Week six of Winter quarter is coming to a close. I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday about how we’d rather being working than in school. Even if the hours are longer in the workforce, you don’t have to sit through hours of boring classes titled “Needs Assessment” and “Human-Computer Interaction II – Interface Design” (apologies to Bryan and Rick). And, when you go home from work, you’re finished with it! You don’t need to think about doing assignments outside of work which will be due the next day, graded, and reflect on your performance as an employee. In that sense, perhaps it’s the homework that I don’t like. I think that apart from that, working full time gave weekly retribution in the form of a paycheck and that is much more satisfying than the promise of an eventual undergraduate degree in Information Technology.

Yeah, yeah, I know. It’s childish to think in terms of immediate rewards but sometimes the present is your only focus. Thinking too much about your future is futile.

Recently, I’ve discovered that no matter how much time, money, patience, hope, and support you lend, some things are just simply not in your realm of control.

Srhinehart.com, the would-be home of Steve Rhinehart’s portfolio, is not in the possession of Steve Rhinehart. Why? You ask? Well, I’ll tell you. Jason Eberle and I bought it before Steve did and then whipped up a graphical front-end that changes every time it is loaded. I did the back-end DNS and virtual host stuff so that I could just host it on the same server that Mahoneyt.net is on. Steve was anything but flattered and ended up buying StephenRhinehart.com before I could tell him it was just a joke and he can have the original domain. Therefore, I’m stuck with a domain I have no use for and Steve got the last laugh.
