Well, the survey results will tell, but it wasn’t one of my more energetic outings. That said, I do think the instruction went well and was received well. Also, it was the first session I’ve instructed which included such a wide range of departments. I had a faculty member, a few administrative assistants, someone from facilities and someone from the dining hall. That is pretty significant.

Learned a few new bits. You can format paint anything. Wasn’t aware that feature had such wide applications. Also, I was reminded of an issue with zip codes starting with the number 0. Certainly something to add to my mail merge classes. So, we’ll call that 1.5 new things since one was something I had forgot from years past.

The funny thing I will add about the class was how it flowed together for me. I had a plan, but didn’t really follow it once we got into the meat of things. I started realizing bits and pieces and there were questions which built a better flow than I had on paper. Ah, sometimes good things do happen. Who knows, if 999 more good things happen I might have to stop being a cynic.

Signing off and going home…
