Teaching!

Here I sit in a hotel room in New Albany watching what has somehow or another become appointment television in NCIS. It is extremely sad when you rush around to leave home just so you can make it to the hotel to watch a television show but this is my life. Grab a piece of sanity and hang on to. I am here tonight because tomorrow I have the pleasure of doing what I truly love to do in teaching adults. Our topic for tomorrow is using the DiSC Personality system to become a better leader. It is the first of four sessions for future leaders at Floyd Memorial Hospital.

Now don’t get me wrong there is certain rushes when you close a sale or find a solution for a customer but nothing really matches seeing the proverbial light bulb go off above the heads of engaged students. Little did I know when I spent four years muddling through the IU School of Education in my pursuit of teaching US History that my real calling was teaching to adults? Of course had I paid any attention in High School I probably would have realized just how few seventeen year olds qualify as an engaged student (except of course the pregnant few in a rush to find love and happiness with a zit faced and perpetually horny classmate.)

So, here I am a couple of hundred of miles away from home working one of my, count em, four jobs yet still quite content. Although I never enjoy being away from the family and especially sleeping in a separate bed from my fantastic wife it is good to know that God is giving me a chance to use my talents and also earn a few bugs and continue to climb out the financial hole that is now my life.

Life is GOOD!
