Hooray! I got everything fixed!

Finally, all of the links in my blog work properly, even my Photo Story!

For those of you who read my FTP document about the Technology Conference in Morgantown, I have an update: I'm not going to be able to attend. Something has come up for work that I can't miss, and that upsets me, because I was really hoping to meet you all in person. Hope you all can attend, and have a great time. Maybe some other time I'll get to meet you folks.

Photo Story 3

My Photo Story 3 project is available now, after a few days without Internet service. I don't think I ever missed my Internet connection as much as I did this past weekend. My story introduces you to our farm, which has been a big part of my life for the past six years. I hope you enjoy it. Click here to view my Photo Story!

My FTP Experience

I was introduced to the Fairmont State FTP site in two previous Education classes, Educ. 2225 and Educ. 2226. I haven't used the site for about a year, though, and needed a "refresher". As with most things, I get rusty when I don't often use the technology I've learned. The document I posted on my ftp site is located here. Hope to see you at the conference. I plan to attend on September 30th.

Cover Letter

Okay! My Cover Letter is done, and is available for your viewing pleasure here. The position I "applied" for is Technology Integration Coordinator for Taylor County, WV. The URL for that position is here. I was kind of surprised at how good a fit that position was when I looked at both my job history and educational experiences. And I've still got 9 hours of technology classes to take before I graduate!

My Resume and Job Search Resources

My resume is listed with my Google Docs at "My Resume". To search for jobs in West Virginia, go here. For jobs in Pennsylvania, go here. For jobs in Maryland, go here. I'm still working on my cover letter, but watch for it soon! In case you haven't tried it yet, uploading documents to Google Docs is pretty easy, but I do have some lines in the second part of my resume that I can't explain, nor can I find a way to eliminate them. Anybody have any insight into this? I'd appreciate the help!

Personality Activity

Well, I just took the personality test. After looking at the possible personality types, I felt I was more of a Sensing type, rather than Intuition; definitely Intraverted rather than Extraverted; probably Perceiving rather than Judging; and I was undecided as to whether I'm more Thinking or Feeling. When I got the results of the test, I was actually quite surprised. The test showed me to be Sensing, Intraverted, Perceiving, and 50-50 on the Thinking/Feeling rating. The results of the test were exactly what I had guessed. However, I suppose it is possible for someone taking the test to adjust their answers to make the test come out however he or she hopes it will. I don't think it would be too hard to determine which answer makes one seem more of an introvert than an extrovert, or more of a "thinker" than a "feeler". I didn't do that, but it does seem possible that someone could.

My Google Calendar

I had forgotten how the Google calendar feature worked until I "poked around" a bit, and it's all coming back to me now. Not quite like riding a bicycle, but not too bad! The URL for my calendar is on the menu to the right.

Sometime soon I'll attempt to add my work calendar events so they'll all be in one place for a change. That would certainly be helpful, especially since I only have to do it once, and it would be accessible to me anywhere I have Internet service. Very handy, indeed!
