TinkerBarb -> A Humble Request For Forgiveness (6/28/2008 4:08:44 PM)
|
I humbly request forgiveness from my OLP family. I have been horribly absent for quite some time. However, you are all in my thoughts and prayers on a continuous basis. I quietly send out those mysterious dustings of Pixie Dust that magically appear. I do admit I lurk from time to time to make sure I can send out Pixie Dust to all those in need, but I just am finding time to be quite lacking in my day-to-day activities to let you know I'm here sending out best wishes, prayers, and Pixie Dust.
I am still working full-time and attending classes. This spring saw Microbiology, YUK!, and Technical Writing. I have been and continue to work on an Independent study in Life Cycle Nutrition. This coming week I begin, FOTU help me!, Biochemistry for 6 weeks. I feel that pretty soon, I'll have the course work stuff under good control.[:-]
Recently, I also added a leadership role into my life. I applied and was chosen to run on my national association's ballot for a position on their governing body and was accepted to run and won the election. This is a great honor and responsibility and I hope to represent myself and my field of work well in the next 2 years. I have recently gone to a Leadership conference in Las Vegas for 4 days and it was an awesome experience for networking and the speakers were fantastic.
In October, I'll be going to Chicago for a 5-6 days for a conference. I'll be attending meetings at the McCormick Place Convention Center. Now for everyone in the Chicago area...I have a couple questions. The headquarters hotels will be on Wacker Avenue. Is this walking distance from the Convention Center? There are shuttles, but I often prefer walking...Is this possible? Is there anything I need to know about the area? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
