History? What good is that?

Well I got a call from one of our CSRs (customer service representatives) yesterday, SM (mmm…S & M). She’s a sweetie! And she’s got huge…tracts of land.

Anyway. She asks me about the weight of an African Swallow. No wait. About pentachlorophenol (penta or PCP) treated lumber. So we go through some of it and I find myself in the office a bit later talking to her about it.

Blah, blah, blah…weight of preservative x gallons we put in…blah, blah, blah. You get the idea.

She comments that she HATES math! GASP! How can you HATE math?

 Well there’s any easy answer – she was a history major. WTF can you do with a degree in History? Maybe I’m just too ignorant…

I wanted a degree in History, Math hurt my brain after I start smoking p. . er, working, but it’s generally quite useful to me. Astonomy was the class *most* useful to me at University, because I always know how to tell if my car is going to be in the shade in X hours. w()()+ ;)

History has got to be right up there with art majors too. Ugh. Math is fun. Math can be cool. Look at all I’ve learned from stats. Yay for stats! What I find funny is that she’s a CSR and I can’t quite figure how being a history major factors into that. File that under things that make you go hmmmm. ;-) ~ H
