It’s funny how things come at you.  I’ve looked at and read about Myers-Briggs for years.  My mom is a MBTI guru so I’ve been taking the test since I was about 12 years old.  I just happened to be reading some information on it just this week and I am amazed at how timely [...]

Seminar at VCU went well…  Lots of good feedback.  I stayed in my comfort zone on the presentation though.  It was material that I had presented before so I stayed with the traditional presentation style.  Sorry Jane Vella…  But, it works and the client is happy, very happy.
Interview was interesting.  They asked what I need [...]

Does that make you think of slamming on the brakes?  Amazing how a few little things happen and life can go into a tail spin.  The dog attack, a trip out-of-town for Easter and then painters all over my house with their flirtatious banter and drop cloths everywhere. It’s like I can’t get anything else [...]

So, why are there ads on my blog page now?  How do I make those go away?  It looks like some words are underlined and if I float my mouse over them, an ad pops up.  At least the ad has something to do with the word that’s underlined!  But, I don’t particularly care to [...]

Through a very circuitous route, the Teaching with Technology organization has been added to my Blackboard.  There’s some really good stuff in there from the VCU Center for Teaching Excellence workshop series.  If anyone else is interested in having the organization added to your Blackboard, contact Jeff Nugent (jsnugent@vcu.edu).

It’s coming…  I can feel it.  Yesterday, it was the sore throat for the first couple of hours after I woke up.  It amazes me that I can convince myself that I must have been snoring.  I have never, ever been accused of snoring.  Then came the headache that lasted through 4 Ibuprofen, two cups [...]

I like little tests that help folks understand themselves better.  There are some things that make people feel different and alienated.  The little tests seem to help some people feel more comfortable about the fact that there are others like themselves.  Kolb’s model serves to help us understand ourselves and others better…
That said, I [...]

I really enjoyed the activity around privileges.  First, I like it when I can move around a room – experiential learning in a classroom (and not on a ropes course) is great.  I don’t know if it was planned on the part of the facilitator or not, but I found myself wanting more time to [...]

Okay, so maybe the job thing isn’t such a great deal after all.  I finally met with my boss today.  They were thinking that I was willing to work hourly, PT status, with no benefits but for 40 hours a week to help them out.  Really?  Could they really think that?  That would be REALLY [...]
