A Sick Day

I took a sick day today because I went for my annual doctor's checkup.  This cough I have is probably due to my blood presssure med; however, because there was a very small spot on my lung a year ago, I had a chest xray.  There was nothing there but I am to schedule a CT scan soon.

Toi and I went to Barbara Hughes' house in Horseshoe Bay tonight to make some cards.  We made two really detailed cards for Fall.  Wow what a great house with a great view!

 

My job is awesome...

.....in that I have opportunities for growth and development that I might not get anywhere else. Yesterday, I represented FLCCT, working with a team of Web developers from PayPal/Ebay in Austin. We are entered into a web site competition being sponsored by Knowbility called AIR - Austin . This Accessible Internet Rally is challenge among non-profits and web design teams.

Team PayPal is composed of Nicole (lead), Jeremy, Carroll and Chuch. We met at theri headquarters on Parmer Lane on the Free Scale campus. PayPal/Ebay have about 300 employees at this sight and the walls and floors and cubicles are done in primary colors like Ebay.

I left with the following mission steps:

• Check texasonline to see what kind of services they offer in the way of event management
• Set up a PayPal account (Bob)
• Look into the purchase price of Adobe Contribute

I AM LEARNING SO MUCH!
