you asked . . .

Many of you want to know what I do now that I'm not working from home.

Thanks for asking.

My new job is with the County Cooperative Extension Office (it's quite a mouthful...answering the phone at work takes deep concentration). It's a cooperative extension through the University of Wyoming.

What is Cooperative Extension, you ask?

I had to look it up myself. This is straight from our website . . .

"Cooperative Extension is built to provide practical education that focuses on issues which influence daily life that helps to keep Wyoming competitive in a global society. Extension Specialists and Extension Educators are committed to a theme of excellence with educational programs customized to meet the needs of all Wyoming residents.

Our office brings you reliable, research-based information in agriculture and natural resources, consumer and family economics, community and economic development and 4-H / youth development. Our goal is simple... to help you put knowledge to work!"

I am the secretary...administrative assistant...office administrator...or whatever you want to call it.

It's a good fit for me. I like paper. I like organizing. And I like Pam from the Office.

Speaking of which, last week, a couple of people I work with wrapped our boss's desk in wrapping paper while he was out of town. And I've heard talk of a scheme involving the county clerk's stapler and jello.

As I was saying, this job is a good fit for me.

I enjoy what I do and I work with wonderful people.

[my first day on the job...don't I look happy?]
