a short weekend

well i survived yet another FHSU Oktoberfest. My birthday bash was awesome and for once i was the KartMaster thats right i ended up with more 1st places than the OKM (original KartMaster) hehe. also we played some ping pong. the the movie we watched Star Wars Episode III. Thanks everyone who showed up it was a blast.

the only drawback to friday night was the fact that it was Oktoberfest. Every year this college and town think they have to put this event on its just and excuse for thousands of ppl to get drunk and stay drunk all weekend. ok picture this a park roughly the size for a small football field fill to atleast 10,000 ppl standing shoulder to shoulder and getting drunk …sound like fun huh? not really especially when you are deathly allergic to beer. i try to avoid that part of town as much as i can.

saturday i had to go into work at noon. matt came with me it went rather slow all afternoon then comes time for k-sate game to get broadcasting and our part-timer in charge of that is no where to be found. so i call up my boss and ask where i can find all the cellphone numbers i call our part-timer up and i get their voice mail finally after about 10 mins after the k-state broadcast starts i get a call say they were going to be late. ok the problem is with this is our workers dont like to show up at all so im always getting stuck with extra shifts becasue no one shows up for their shifts. then at 6 pm the one who is suppose to take over for me doesnt show up until 6:45 give or take i mean how hard is it to show up to work?

then sunday was a quiet day just kinda relaxed did have to do anything at work but monitor the stations and update the weather.

welp there ya go my eventful weekend.

a crappy start of a week

well this wek has started out really crappy. First i have seemed to get a sinus cold …I HATE SINUS COLDS! then i show up to class on tuesday only to find out I have a test no one not even the teacher mentioned this or I dont recall ever being told of a test. and then today i sleep through my alarm and end up being 20 mins late to work what else can go wrong? …well if a incompetent coworker of mine desideds to not cover the shift he said he would cover for me on friday my birthday I will be really upset.

EDIT: well it just got worse now i get to cover royals tonight because no one else can.

desktop customizing

many know i love cutomizing my desktop on my computer. (what can i say im a computer nerd) well i stumbled across a program that allows one to change their logon screen. now changing the logon screen is not a new thing this tool has simplified the task so that any one can do it now. it makes it that easy.

the program is called stardock logonstudio and its a free program

here is what you can do with it this is my logon screen on my laptop now

next is another program that i purchased awhile back call windowblinds this program allows you to skin you windows theme giving you a different look. normally im all about free software but this program was well worth the $20 i spent on it =)

here is what my desktop looks like on my laptop. as you can tell my task bar is different you can design just about anything or download thousand of skins taht are available.

ppl always ask how i get my computers to look like i do well here ya go this is what i use.

a peek into whats taking up my time

#include

int main (void)
{
char desiredgrade;

double min_average;
double currentaverage;
double weight;
double score;

printf("Please enter your desired grade: \n");
scanf("%c", &desiredgrade);

printf("Please enter your minimum average required: \n");
scanf("%lf", &min_average);

printf("Please enter your current average in course: \n");
scanf("%lf", &currentaverage);

printf("Please enter how much the final counts as a percentage of the course grade: \n");
scanf("%lf", &weight);

score=(min_average-((100-weight)*(currentaverage/100)))*(100/weight);
printf("You need a score of %.2f on the final to get %c\n",score, desiredgrade);

return 0;
}

well if that doesnt make any sense thats ok this is the stuff im doing for class this simple grade calculator only took my 5 hours to complete =P and this is for class im taking i really dont need, but im having fun!

another poem

i found this one in my poem archive i was going through my computer and cleaning some old files came across this one

I sit here quietly and watch the sun set
Thinking of someone that I’ve never met
I wonder does she think of me too
Needless to say I am thinking of you

Wanting to hold you, to see your face
To take you away to a better place
You feel so right, too good to be true
I just can’t stop thinking of you

My friends say that I might regret
Losing my heart to a girl I’ve not met
I say there is nothing I can do
I cannot help thinking of you

I believe you were made special for me
But wonder if that could possibly be
I’m tired of being so alone and blue
But I always smile when thinking of you
