Computer skills I coulda/shoulda learned years ago . . .

How I wish I could fulfill my continuing education requirement for my vet tech license by going to this instead of the same lame (pun intended) "increase your dental revenue with preventative care" educational fare at our annual state meeting this fall. I have to do 10 CE credits before the end of the year, and I'm considering some online CE, but there still is virtually nothing on farm animal/ruminant health care. Even I am surprised at the dearth of resources. We do have U.S-based American Association of Ruminant Practitioners but I'll still have to do some petitioning to get any CE through them. And I don't think attending the 50th annual sheep-shear-a-thon will count with the Alaska State Board of Professional Licensing.

I'm subbing again today. Tomorrow Suze and I are giving two high school classroom talks--at different schools!-- that's after I take care of the chicks at the feed store and before I go work at North Pole Vet Clinic for the day. "Giblet", our impaired turkey chick, died the morning after we got him, but the guys replaced him with two other bantam chicks. I think they'll grow up to be barred rock chickens, the ones that look dressed in houndstooth cloth. Sexing them is still hard for me. I'm thinking we'll just wait and see who lays eggs. Meanwhile, they are hysterical with worms! They chase each other and fight if you don't give them each one!

I taught myself PowerPoint and am feeling very self-satisfied with that. Tania also schooled me up in html tags, and I'm still enjoying the power and the novelty of that as you can see. . .
