excel within my profession

This is one of the four biggest annual events, am trying something way outside the box! Whee!

Although the credentialing is going badly, I need to keep my eye on the fact that we’ve gone from 27 events per year to 64. The reality of my work is that I’m kicking hind end. Heck with what it says on paper…

It’s the March thing. Kind of coasting in the job. Everything was set up last fall. And this is the season that the Board can make changes that impact me… which they did, which is cool, it’s their job to carry the wave of change forward in a healthy manner. The Board, no matter who is on it, has a habit of voting for these changes that involve my department and not telling me about it. I’ve gotten sensitized to this – probably from the time that my job was cut back and no one told me until I showed up at the annual meeting – and it happened again yesterday and how lucky that someone else involved in the change thought to cc an email to me…

of a new event today – wish me Gazebo Luck!

The District Grand Gazebo General just asked me to write an article for her newsletter on my new, cool method, even though that other branch got to it first.

Sort of “how to do this thing when you’re rural and have to be very careful with your resources”

I’m hoping this will count for my credential and will be noticed as a cool new thing from an up and coming GazeboGal…

of my credentialing portfolio…

The cool new mehod I developed is just like the oe developed by another branch with zillions of more resources and they published first!

Had a bog phone call with the Professional Gazebo Certification Lady. I’m going to have to finish by January 2009. You cannot believe how boring the reading list is. Sigh. Got to finish!

I offered to the District Gazebo Lady that I would love to share my new technique at a district conference – she liked my ideas adn will tell the planning committee!

Just a month ago I created a “How to Cover For Me” packet at work. Quite suddenly, the folks had to cover for me this week, and it worked!
