Yeah, I decided to major in computer science, but I had no idea I'd have to take "pre-requisite" courses before taking anything that had to do with computers.

So my Freshman year I took:
1) Psychology
2) Anthropology
3) World Geography
4) Chemistry
5) Some English writing class

Tuition: 13k

And UTSA wanted to raise tuition the next year. I didn't give a crap about any of the classes that I was taking at all.

Same. I went to a non-profit trade school for IT for two years, and managed to get a nice career out if it.

I probably should have done that. It took me quite a while to figure out that I had an interest in networking and to figure out how to go for Cisco certs. If I had started on that process when I was like 19 or something, my 20s would have been a lot easier.

... what you want to do for a career?

I got accepted to UTSA and Texas Southern University. I remember filling out some kind of career aptitude test with my mom standing over my shoulder watching.

"Would you like to provide first aid to someone who is injured?"
*Chooses no*
Mom: That's mean! Change that to yes! They'll think you're a mean person!
Me: Mom, this is a career aptitude test not a personality survey
Mom: Change it to yes NOW!
Me: *sigh*

AT&T is always such a pain to deal with. Holy crap.

1) (Sunday) Connection went down at 2:30am, came back up at 2:35am
3) I log into the network and see that we lost physical connectivity to AT&T's managed router for about 5 minutes. At this point, I'm thinking it probably rebooted for some reason.
2) Called AT&T at 2:45am.

AT&T: Since the service is up, they couldn't open a trouble ticket. "It's impossible to find out what went wrong. You must call your service manager instead."
Me: It's 2:45am on a Sunday though. The service manager isn't going to pick up. That's why they have a 24/7 support team. Also, you guys have a managed router on site that you can log into. I'm pretty sure that's where the problem is.
AT&T: No, since the service is back up, they cannot do any testing to find out what went wrong before.
Me: They can log into the router and see if it rebooted, though.
AT&T: No, you will need to go through your service manager.
Me: She isn't going to pick up, though.
AT&T: Yes she will. She's your service manager.

So I hung up just to entertain this thought. Service manager didn't pick up. I left a voicemail. Then I called AT&T back. They opened a ticket and then I got through to a tier 2 who can actually log into the router and check. He found that someone rebooted the router manually.

So now I have to chase THAT down to see why that happened, or at least get a formal RFO (reason for outage) from AT&T.

This is gonna be fun. Service manager still has not answered the phone as of yet.

isn't it crazy how black lives matter was a name chosen to remind americans that "black lives, too, indeed matter"

and yet they refuse to listen


because a very large number of individuals chose to deliberately ignore the context and spread the idea that BLM is intended to mean "black lives matter exclusively" instead of "black lives matter too"

which in turn raises the question: why did they not add the 'too' when the activists associated with BLM originally created it? didn't they see that coming?

That just means that he can veto any trade he's involved in, doesn't mean he can't be traded.


Yeah, but why do it as a trade when you can just go where you want? Unless some kind of multi-team trade ends up with him playing alongside Chris Paul, I guess.
