I am now into my third day of fall classes, well class, I only have a single enrollment this time around. I will be finished with my degree program in December.

It is perhaps a bittersweet feeling knowing I will be finished, but that I may not be able to put my degree to work for an employer. My 3-month job search was a total failure. It has become quite clear that I will not pass a background check.

If I am going to work it will have to be for myself.

But that is very much a consideration for the future. Presently, my goal is to earn an A+, or close to it in my Business Communication course.

Writing has never been a strong suit of mine. Neither was math, but I suddenly found it understandable once I started college. Somehow I couldn’t grasp numbers in middle and high school. Perhaps it was my ADD interfering?

I came across a quote in my textbook which I found quite humorous and wanted to share:

If you think an apostrophe was one of the 12 disciples of Jesus, you will never work for me. If you think a semicolon is a regular colon with an identity crisis, I will not hire you. If you scatter commas into a sentence with all the discrimination of a shotgun, you might make it to the foyer before we politely escort you from the building.

I got a real kick out of this quote. From my experiences posting on social media, I can attest that punctuation is often treated as an afterthought if it is not completely ignored.

Far be it for me to morph into some sort of “Grammar Nazi,” I try my best to muck through the walls of text to get the message the OP wishes to relay.
