Nice work, Rug. But you sure are doing a lot of “crap”. Got tired of typing?
Business Comm. sounds like something to hate. What, exactly, does it cover?[/quote]
You learn how to write various types of business reports, proposals, and give differant types of individual and group presentations. I can understand this being a pre-req if I were a business major, but IT? It just seems like a way to make students take a class where writing papers is all you do.
As for ‘crap’…Logging the extraneous stuff I do seems like TMI. Generally it’s just things I do before leaving the gym.[/quote]
You will end up doing presentations to management at some point. This stuff helps, really.[/quote]
Looking at it objectively, the class seems to go smoother and smoother each session. I was semi-comfortable doing my first presentation…on me!!!..and as I keep finding information for my next papers and doing the work, I’m getting a little better. Still think it’s crap, though!!! Some people just have to work at being comfortable in front of peers.
I have to do an interview for my primary research for my paper and I was thinking of maybe one of you fellas in the Cisco field, if ya’ll don’t mind, that is. That is what I’m doing my paper on. Since I’m going into the field, I have to do a ‘projection’ on where the field is going and the opprotunities that will be available in the next 5-10 yrs.[/quote]
We would be glad to give our 2 cents.
The extraneous stuff isn’t TMI. It’s all part of the show.
And, for the record, I hate talking in front of groups. I was able to do it as a cop because I was in charge 
When you are in front of any group - you HAVE to be in charge.

Nice work, RL. How often do you plan on maxing on MPs? Or are you playing it by ear?
School going okay?

I figure every 6-8 weeks on mils. As for school, so far, so good. I have a group presentation to do next week. We will see how that goes. Algebra and my Office class have been a breeze so far.
You know, I ran the stairs at work today for the first time in a while, then I saw your thread pushed to the top.

Lower deload
Did box squats. Worked up to 5x5@175. I know, I suck. But at least I had the bell on my back and wasn’t ascared of it. Felt more ‘impressive’ than HS V-Squats or Leg Presses (even though I like leg presses). Maybe I’ll try pulling from the floor this cycle. Nothing manly, just get into the groove. Old backs suck!!!
GMS 5x5@135
Again, wasn’t ascared of it and I put my hams to work.
Good looking deload, if I hit a 225 MP I might just call it a life and head home.
Fine work.
Deload over!!!

It’s a HammerStength Machine. It’s kinda like a hack squat, actually.
