I hope that it goes well Muji and you don't experience any nonsense with your boss

Sending you a blessing and a big hug....xo

Sending prayers and good thoughts your way. Hoping you'll get used to the new tasks quickly.
Peace and blessings.

Good luck, ihope ur able to manage ok. Theres no shame in asking for help or asking them to run you through how its done s few times.

Welcome back muji. I used to just write the steps to a computer task down in a numbered list. Worked for me. Good luck with it. BTW I just read a very interesting article about Appalachia’s history and unique food.

Good luck in school today

Yeah, Shaky, thanks for that list idea, because that's what I got the textbook salesman to do for me when he sold me a new textbook for my classes. It's an "e-text" meaning it's not on paper, it's only online, so I had to write down step by step how to log on to it, not just for my students but for me, too. I tell you, joining Daily Strength really helped me start learning this stuff.

I really appreciate your words about there being no shame in asking for help, Alittle. I just have to swallow my pride and say, "um, so how do you turn this thing on?" Seriously. One of my biggest obstacles with these new "e-texts" I'm using is just where to start. After that, things kind of go on a roll. So I just have to do as you say, and say: "um, starting?" :-)

Thor, I need that luck, and Beryl and SunCloud, thanks for the blessings. Both the luck and blessing will be put to conscientious good use, not taken for granted.

I really appreciate this support. It's going to help me get a good night's sleep before I teach tomorrow. On Wednesdays every week this semester I teach all day and a night class, too. The day's work goes from teaching from 9am to 8:45pm on Wednesdays, then, meaning it comes a quarter hour away from being a 12 hour work day. It'll be great to have easier rest from your support for Daily Strength for tomorrow. Thanks, y'all.

By the way, my "y'all" comes from being here in Appalachia, Shaky. So glad you're reading up on our local food and customs. I love collard greens in particular, one of our country dishes.

My goodness... I've taught over 20-some years. I can't imagine 39!! You are in the downhill stretch. (I'll admit, I'm kind of jealous. ;)

Ha! Yeah, blue, 39... It really did sneak up on me...

I had a tough first day at school. Administrators gave conflicting orders involving computer stuff twice re 2 different classes on my first day and then I heard from an associate dean after work for not following the conflicting orders each to the letter. Kind of an impossible task. 18 months until retirement....

The second day back to classes at school was tough re this computer stuff, too. I was admonished by my dean for accepting our textbook company's tech support help; I'm not supposed to let him into our system to help like he does for the other area schools who use the same textbooks. Our college, I was told, has a higher "security" standard than other area schools. As if a textbook tech support guy were going to steal from us? I don't get it. So I'm supposed to do the computer stuff on my own without the textbook help. Ouch. Don't see the point there and feeling overworked and overwhelmed. 18 months until retirement....

I'm soooooooooooo tired today, too. And it was only a 3 day work week this first week of classes, since they didn't start until Wed. Oh, boy. And I speak on recovery at a church on Sunday, too. Oh, boy. Need to imagine energy sources into reality,,,,

Sure am glad the first week back at school is over. The concerns I had materialized re the extra computer stuff needed to start school this time. That new Learning Management System is a bear, and not just for old timers like me. There simply hasn't been enough training in it across the board at my workplace, not for instructors nor for staff.

Thank goodness being here at Daily Strength online and getting through our own big changeover a couple of years ago gave me experience in how we can indeed get through a major technical change. But it was a big one for us here, and it's a big one where I work, too.

Thanks for your support.

Isn't that crazy?? Hope next week is easier for you.

Thanks, Blue. Last week was a short week (we started classes up after the holidays on Wednesday last week), Lucky for me, today's another holiday, so this week will be short, too, conserving energy.
