laid-off, I have been thinking about going back to school. The thing is, I've been thinking about going back for 10 years, but the thought of it always filled me with terror because I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do. Well, I decided to go to Seattle Central and get a certificate in computer networking. My thinking is this: get certified in something that leads to working smart instead of hard. Then, that job can take me back to school for something I really want to do. So anyway, there is a program through Unemployment Insurance called the Commissioner Approved Training Plan that allows one to go to school while still recieving one's unemployment benefits, without having to do the weekly job searches. The program doesn't pay for school, it just allows one to go to school and not have to work. Sounds like a great program, huh?...
