Familiarizing myself with the website.

This post, or blog, or whatever the hipsters are calling it these days, is not part of the assignment. I just wanted to make sure I could use this program before the assignment is due. I am already finding the navigation not to what I am used to...but this site looks easy enough to eventually know what I am doing.

I see that we can post whatever we want to on here...along with our assignments. I suppose I will clearly mark my title when it has to do with the assignment, so no one has to peruse through the rest of the stuff.

I am realizing today more than ever that I need to make a career change. It just so happens that I am doing it at the worse economic time of my work history. I work in the quality department (which due to layoffs consists of...me) for a business that has a management team that does not believe procedures, training, and structure are needed. Technically, they are not really sold on quality either...because I get pushback for finding too much incorrect information and "have to allow for acceptable room for error." Note: Never respond to that comment with "whatever errors I miss are what we can consider acceptable".

I am unsure if, for this course, we are just supposed to skip to the exercises he wants, or if we are to read all of the pages up to where the task starts. I think I am going to read from the beginning. I am not fully aware how he wants the first assignment to be done. I think I will read a bit tonight, and if I am still cloudy I will post on the help board. I believe I just need to take a step back, listen to some Rachmaninoff, and let my head clear. If that doesn't work...I am popping in some old Atreyu (before they found melody).
