I put out a plea to Bonnie from "The Chattering" for her new URL, and she sent it to me via E-Mail. And I copied and pasted it successfully onto my index page! Now, if Lyra would only do the same. I'm too embarrassed to ask her because she spent around 12 months teaching me how to do this and now I've forgotten everything. I do love the copy and paste feature. I still don't know how to forward or attach, so I just copy and paste, and no one has to know just how computer challenged I am.
Well, this is the second day of my new resolution to walk everyday, and I didn't. It wasn't really my fault, but I still feel let down. I had to work late (another people problem...they've been plaguing me for several weeks now), and when I got home, the furnace man was here to clean and check out the furnace. Isn't that the way of resolutions?
And DB was late coming home for dinner, so I had an extra serving of cashews while I waited. No, of course I didn't adjust the carbs at dinner. Whaddya think, I'm perfect? But the rest of the day went well. Maybe there is hope for me, yet.
We are without an Education Manager. The last one went back into the classroom (and isn't doing very well there, but that's another story), and we were kept hanging by a person in-house who was toying with the idea of taking the position. We have over 55 education staff, and that doesn't include volunteers, subs, and welfare workers. It's a huge job.
There was a time when I would have applied for it. Now that the discernment process is so far advanced (4 of the 39 steps are now completed...remember, I began the process in April), I'm not interested in taking on a new position. Whatever happens with the priesthood thing, I will retire in August.
Well, after waiting for over a month for the in-house person to make up her mind, she turned it down. So I am "interim" until they hire a new one. This is on top of my regular job, so I find myself embroiled in people problems, and inundated with paperwork from my own job. Adding to that is our site manager's difficulties at home...she may have to take a family leave...and the other assistant is overburdened with meetings for the agency. So that leaves me to sort out all the people stuff.
I don't mind any of this; I enjoy the people in our building, and I am happy to support the site manager during her difficult time, BUT, it means I am running full tilt everyday. And I'm getting very tired. Thank goodness, I have this Friday off to go to the Diocesan Convention! I will be running there, too, but it will be a change. And I love Convention.
One of the teacher assistants said today, "When I first started working here, and went to your trainings, I would go home and tell my husband that you are crazy. Those things you were teaching us might have worked 50 years ago (that would make me a teacher/trainer at 16 years old), but they don't work anymore. Now, I go home every night and dig out the papers from last year's classes and try them out. And they DO work, you know!" It's statements like that that make all the people stuff worthwhile.
I've often thought the teachers think I make up this stuff in my kitchen; I didn't realize they thought I made it up 50 years ago!

The long hiatus from the internet during the Pretty Bay days wiped out all my own memory of how to makes links, etc. So, as some people have moved to new URL's, I depended on those links that still work to get me to some of my favorite journals.
