Here I am...

I haven't blogged in DAYS. I haven't even read any blogs, so I have just been trying to catch up on my favorites. I miss reading them, it's like my little blogging family or something.

Change is always hard on people. I think I particularly seem to resist it. Therefore, I've been struggling with upcoming changes in my life. So, now I am resolved to look ahead and be happy ... accept challenges...and know it is going to be good.

I have had several jobs in my life. The longest I had were in the legal fields. First I worked in the office of the County Judge for several years, and then I worked in law offices, including the County Attorney's office (prosecutor) for twelve years. I loved it, and during that tenure, I became a paralegal...you know, certificate and all. Ha. Anyway, to make a long story short, or leave out a bunch, eventually I started working for a school, in particular for the special education department (in the office). Even though the pay was too low, I have just loved it. I love what I do and especially the people I work with. I really, truly do.

My boss is changing jobs and will not be in his position any longer, and told me he wanted me to move over to this new building with him, and do technology. (My job had evolved to doing a lot of that already). I wasn't sure about all this, and leaving those people I enjoy.

But, it will all work out. And, I am excited for this new challenge. I will be training my coworker in the areas that have been mine (excluding technology) and have started working on more technology projects already. I get to keep working on a bunch of trouble shooting and assistance with staff that I like, and get to keep doing the school web page, so I am glad of that. And, the new stuff will be challenging and interesting.

The conference I went to in Omaha was for technology, and I learned a bunch. I hope we can utilize some of the ideas. I will be training two days next week as well, but only day trips. So, I ought to be getting smart sooner or later, right?

Anyway, this is a long post, I know. I just have been tossing this around and around....and today, decided to finally write. Writing is such a way to work things through...it truly is!

Other items to note today: blizzard all day here! Yikes! granddaughter Chloe Bean will be debuting at her first dance recital this weekend! Can't wait! prayers to someone dear to me who needs our prayers right now! thanks to all of you for letting me write!

What a compliment that your boss wants you to go with him! I can't wait for you to tell us new tech-y things. It's all I can do to participate in the blogosphere!
