Could go either way. If they are very unhappy, they may not want to bring you back to the office to cause a scene.

Or, if they are very happy and give you a raise and/or promotion, they may not want that to take place at the office either, as that could cause some stir.

If they were going to fire you, it probably would be only your boss, and it would probably be at Starbucks or Mickey-D's ...

I could be getting it three times a day 7 days a week and I'd still be up for a little "Shannon Time"

Calamine lotion actually do work It doesn't look pretty, but neither does that rash
I've been taking hot hour-long bleach baths at night, using calamine lotion, and something called Ivy Dry. There are HUNDREDS of little zit like bumps around my ankles and everywhere else that I've scratched in my sleep after scratching my other areas.

I was taken to a greasy spoon to get fired once.

Started working at a company as a summer student, 3 weeks later they took me for coffee and said "You're being laid off today, work the rest of your shift, but dont tell anyone, more lay offs are coming tomorrow"

That was a fun day.

Not.

Once my new partition is finished being created, I get to install the Win7 Beta! Woo!

Then, I can back all my stuff up, install the Windows Vista Business license I got from my school, put all my stuff BACK on the laptop, and upgrade to the full version of 7 in the fall for free when it comes out!

I love technology!

I love getting access to free software through school

I got lucky and since I was enrolled in a class in the engineering department I got access to MSDN for a semester. It was sweeeeet.

I wish I got the Office software through it. Office for students is discounted down to about ~70 bucks. Still too rich for my blood.

Aw I missed that over on this coast. But we'll still get 4:05:06 7/8/9.

There was some stuff that MSDN didn't have but in general it was good. Most of the OS stuff was available (all except XP Tablet edition...when my fiance reformatted his tablet, he was forced to go to Vista [well I guess he could have shelled out the money but Vista has built in support] and then his laptop started acting up boooo). We also have a really nice selection of regular software avaialable for free at NCSU. I got ArcGIS software for free...and that usually costs a loooot. Going to try to get AutoCAD too and teach myself it. Its nice when stuff is free

No doubt, I wish I knew how to use any of that stuff. Especially photoshop, I would love to be able to do even 10% of what you can do with it...I'll just stick with elements
