I haven't tried glitter myself, but I've tried a glow-in the dark liquid makeup substance. The point isn't to teach how well soap breaks down whatever the Nurse is putting on your hands, it is to teach how long the healthcare worker needs to scrub to take it off their hands. And because the makeup stuff would stick to the crevasses of fingernails and such, it took a lot of washing. After washing, the nurse turned out the lights and showed how some people would still have glowy stuff all over their hands, especially around the fingernails.

And there is good news. The company I work for is now letting me replace the intranet and internet (it's so early 2000's it kills me every day to look at it). So, I guess I'm back. And it's a simple little site, but I'll take it. I suppose I could just delete the old post (aka rant?), but maybe some shy female will read my plight and know there is hope at the end of the road (music trails off)

programming jobs have gone overseas, leaving fewer to programmer jobs to go to after college. AND if your college didn't teach you exactly the right languages, or enough of them, no one will hire you because they don't have the brains to do it even if you can. I'm not a bitter little cheerleader geek groupie. Not At All. --wasn't there already a story about females in tech? talking about it to death, doesn't mean girls are going to flock to the keyboard...

And finally, saying that solar is cheaper may be true in the summer, but how will you heat houses in the winter with solar? Only run the plant during nights and winter or whatever are the peak hours. Obviously this will probably make the individual kwh:s even more expensive, but peak hour power is much more valuable when other sources are not enough.

Store the electricity in a car battery. Have a closet full of car batteries and walla, electricity during the night. You probably wouldn't even need a whole closet. Use wind during the winter until the freezing rain grinds it to a halt then burn wood in your fireplace and pray to god that you don't freeze yourself. Winters have been so mild anyway, except for a week or two blizzard. Stock up on food and wait it out.
