Technology in the Education Arena

 
I have been tagged by my colleague, Beth Knittle.  Had to think about this for quite a bit (sorry I took so long Beth).  Decided to come up with times I look back on and cherish or get a laugh from.

I used to work for the Office of Attorney General, Bureau of Narcotics Investigation and Drug Control.  It truly was an interesting job and one I will never forget. 

Went to Catholic school for Grades 1-8.  In 4^th grade.  Caught talking one day so Sister Stephanie made me kneel in front of the nativity scene and I was not allowed to take my eyes off the crèche.  Well, I listened so well and was so intent on not moving at all that I passed out flat on the floor in front of the crèche.

I dressed up as Barney the dinosaur for my daughter’s 3rd birthday.  Did a 30 minute song and dance at her party.  It went well other than losing my dino “shoe.”

I was head majorette in high school – Catasauqua High School in Catasauqua, Pennsylvania.  This was a lot of fun and cherish the memories.

When I worked for Day-Timers, Inc., I was senior tech support.  One day there was a problem with our terminal server (piece of equipment used to connect “dumb” terminals to the mainframe).  Ran diagnostics with the equipment, checked what I thought was everything.  Finally, went to my coworker and asked if he could take a look.  Well, turns out it wasn’t plugged into the mainframe.  He never told anyone but we had a good laugh and I did take a lot of abuse for that one.  However, now when a teacher has a problem and it turns out it wasn’t plugged in, I just laugh, tell them everyone does it – including me, and think back on that day at Day-Timers.

As far as tagging five others, I will pass on that since I don’t know that many bloggers and those I know have already been tagged.
