The Lost Report

During my junior year of college, I took a technical writing class as an elective that kicked my butt. Unbeknownst to me when I registered, this "just for fun" class of mine was a requirement for the engineering and construction management students at Central Michigan (Go Chips!). The class itself wasn't full of technical jargon that I couldn't grasp, it was a general writing class that focused on the technical structures that we would likely encounter in the workplace.

This vote isn’t a solution, it’s just prolonging the inevitable and giving government more room to spend money it doesn’t have. We will find ourselves back here once again with even more debt.
