On the Porch with Pat

It'a a little nippy out on the porch tonight!

Over the last few years, I have discovered something about myself. What I enjoy about just about anything that brings me joy is the process of learning. I love learning something new. When we finally got Windows at work (as opposed to Big Box with Green Screen, aka terminal), I immediately was hooked! We bought us one for home. I studied everything I could find out about using Windows. I had all my co-workers asking me how to do this and where to find that. Even my supervisor discretely worked out a secret strategy for letting me teach her without making her look less supervisory to the other workers. Even after she was promoted to field supervisor, she would sneak a call to me every couple of months. "Pat, don't say a word about me calling you; I'm not supposed to call you guys now that I'm not over you any more. Pleeeeze tell me how to fix this or create that."

I still have documents that I created years ago before our State Office had finished preparing the official ones we needed. Co-workers still come to me and ask me to e-mail me a copy of this or that form. Why bother saving it, when you can always ask Pat?

This story really does have a point, but I believe it will be better made in the light of day. Please come back Saturday and see where this leads.
