Work Hard


Have you ever left work feeling exhausted but great because you accomplished alot?  That's how I felt today.  I walk into the building at 7:30 a.m. and walked out of it at 5:00 p.m.   I think I had to play all of the parts of my technology/teaching position:  I worked on the phone system, and solved a wifi issue.  I helped others with their printing issues, fingerprinted someone and showed some teachers how to save time.  Oh yeah, and I taught fourth graders too.

As I was teaching the fourth graders, who had to log on to three different programs with three different, though similar, user names and passwords, I explained to them how important it was for them to remember all of their different IDs.  In the past, I had tried to make all of the students' log in information the  same for each program.  I DO NOT do this anymore.  This is our life in this information age.  The fourth graders will think of different logins as part of life, and not complain as much as adults do now.  They are learning to be successful in their world.

I really like my job, especially when I'm helping others understand how technology is saving them time.

5 Days Post Haylee

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Responsible

Responsible: having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. I am responsible for many things whether I am at work or at home.  I don't always like it.  Sometimes, I do not want to be responsible.  I want to slack off or not care or just be the opposite of responsible.

Vaccine Day!

Image
Today I was able to get my 1st dose of the Pfizer - Covid 19 vaccine. Our county vaccinated 8,000 teachers in two days! It was very well run. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minute wait afterwards. It's been about five hours since and my arm is a bit sore now. I can't remember the last time I got a vaccine. Probably a tetnus shot. --- Those really hurt. Anyway, I'm glad to do my part to get this pandemic under control. As I look at my calorie tracker for the day: 1750 calories food and 59 oz. water.
