I.S. Classics

Over the years at working here at Independent Study, some funny things have come about that need to be shared. And yes, these are all real.

Silly Questions:

Can you fax me a fedex envelope?
So fax? Is that like faster than regular mail?
I’m taking a high school course and I want to request a final. Do I click on the high school course button or the university one?
You say you’re sending all the materials. Are you sending me a computer too?
How do I use an e-mail?
My son is blond with blue eyes and really athletic. Can he take your courses?


Funny Names:

Jerusalem and his daughter Bethlehem
Fancy Davis
Egyptacio
Amazing Sales
Manly Dexter
Holds-the-Enemy


Weird Things People Have Said To Us:

I haven’t been satisfied lately. Can you satisfy me?
How can I ever repay you? Ammunition? Guns? (From an Army Sergeant)
I love you!
I am going to kill him, I’m going to kill him (and then you hear indiscriminate screaming in the background)
Do you have kids? Don’t ever have kids. Kids are evil.


Funny Sayings at the end of e-mails:

Save a tree, eat a beaver.
Golf is life.

Ah yes yes - Memories. I like Mr. Jerusalem and Little Bethlehem. Cause there aren't other overused Bible names to choose from. I also like the blond hair blue eyes one. Proper response: blue eyes we don't care about, and everyone goes "blond in a bottle" after awhile here anyway.

Rose of Sharon

Made me happy.

Curb Appeal Galore

 This post is to document the journey our outside of our house has been on over the last few years. A lot of these projects I took on this summer, and a few I did earlier. I am so happy with where we are currently at, but still have some plans before it's finished. So, here is what it looked like the day we bought the house. Seven years ago. Don't let the "grass" fool you. It's just weeds. And the ugly brown window trims paired with the ridiculously old glass in the windows and the green brick with maroon grout. Not too pretty. We have since painted the door, trim, and replaced the windows. Also replaced the porch light and house numbers.  This spring we also had a new concrete half circle driveway installed. We live on a busy street and our front yard is useless and our driveway is tiny. So now we have much more functionality, less weeds, and overall happiness. After the driveway was installed, I also ripped out the rest of the grass and installed some decorative...

Going Away Present

Tomorrow is going to be my last day of work at good old Independent Study. It's kind of sad, but also kind of exciting and scary all at the same time. It's sad because I've been here for so long. This is the longest I've ever had one job, and I have made a lot of really good friends here. It's exciting because I will get to have a lot of time off to do whatever I want during the day! And it's scary because I don't have another job lined up yet. After 6 months of applying and interviewing, I'm still none the better for it. I was lucky enough to have one co-worker who cared enough about me and my departure to give me a going-away present. I don't really know why I'm sharing it with you, but here it is: This is the picture he used as a reference to update mine with: Any resemblance? It took him two days to create this picture. He said I was wise enough to become a General Authority. I told him I would have to be a man for that. So he decided to mak...

A couple of days of randomness

I have a couple stories from the past couple days I thought would be fun to share. Yesterday I had a job interview!!! It is for my boss's job at Independent Study. She is having a baby, so I want her job. We shall see how that turns out. After the interview I was waiting in the parking lot for Jarom to come pick me up. While I was waiting there, a lost traveler asked me for directions to the Wilkenson parking lot. I told her to take a right out of the parking lot, then a right at the stop light, and blah blah blah. She thanked my and proceeded on her trek. I then became aware of why she was lost. She took a left out of the parking lot. Not a right, a left. I said right. One left does not equal two rights. It must be hard to get places if you get your lefts and rights mixed up. Poor lady. Yesterday we also decided to drive up to view an apartment that is for rent. We are getting kicked out of ours since our landlord's daughter wants to live there. It is kind of funny cuz m...
