Θα...θα....θα την πνίξω!

Αυτή είναι η τρίτη εβδομάδα. Έχουμε μια καινούργια που δουλεύει για το τμήμα (στην βιβλιοθήκη που δουλεύω τώρα) και είναι τελείως η κοπέλα. Τρεις λαλούν και δυό χορεύουν όπως λέει και η φίλη μου η Βαμπιρέλα. Λοιπόν άκου φάση:

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

19 more days of school!...or 4 more class sessions and 2 finals depending on how you see it, I prefer the latter to the former.So what's left?- A presentation in Finance about the Adidas acquisition of Reebok (in Keynote of course)- A final paper for Knowledge Management (regarding the Newton community -- need to finish it up, 1/4 done!)- A final exam for my Finance ClassThen a small break for one

Τελικά...δεν ξέρω...

Όταν ήμουν στο λύκειο, ήθελα να σπουδάσω πληροφορική. Τελικά το είπα και το έκανα! Τελείωσα με πτυχίο πληροφορικής και νόμιζα πώς θα έκανα τρελά λεφτά και ίσως να μπορούσα να έρθω Ελλάδα μόνιμα (ναι – τέτοιες σκέψεις είχα).

Things that make you sound stupid - Part 2 (use a MAC)

Well... I think that I have explained this many many many times in face-to-face situations, but I feel the need to educate all of you, online, on the correct use of the word MAC (and for that case Mac).I keep reading things like:"Go down to the MAC lab""Use a MAC, they are better""I use a MAC at home""MACs suck"Now - english 101 for you:MAC does not equal Mac (i.e. Macintosh computer, made by Apple)MAC

Props for Keynote!

I had my 3rd (ever) Keynote presentation last night for my Knowledge Management class.Most of my other team mates either don't care what presentation package I use (so long as things get done), or get really uncomfortable because I am not using powerpoint. (sidenote: all throughout my undergrad carreer and my grad carreer I used PPT). Not last night though...my team mate actually liked Keynote. The

Με ζηλεύει;!

Άλλο ένα που έμαθα με το τέτ-α-τέτ το περασμένο Σ/Κ.... Με ζηλεύει! Ναι! Ναι! Είναι αλήθεια! Το περασμένο Σ/Κ, όταν είχαμε το πρωινό μας τέτ-ά-τέτ, μου είπε πώς ένας από τους λόγους που δεν ήθελε πια να ακούει τα «παράπονά» μου
