My passion may be learning . . . about anything. I'm certainly a work in progress when it comes to my occupation. Educational technology is ever-changing and is always interesting to me. I hate it when I make mistakes; and, I absolutely hate it when I feel overwhelmed with the manusha of work (things that I could easily show someone else how to do) and then let big things slip by me. I am also a work in progress when it comes to life in general.
Back to what I love -- learning! Tonight I attended Biotech 101 at the HudsonAlpha Institute in Huntsville. Dr. Neil Lamb is one of those individuals who has found his passion and is connecting it with a community to reap rewards. For 90 minutes, I was spellbound. Amazingly, I think I understood some of what he said! DNA, genomes, proteins, chromosomes, etc., filled the air and my brain. We laughed and we learned. It was a great night, and I am looking forward to the next few weeks.
I'm still learning . . . .

What are my interests?
This is the question of the day . . . the question of my life. Every time I am asked this question, I promise myself that I will develop some. Interests, I mean. How can I be this old and have to think so hard when asked that question? Why? How? It's because I am the quintessential work-a-holic. It's in my genes. My father was one; and, my mother complained about my dad's habits, but she was one, too.
Although I can't ever remember making it a New Year's resolution, it definitely has been a long-time goal to find my passion. There are so many things that I like to do but nothing that I am passionate about. Oh, just say something negative about my family and you'll witness some passion all right; but, beyond my family, I have never found that one thing that really gets me going like work.
I have always loved what I do. Yes, no matter what it has been -- teaching, IT work, administrative work -- I just love it. And, whoever I work for gets more hours out of me than they could ever afford!!!
I plan to write about my passions, about Life 2.0.
