Things I Learned in MGT 200

Please do not continue if you are easily offended… Things I learned in Management today.. How to win in any Microsoft game (such as Solitaire, freecell etc) without even trying, open an envelope with a cheque inside, make counterfeit money and the rest are just not as interesting. Right so the only thing I’ve tried is the Microsoft one.. Just search for ‘Windows XP tricks’ there should be some interesting ones there. Nothing illegal of course. As for the counterfeit one, I dont know how my prof knows it but he was telling us a way to make counterfeit money. I would never try it since I dont know where to even get the materials. The cheque one is just bizarre. I barely understood the instructions. So yes very interesting class.. :grin:

Now off to the depressing part, I have a statistics midterm tomorrow and I am so scared. I’ve never been any good in statistics unfortunately. Probability is probably my main weakness.. :embarass: I really hope I know what I’m doing tomorrow.. Then next week is reading week. For American readers, that is Spring Break. It’s not even close to Spring in here since it snowed last night then freezing rain stopped by to make the road all slippery and mucky. :irked: Next week, I’m also removing the last wisdom tooth in my mouth. Everytime I go to the dentist, she’s always harassing me about when I plan on removing it and what not so finally I made an appointment for reading week. Why not? I hope I get better on time before I start school and work. :smile:

Calculators are slowly becoming extinct

So I went to Futureshop today to look for a calculator that converts decimal to binary and vice versa. I need it for tomorrow since I have this test. I go around the store for 5-10 minutes looking for a section for calculators. Futureshop (aka Best Buy) has all these sections for digital cameras, PDA’s, mp3 players and computers but they have to section for calculators.. :slant: Finally I find a little section right next to gadgets for PDA’s where they have 2 kinds of calculators.. Thats it! Just 2 kinds of calculators!!! They have the graphing calculator and the general one (not even a scientific one)! :eek: It’s like calculators are slowly becoming extinct because of technology these days. I didnt end up buying one since I dont need a graphing calculator and a boring general one. I have that in my bag. I need one that will convert binary for me… :irked: I was not amused. Futureshop has everything else but not one scientific calculator.. It’s bogus..
