CrazyCholeBlack Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 ^ that's a novel in itself! Off the top of my head, when the department head at school #4 told me that no, despite my credits & clep scores, they were going to require me to take a hole extra year before giving me my degree (never mind where I was going to get the money for said extra time). I haven't been back to college since! < I am seriously considering enrolling in the college here, just so I can have better use of their materials & technology.

Hester Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 ^During a bus strike one summer when I was about 20, one of my girlfriends and I went to a dance. At the end of the night, we realized we'd spent our cab fare on beer, and we had to walk home at 1 a.m. through a deserted industrial part of town. As we were walking, a police car pulled up beside us and the driver asked "Are you girls alright?" But I thought he'd said, "Do you girls want a ride?" and I said "Thanks!" and hopped in the backseat. Since we were already in the car before the cop could finish explaining what he'd actually said, he and his partner just shrugged and said, "Okay, where do you live?". My parents were away on vacation, but my friend's mom was waiting up for her and so she had a lot explaining to do when her mom saw her come home in a cop car instead of a cab. < Craving doughnuts V Ever get stranded somewhere?

Ransom Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 ^ Went from working at a Title Company (Yuk), to working in my boss's garage making huge billboards for expensive subdivisions in the SF Bay area.
