An Unhappy Alumnus

So I went to Utah Valley State College (UVSC), which is now, Utah Valley University (UVU).

Therefore I am an alumnus of the college/university. And what do colleges and universities want from their alumni, donations, money, cold, hard cash.

At this point, if I had any potential money to give them, I would not and here is why...

An employee of the university is being poorly treated by his/her superiors. This is affecting his/her work, home life, personal well-being, etc. The largest issue I see is that said superior is not qualified for the position he/she fills and he/she was put into the position "illegally" --that is the position was not advertised in accordance with hiring guidelines for the college/university.

So if you understood any of that because I do not wish to use names or relationships, etc to identify individuals, I commend you. Let's just suffice it to say that some people need some extra prayers and such.

Until next time...

Code Name--Mediots

So tonight on the news, they related a story about the Secret Service Code Names for the President Elect and his family as well as the Vice-President elect and his wife. James is watching this snippet and asking, "what the hell?" Why would they announce this? So as part of the report, the anchor says that code names are no longer kept secret and are a part of public record because of the difficulty to break through and eavesdrop on encrypted transmissions, etc. But he thinks that maybe they reported the names, but are really using other ones?

If you go to this link from the Washington Post, you can read more about it... Or see this link for an NBC version out of Alabama.

Anyway you look at it, Renegade, Renaissance, Radiance, Rosebud, Celtic, and Capri are taken nicknames for the next four to eight years, oh did I say nicknames, I meant code names...

Until next time....

Oh yeah...the title for this entry, take media + idiots=mediots

An Event to be Remembered

So we have had a major moment in history...

The United States of America has elected it's FIRST president with African-American heritage. Barack Obama was elected as the 44th POTUS and while I did not vote for him, I did not vote John McCain either (I did vote, I wrote my vote in...).

It should be an interesting ride... At least his little girls are cute.

I shall try to be more diligent in writing... I have oodles to look at my computer.

Until next time...
