Fun With Power Point

Finally made my first practice slideshow in PowerPoint. It worked, but beyond that it was awful. I just threw something together to get some practice putting a slideshow together. Made a few minor errors but I got the thing to work. I know I'll get better as I go along, but it's a start and no, I WON'T be posting it here or anywhere else. It's kind of like a first draft of a novel or screenplay: It NEVER sees the light of day. I may eventually post something later but not for a while. Have to get good at it first. Hope your Monday wasn't too manic. See everyone later.

Computer Skills

Finally getting a real handle on Microsoft Office. Well, most of it. I finally worked through the section on Power Point. Not as difficult as I thought it would be. It's actually pretty straight forward. Granted, I've heard and seen some horror stories of Power Point presentations gone bad (I'm sure all of you have your own stories) but if done properly, it's actually a good way to get your point across. And the software is surprisingly easy to use. It'll take a few tries to get good at it but that shouldn't be too difficult. Excel and Word are another story. But I'll get there. Have a great rest of the week and a great weekend everyone. See you soon.

Got Some Things Done

Hoorah! I got some things done today. Made some changes to the resumé and sent it to a friend to get an opinion and (finally) started setting up lists in Excel for my Zazzle products. That's going to take a while. My record keeping hasn't been the best up until now so I have to go through each design and see which product(s) it's on. A bit tedious but it's also a good way to get proficient with Excel. It's good to know Excel since it's used just about everywhere. I'm also working on getting better with Word and learning Power Point. Definitely keeping busy with that along with the job search and improving my job search skills. I will take some time for myself this weekend and do something fun. Not sure what, though. Maybe a walk in the park or something like that. I also need the exercise so that's fairly high on my list. Have a great weekend everyone.
