~my latest complaint w/ my esteemed PhD~

are you kidding me?

first, i complete the ADDITIONAL requirements ( at the last minute announcement, mind you), then I send a note explaining my views,concerns & opines regarding this new hoop, & then to add the icing to this mud cake of a process Capella seems to have created..... I go back into the additional courseroom to check if I have any further information to read? & THAT POSTING HAS MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED!?!

yeah...why not....its only my financial aide money...its only what I depend on to buy groceries, pay my light bill, put gas in my car so I can continue this uber frustrating process I started almost 5 yrs ago.

but wait!~ theres more.....

I decide to call Capella Support to calm my fears regarding this whole process....& what does the robot phone system lady tell me (which btw? to my surprise is working today...) "sorry, call back later....all learner support is on a team building event!?!?!?

R u kidding me?...no one there to answer the phones?

well..I shouldnt be surprised, there were no emails telling me this term I was enrolled...I had to call to find out. There was NO call back to even acknowledge my mssg or internal email communication yesterday....& today...NO ONE to talk to....

thanx.....I feel SOOOO valued as a Capella learner.

& yes ...I know this note is rather caustic......so be it. They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease....lets see if the old adage is true....

your "was really happy to refer people to capella learner.....now...not so enthusiastic about this whole thing...." PhD learner....

took ALL pups to the park tonite....
for two hours...
Bella....ran around, made friends, bossed everyone else around, gave her battle cry when she felt it necessary....generally stuck her nose in everyone elses business...

Zoe....jumped into anyones lap that paid attn to her.....jumped back down...& repeated about 20 times....

& my psycho korkor?......
SO PROUD...
she watched for the first hour from my lap...
then for the next 1/2 from the ground sitting safely between my feet....
then when things calmed down a bit...& there were less puppers running around....
i let her off the leash....& she actually allowed others to pet her....other dogs sniffed her....& she ran around the little pups park =)

all in all?....it was a good nite at the park.....& now they are all zonked out....yay!~

~HA!~....have to have money to spend it ...so i guess i am safe?~

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 - Dec 21)

Spending money when the Full Moon is in your 2nd House of Resources may not be the smartest thing to do because you are likely to be more emotionally attached to something that you want. Purchases now will probably be based more upon a whim than on need. You can avoid buyer's remorse by waiting a day or two before completing the deal.

ok...
so...i was out getting groceries in the heat of the day yesterday...
& saw this little guy dash across the busy road....
& then dash back.....
as i was quickly buzzin by...
i noticed he was having a hard time getting back up on the curb & sidewalk....
& it broke my heart......all i could think of was his little feet getting burned....& the fear he mustve been experiencing....

so .....i turned around ......park my car down the way a bit...& walked back searching for him....
knowing that i might walk up on a squished critter.......
1/2 of me was say "u really dont want to see that...u're gonna look silly crying by the side of the road".....
& the other half was saying "but if you can save him....well....that's just the right thing to do ....
((thinking of right mindedness ...laws of buddhism))

so.....i found him.....scared out of his little mind.....picked him up & put him in the tree so the birds flying around wouldnt scavenge him if he was going to recover.....

took his little picture & went home.....
i'm sure he died......from the trauma & possibly the fright.....
but at least it wasnt as he burned & watched in terror as a tire came to roll over him......

=(
