My director has never been discouraging about my CS connection.....but she has always said "I just don't have time for that"......she belongs to a directors loop, and thought that she got the best info from there.
HOWEVER........I am always sending her info, and flyers, and theme show ideas, etc.....from here, and then they show up on her directors loop several days/weeks later! At conference, she pulled out her laptop to have me show her how to get on CS........so she actually may be a lurker right now!:D

What the heck is snood?

Not that I need any OTHER way to get sidetracked!! LOL:o :eek:
 
Snood is a game, developed originally for Macs but now available for Windows and at least one game system (Sony or Nintendo). A math teacher came up with it to get his students interested in pattern recognition, etc. It reminds me a little of Tetris, because you have to match colors to get things to disappear. It's HIGHLY addictive - I haven't played it in several years on purpose. http://www.womgames.com/index.php

Without this site, I wouldn't have much training. Yes, I do waste time here, but I used to waste time on People.com while watching T.V. at night. OR, I'd shop online. I would be on my computer anyway. Now I'm actually learning things relevent to my business. AND being entertained by "real" people.
 
THIS CAN BE A TOOL OF LEARNING BUT IT CAN ALSO BE A TOOL TO STOP YOU FROM REALLY WORKING THE 3-2-1, SO JUST KEEP THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE. i TRY TO VISIT A COUPLE OF TIMES A MONTH TO KEEP ABREAST TO ALL THE COOL THINGS.. SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS..
