I’ve always wanted to learn how to tie shoes like this…
…and now I can! This website shows you 33 different ways to lace shoes, and some of them are amazingly weird and/or creative. Yeah, not much of an update, but I thought it was quite interesting. :D
I have received an offer for full-time employment and will accept and start work on Tuesday, the 8th! As such, I may not have enough time to update this blog as much as I used to, but I will definitely try to do a tutorial or something once a week so that I never lose touch with my favorite suite. :)
Today, I signed up for the 14-day free trial of WebEx so that I can practice hosting a meeting on my own for my internship. I fumbled around with it but didn’t invite anyone to it as I was just practicing my presentation. I’ll definitely have to invite a friend to it to bare through my PowerPoint tomorrow, though.
Anyway, WebEx seems easy. My only qualm with it so far is that it said I didn’t have to pre-load files I was planning on sharing; I could just get them as I needed them, but I found this to be untrue because it took me a while to load my presentation, and it’s not an exceedingly large file by any means.
I am moving to Austin (and I am still convinced that Dallas hates me)! Now, I really need a car since I’ve looked at the bus stops and scheduling, and it would be extremely inconvenient and tiring to take the bus to and from work–think a mile across hilly land in Texas weather, twice! I am currently working something out so that I can borrow a car until I can get my own. In the meantime, I’ve sort of worked out a budget using a lot of educated guess work. Here are two things I’ve learned while helping me budget for a car:
Well, wish me luck in finding something soon! In the meantime, I’ll be cleaning, organizing, and packing. I’m excited about starting work next week. :)
My mom got me into Drop Dead Diva, a television series on Lifetime. Because I don’t have cable, I have to stream it from their website a day later. New shows air on Sundays.
I’m still in the middle of watching but paused to type a quick blog about this new word I learned from it. It’s particularly striking in the show because it’s intentionally repeated twice, and the main character even defined it for her blonde best friend. “Perspecacious [...] means insightful,” she says. Here’s what good ol’ Webster had to say about it:
I would just stick with Jane Bingham’s more understandable definition of insightful.
