Summer 2010 Newsletter Dear Readers, Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. I have my grandson for a month, and we caught the movie matinee of Eclipse the third movie of the Twilight Saga . We all loved it and can't wait until the next movie comes out. The new Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows trailer was shown during the previews--definitely a more grown-up movie. After the movie, we came home cooked hamburgers on the grill. After buying milk shakes at Cookout , we drove onto the Blue Ridge Parkway to watch the fireworks. A good time was had by all. As for college, I now have a diploma in Medical Office Administration to add to the Office Systems Technology degree from last year. I started my first full semester of Web Technologies, taking only two classes since it's a short semester: Security Concepts and Introduction to Programming Logic (basic PHP programming). I think I love programming, and have decided to go all the way with Web Technologies, but I hope to finish...

Dear Readers, Sorry, I'm a little late posting this. I will also post the update in a few minutes, Summer 2010 Newsletter . I'm still in college, one more class to go to complete Medical Office and many for a Web Technologies degree. However, two more classes to get a Web Design certificate. I'm leaning toward the Web Design certicate, and then just take a few classes here and there until I can complete the Web Technologies Assosicate's Degree Program. On the work front, I'm no longer day-job hunting.

The person in the MIS position before me retired January 1, 2010 and I officially started the position at that time, but I began training for it in September 2009. I am loving this position and look forward to learning all I can. On the writing/r...

Well, as I've said before, I'm not very good at keeping up my blogs. That's like stating the obvious as you can tell, just by looking at them. But if you're following this, I wanted to catch up with everyone as what I'm doing now. Still in college, one more class to go to complete Medical Office and many for a Web Technologies degree. However, two more classes to get a Web Design certificate. So I'm leaning toward getting the certificate while I have funding, and just take a class here and there to get the degree. On the work front, I didn't have to get another job. As luck has it, I was able to obtain the MIS (Management Information Systems) Specialist position with WDB (WIA office) where I did the Assistant Coordinator during summer 2009. The person in that position retired the January 1, 2010 and I officially started the position at that time, but I started training for it in September 2009. I do like the position and look forward to learning all I can. W...
