I apologize for not posting a lot lately. I have been very busy taking care of my family and continuing my education. One of the three graduate classes that I am enrolled in right now required a video presentation. I thought it would be appropriate to share a small clip, especially since many of you do not seem to know who I am.
I know this because I can research who links to my posts and many of you have great things to say, but a common theme is that you don’t know my name. It’s in the footer of every page and in the RSS feed, but since it’s not prominently displayed, I’m normally referred to at “Prudent Musings.” Here is my attempt to be a bit more human. In this clip my daughter’s friend distracts me a bit in the middle of a presentation, then my daughter interrupts and asks for a cookie. I hope that you enjoy. I did.
I have added a few video effects since I never asked my audience if they’d like to be up on the Web.
This post is a bit off-topic from my normal posts, but since I’m currently looking at some Ph.D. programs that require the GRE, I’m interested in knowing if anyone has any recommendations for study materials.
Thanks!
Something happened today that made me really question my patience. I went to the store across the street from where I work to pick up a sandwich for lunch and made my way to the 10 items or less line. In front of me in line stood someone with a cart full of items. She surely had over ten, perhaps even over twenty. As usually occurs in situations like this, the clerk said nothing.
Because I had nothing else to do while I was waiting in line behind her except to notice how heavy the items in my arms were becoming while regretting not using a cart myself, I began to count the items as they were handed to the clerk. At nine items I looked down at the cart and knew that this woman had violated “10 items or less” etiquette. But then I was surprised. She stopped and said that she had more than one order and wanted multiple transactions. As I stood behind her and counted the number of items in each transaction the ten item limit was never reached. I felt that she had cheated the system and gotten away with something.
Was it right for me to feel this way?
