There were a few students from my previous classes at the tech workshops on Saturday, and two others who I didn't know. The facilitator was this woman who is a bit flighty and disorganized, but I was able to get something out of the workshop anyway. One of the students who I didn't know seemed annoyed about this feature in databases called "Article Now." What you think that would mean is that you'd click it and the article would come up, but it doesn't work that way. You either have to click through a few other links or sometimes you are just given a message that the article is not available. Now you can see how this lack of functionality would be frustrating, but she seemed actually angry about it and kept mentioning it.She struck me as a Complainer. You know the type. I do spend a fair amount of time here on my blog complaining, but I don't consider myself a Complainer. A Complainer is the type of person who is always focusing on whatever is wrong around her or in her life. There is someone at work with whom I'm friendly, and I used to go out to lunch with her occasionally, but after a while, it occurred to me that our lunch dates were bringing me down because all she did was complain, even if I tried to change the subject. Since I was always the person to suggest our lunch dates, I simply stopped, and we haven't gone out in a long time. Now we just chat occasionally in the office, and that seems to work better because I can usually get her to laugh about something. She does appreciate my sense of humor.Labels: friends, school posted by Miss Rachel 6/26/2007 07:16:00 PM . . .
