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.

Phillies Win Again!

Well, the Phillies have done it again! They clinched their fifth National League Eastern Division title in a row and they did it the fastest they've ever done it. They're also only two wins away from a 100 win season. Well done, guys!

A Touch of Fall

Gorgeous, clear and cool day. Finally a little touch of fall in the air. It's supposed to get back up into the mid-70's by next week but today's weather is perfect. Sunny, bright and not too warm. Looking forward to more days like this. Great for getting out and walking and just enjoying the sunshine. Pumpkins should be out soon and some of the leaves are starting to change. Definitely one of my favorite times of year.

Fall's Coming

Fall is finally getting here. It's supposed to get cooler tomorrow. Can't be happier. It's been a long, hot and steamy summer. It'll be nice to be able to go outside and not need gills to breathe from all the humidity. It'll also make it nicer to go for walks to get some exercise. Smaller sizes, here I come!

Been Busy, Yet Again

It's been a while. I finished the software course but haven't had any job offers yet. I'm in that experience "Catch 22", where I have the training but no practical experience. They'd probably like to offer me something but I don't have any experience but I can't get experience unless I get a job. Lots of people in this situation. Got through hurricane Irene okay. Some minor flooding at the base of the outside steps and a little water in the basement but we didn't lose power and no real damage. We got lucky. The folks up in Vermont got absolutely blasted and they're still cleaning up the mess. Now we've got TS Lee to deal with next week. Not going to be a good fall foliage tourism season this year, looks like. Hope all of you had a great summer and have some great things coming up this fall.
