Thursday October 28 #2

So my other October 28 post was basically a recap of what we have been learing and this is the real blog for today. So we definitely went over the information really fast in class today and I did feel like there was a lot of information. However, I do like that you highlight in red the information that is important to know. I think that this makes it a lot easier to go home and review what we have learned. I would definitely not have enough time to go in and read each and every slide from beginning to end, so this highlighting system really seems to help me. The whole concept of CIM systems was somewhat confusing to me. I didn't really find CIM systems to be all that interesting so I think I had trouble processing the information needed to understand which has made it hard to remember the information. I did like learning about the nuclear powerplant in San Onofre. I am assuming that you were talking about what we all refer to as the "big boobs" ...meaning the two weird white dome shaped things that you see when driving down the 5 freeway towards San Diego. I mean if thats not what you were talking about...I am still quite interested in what those things are. Anyway the HRIS and HRM systems was something that I did like learning about. It is definitely important to udnerstand what is required in a business and I feel that this is something that could be nothing but beneficial. It was really interesting learning tha tthe job of HR is not to hire people, but to eliminate people from consideration. I am starting to get scared that I am going to graduate school with all of these degrees and not be able to get a job anywhere. I mean I truly hope that this is not the case but it is definitely something that I think about everyday. I mean I'll probably just stay in school till I'm 70.
