A new year and a new page

A lot has happened since the last post. Weddings, lose of job, good weather, the job search, grandkids, new hobbies, and more.
It is tough looking for a job in this economy. Crazy. The wife quite earlier to help with the weddings so when the notice came that I was out the door, it was a shock. I should be more upset. Don't get me wrong, I did get upset and I do not want to go back to the place unless I have to. The last time it was a quick dash. Because of the number of people that were involved, those left behind do have a doom and gloom look about them. Always worried about those that were let go.
I guess the issue that really got me was when I was let go and the reasons. Then for some reason there was a new guy hired, not in my position but in the shop. I knew we needed the guy and all "they" had to say was here is what we need to do.
I was on facebook for a while. It was good but addicting. I also had people upset with my postings because in one case an employee of the firm was concerned to be associated with me as I had some non-positive remarks about the lay-off. Wahhh.

I am teaching. I teach philosophy and online safety. Ok, here is a problem I have. Why do students fail to put their names on their papers??? It confuses me.

A new hobby for me is geocaching. That is really interesting. Using a GPS to find treasures others have left. Find the treasure, log your find in the treasure and post your find on line. Go to www.geocaching.com or www.navicache.com for information. Ended up buying an older GPS for my use. I take the grandkids out on occasion to look for those treasures. I need to work on a few myself to leave somewhere.
