NOT FINISHED!!! DO NOT READ!!!!! EXPARIMENT #6: cheep, simple how-to's of stuff I already know how to do...
deciding to do something a bit different this week. instead of following someone's directions, and learning how to do something, i looked up a bunch of things i already knew how to do, then commenced doing it their way, then my way, to see how the processes compare. now, i'm not just fighting to get it done, but to keep the security that i actually do know how to do it!
part one: simplifying fractions
i've known how to do this since at least the sixth grade (but i can't be sure for exactly how long; anything before high school just bleeds together...), and was confident in my abilities. we'll see...
my process: can one number go into the other? if not, do they have a number in common? work from there, keep going until the answer to both questions is "no!"
their process: 1) make sure it is actually a fraction. [really? that's a step? i'd think i know what a fraction looks like...] 2) find a number that will divide into both ends of the fraction, and write down the simplified fraction. [okay, with ya so far...] 3) if this feels like too much work, just divide each by 2 or 3, and repeat and repeat and repeat until you can't, anymore [first of all, you say you condone laziness, then offer another way, that's actually more work than the origional idea? and, second of all, what if those nubers arent' divisible by either 2 or 3? what if it's a factor of 7 or 5 or 11 or 13 or any of the other prime numbers? didja ever think of that?! huh?! yeah, i didn't think so...]
final verdict: I WIN!!! SUCK ON THAT, eHOW!
part two: applying for a job.
it is my personal pain that i've been so experienced in this. damn economy. anyway, my process is, go into the establishment
