role play
After two days away from the office to attend a seminar that will give me the managerial toolbox I need to become a better supervisor, it’s back to the grindstone for one more day, huzzah! The seminar really was very good, in that I not only learned about things that will help me out, but… Read.

a tall tale
We took positions at our flip charts and prepared for the first round of participatory exercises at this morning’s leadership seminar. “To let you know when it’s time to change positions, I will make a loud noise,” our instructor, Mary Kate, advised us.

looks are deceiving
This would probably fall under the heading of stuff I shouldn’t write about, but the longer I thought it over the more important I believed it was to share this: Before you call up your banker to bitch him out because you suspect last month’s interest payment on your loan was calculated wrong, get out… Read.

roundup
Time for a quick update before I jump in the car and head into town to apply my nose to the grindstone … Yesterday was Tuesday, as you may have noticed, and Tuesday is dance night, which you may have already noticed if you were here last week at about this time. My Darling B… Read.
