What Is Jim Up To Today?

At Home In Bloomington

Bloomington, Illinois

         Week of 3/3/25

         I was not delivering a class this week, my schedule just says 'Instructor Prep'.  But heck, I retire in EIGHT weeks, what would I be prepping for?  My schedule is almost blank.  In days past I would have been worried about this.  Not now, I'm almost grateful!  Since I will retire in eight weeks, I decided to change the name of this blog.  My future entries may center around what I do, Estate Sale I attend, and my past life in the US Navy Submarine Service.  There's no telling where my mind will go!  We'll see what I write about.

         As far as our kitchen goes, we're taking it slow and easy.  Or should I say, she is.  If it was all up to me, we'd have unloaded all the boxes last week, or once Scott had finished his work.  However, the kitchen is her domain, I don't dare unload things without her involvement.  You know what I mean.  It's okay though, I can live with that.

         There are three classes left on my schedule, I don't see it changing at all.  All three classes are one's I've delivered for at least 15 years,the last one was the second class I delivered when I started with Motorola 24 years ago.  I have a little 'prepping' to do, but not a lot.  I will review the Hands-On Exercises as well as the Powerpoint slides, but I won't spend a lot of time on them.  I need to be careful though and not develop a 'Short Timers' attitude.  I refuse to become that, I want to ensure that I approach these classes the same way I have throughout my career.

         That's it for now.  Until my next entry, write all you can, and love everyone, especially those special people who fill your life!
