Micromanaging
Posted by: dateacher on: December 7, 2009
It never ceases to amaze me how some people micromanage everything, and at work they do so to the ‘nth’ degree. Those people who overtly micromanage wonder me even more – are they missing something in their lives that they have to control every little thing everyone else does. If your employees are doing as [...]

Week 1 is in the books for the 2009-2010 academic year, and I survived! This year is going to be very interesting. I am starting my 3rd semester. I don’t have my safety net this year – who the group I call “my girls.” The first group of students who entered during my first semester [...]

We didn’t really add space to our house, but we did reorganize an entire room – which turned the whole house into a disaster area, please explain this someone!

So what happened to spring? Usually in Virginia we get to have a few weeks of sunny days with mild temps and a breeze here and there, oh – and the occasional rain shower.

Referring to two of my previous posts: “Never been popular, why start now” and “A – for Effort,” I came across this C.S.

So – it’s a month into my second semester teaching dental assisting students. I’m amazed everyday how much I learn from this experience and hope the students are learning too. Some days I wonder about the students….

Seems EVERYONE in this great country in which I live is enjoying the lovefest of Inauguration Day. Being unpatriotic, as I know some have called me today, I avoided every bit of the media coverage of Inauguration Day 2009.

Third in a series…
In a previous post in this series, I talked about preparing for the new year and how I do not make resolutions because I eventually end up breaking them. Instead, I focus on what went right and try to continue on that path…while trying to change what went wrong. Sometimes this means [...]
