Stayed home today to get some stuff done. What a beautiful day in Seattle, huh? That sleet yesterday was a trip! I was dispatching in the morning when it happened and we had to pull folks off their bikes for about 30 minutes. Ah well, its good for a bike messenger to walk every once in a while, gives 'em perspective. Anyway, I'm kinda glad its at least colder. The sleet yesterday and the coldness lately make my prediction of snow in March much more believable.
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?...
