Some of y'all have Netflix, right? Read the email they just sent out last night! c:

I mean you might not have got it yet, they might be doing batches, IDK IDK. Read it when you get it.

I was one of the (apparently few) people who did not get pissed about Netflix separating the DVD vs streaming services. They're clearly two different markets. But I still like the fact that they sent out the email, even if it did, uh, take awhile for them to respond to the uproar. Maybe they didn't notice it immediately?

No, wait, I know. They know customers will always get pissed about price increases (duh) and thought they just had to wait it out. People just started dropping the service instead :c customers do not know about markets and that streaming cost Netflix lots of money. It needs to be explain.

Like people who don't understand the huge discount on like, e-books. Yeah, paper doesn't cost that much. It's partially a loyalty discount. If you are buying an e-book formatted for the nook...you probably have a nook. And are going to be loading it with more books.


Anyways, what else. Ummm. I forgot to mention last night that I decided to bring one of my plushes to school with me for cuddling. I chose emobunny, as he is the one I have always wanted to cuddle most! He is kind of fragile though, being the um...second? plush I ever made. His eyes are held on by one piece of thread. And I do not really know how that's sewed on. There's certainly...a lot of give in them. xD;;

Finally, a song! If you are not familiar with Japanese, the meaning might be lost a bit. 'Eto' is a filler word in Japanese, like 'um'. Eto+eto = toeto.

Yeee!

Update on previous post: we did, indeed, kick ass. The teacher let us go early while the other teams prepared for their presentations (we were the first to go, and the only group who went this week) but caught us on our way out to tell us that we went well above and beyond her expectations. She also was blown away by my abilities with Microsoft PowerPoint. :3

Now I'm thinking about how the name PowerPoint came about...and Microsoft Office naming conventions in general...they're very good. They suggest what the program does, but are simple+unique.

I feel like I should play around with the other Microsoft Office tools as well. I have actually no idea what they are. Although Access looks like it might be a way of conglomerating your passwords?


OH YEAH and ummm I'm starting to realize that my business major means I'm going to be spending the next few years listening to people complain about affirmative action policies. And by 'people' I mean students with no business experience. And by 'complain' I mean heavily imply that there is no way to fill diversity quotas without hiring under-qualified people.

Oh well. More idiots in the business world=less competition for me. Hiring for diversity is just good business sense regardless; visible minorities are still a generally underutilized pool of human resources, and having a homogeneous workforce is definitely a liability now. You can sell just in America, and maybe even just to a select population, but I don't expect a company that can't expand to more diverse markets will ever be really successful.
