Oh, it will not be the same without you and Mrs. Zod!! I'll keep my fingers crossed, but congrats on going back for your masters. I want to one day... but at this rate, I'll be about 76 before I can afford to. :b
Thanks for all the well wishes. I'm hopeful that with masters courses, the professors are understanding that we're adults with lives, responsibilities and commitments outside of our scholastic endeavors. And to that end, I'm hopeful they'll be flexible.
Diamond45... I'm going for my MS in Information Systems. The nice thing about this program is, it's accelerated (trimesters). So, with no setbacks, I'll have my degree in June of '09. The other nice thing is, all but two of the courses are applicable to an MBA, should I choose to got that route.

So I began classes for my masters this past Saturday. When the first professor handed out his curriculum, I learned that I have an oral presentation due October 6th. I spoke to him briefly about it after class, and was informed that I needed to discuss rescheduling it with the another professor (who handles the public speaking sub-section of this class). She is suppose to be in this Saturday.
At my second class, the curriculum revealed I have a mid-term on October 6th. When I saw that, I said to myself, "Fuck it... PPVIII isn't to be.".
After contemplating my options, I've decided I'll talk to the first professor, and if she's cool with allowing me to do the presentation on another date, I'll discuss a different date for my mid-term with my 2nd professor. The mid-term is open book/open notes, so I'm hoping that translates into him being flexible.
Perhaps a note from Glenn would help.

I feel for you dude. This year I'm missing my wife's birthday as well as her cousin's out of state wedding. I will be paying for this transgression for many months to come, but you make these sacrifices for METAL!

My first 2 beers was to be on you if you recall. You have to be there.
Hope things work out for you!
LOL. Trust me, I'm very much looking forward to being available to buy those beers.

The PP board is so depressing with all these "I can't make it" threads
Good luck, Zod! With your Masters and PP thingy!

oh noes!!
Thanks.
I'm not sure what this has to do with my PP thingy. Get your mind out of the gutter.
LOL. If all else fails, I just may have to resort to that.

Damn, seems a lot of regulars won't, or might not, make it this year. Even though I won't be there for sure, I hope everyone else's situations work out for them.

Please take this with you:
Dear Professor:
While I understand that school and schooling are very important in life, there are certian things in life that are just as important. Such as actually living. While making good money and having an education behind you makes life easier, what is the point of living if you are not able to actually enjoy it while you can?
There is a conflict in Mr. Zod's schedule. This date has been set aside for nearly a year, and the anticipation for both Zod and the people who he will encounter has grown at an increasing rate since the date was known of this event.
I would respectfully request that you allow Mr. Zod to take this exam at either and earlier date or later date as I can only assume that if he takes it on that day, his mind will be other places and he will be filled with regret and remorse.
Thank you,

You're not going to be there? That sucks.
By the way, I never noticed the tag line below your avatar. Awesome.
Yeah... it's all quite screwed up. If circumstances were different, I might be tempted to put this off for a semester. However, my company, like many Fortune 100s, is going through a massive outsourcing effort. And while my group isn't in scope, it seems they won't be content until all that's left is Project Managers and sales people. So, while the getting is good and my while my company is willing to pay for it, I want to quickly add an MSIS to my resume.

We will pull up in a black van, cannonballing a shopping cart in the process. Grab you and throw you in the back, and tell your professors if they don't let you see the show we will fucking kill them.
Then we will say just kidding he will be back in class by the 9th.

I am extremely thankful that I've been attending ProgPower longer than I've been married. When I met my wife PP was already something I did every year, it's a tradition that pre-dates her. I quit smoking for her. I sold my motorcycle for her. She hasn't even hinted that I shouldn't go to ProgPower. Some things just aren't negotiable.
And if this doesn't work, I can make them an offer they can't refuse.
Both are excellent solutions. Good to know I have so many options.

You're very lucky indeed - I know many others have that same good fortune as well (Zod for one). It's such a great community to be a part of - but even better when you're able to share that community with your significant other or life partner.

Yeah, I'm a confirmed no show this year. Hope your situation works out for you, though.
I just changed the tag line a few weeks ago. Point Break is awesome in all its cheesy glory.
