For the past 8 years or so I have been making small, desk sized calendars for friends and family. Unable to find a calendar template, I create my own every year. I ought to employ an editor because there is always at least one error. This year there were two March 22nds. That would be wonderful if your birthday were March 22. And this led me to think that perhaps I should make a whole month with my birthdate on it. But that might just be too confusing for all the Tinas out there. But, the one friend that noticed it today asked if this was an intelligence test. It did get me to thinking, and wondering why 25 people had not notified me. Maybe next year I'll give a prize to the first person to find the mistake. The prize could be a whole boxful of outdated calendars, and a set of stickers to mark important dates.

Online Classes and Tina

The mad scientist signed up for some sort of web instruction this morning and forgot he had done so. We arrived home to find the message light blinking madly on the phone, and a semi intelligible message, which he immediately deciphered. He recognized the error of his ways, and dialed in. It was apparent that he was in the slow group. There was a member named "Tina" who couldn't even log in right. I knew it was going to be a long session. I told him he should ask to be promoted to the AP group. Tina couldn't hear, Tina didn't know much of anything. You wondered if Tina was at the library using a borrowed computer because it seemed like she had never been on one before. And poor Raoul, the facilitator, was having some trouble communicating. Fun times. When we left, in despair, for lunch, Tina was still having problems, and so was Raoul. Mad Scientist thought he could figure it out on his own.
