Fun Class at the Library

Today I taught at the library and I even had some new students. Last week there were 17, but today 7 arrived. We did some fun things in writing and I enjoyed the teaching. Then I returned home on this very hot day for a nice long nap. I needed it!

Fancy Nancy Says: Don't let the heat wear you out. Drink lots of water.

Skin Doctor Special

Jobs availabe for future skin doctors. If you are looking for a career, think about becoming a skin doctor. You will never be without patients. Today I had an apt. and all of the skin doctors are busy. It seems that thsi career does not have layoffs.

Fancy Nancy Says: Everyone needs a skin doctor now and in the future.

Library Workshops a Go Situation

 I have spoken with a new library and they liked my idea about presetning a program on Identity Theft. It does take some marketing to get these programs off the ground. My Writing Workshop is going well and on Tues we meet again. Time will tell how many arrive.

Fancy Nancy Says: Marketing is the key to most projects n life. You can have a good idea, but others need to know about your ideas to promote them.

Life Has Surprises

Yesterday was my first writing class at the library. We had expected just 5 writers and 17 writers arrived. It worked out fine, but it was a surpise. Before the writing class I checked on a difrerent class that I was going to teach. Since no one signed up, we canceled that class.

I have learned in teaching that you never know who will actually arrive. The key is to adjust to the moment.

Fancy Nancy Says: You have to learn to adjust to circumstances.

Head of Barclays Bank Resigns

Well I just read I am not the only person who has resigned. This morning I read the head of the large English bank Barclays resigned his postition as Presdient. I am in good company by resigning my volunteer job. I am sending out course proposals for 2013 for my teaching in Florida.

Fancy Nancy Says: You have to learn to Reject any rejection!

That Is Not Me!

Yesterday I resigned from a volunteer job. I was told that if anyone asked a question, I could not give my real opinion. As a Professor this did not sit well with me. I wrote my letter of resignation . In summary my reason for resigning was " Those rules are not for me". I do not like to have my thoughts and words censored. I need to feel comfortable in a place where my skills are valued.

As a result, I am learning that sometimes volunteering is tougher than taking paid employment. In any case, I made my decision and I am comfortable with what I did.

Fancy Nancy Says: You have to feel happy and comforatlbe with your work. Don't let anyone try to intimidate you.

Stating Your Opinion

Today I was volunteering and the director suggested that when people ask your opinion, you are not supposed to answer them directly. This is tough for me, since I value the truth and many folks value my opinion. I am not sure that this is something I can agree with. As a result I may have to rethink my volunteer job. As a teacher I like to share the facts. Sometimes this is not the case in business. Time will tell if I will continue this volunteer position. Good to sleep on decisions.

Fancy Nancy Says: If you are not sure what you will do, sleep in it, and then you will know the answer!
