Sittin' here watching the morning program and Adam Gerhke is showing all the accidents on the roads, and it makes me wonder, how is it that all these pollution machine drivers forget, from one rain incident to another, that the physics of driving change on wet roads? How long does one have to live here in Seattle, where it rains A LOT, before one remembers that, a) just because one is driving an SUV that the laws of physics still apply to them? b) that they will not have instant traction, for starting or stopping, like they do on dry roads? How long!?
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?...
