I went back to work shortly after everyone switched to PCs. I totally missed that mainframe DOS era.

First of all, the story of the ...Great post today! First of all, the story of the famous photo of the Angry Bluebird (taken by Michael Smith) is a fascinating one! I love the internet for being able to research these things at the click of a button! Michael was able to retire due to this photo! <br /><br />Second, I was so fortunate that most of my secretarial career at a large corporation happened 'before' the cube system; and even when I did work occasionally in an 'open area' or in a cube, there was lots of space between desks/cubes, and there were windows nearby. Also my work was more of a 'solitary' nature, and I always loved that aspect, as it fitted my personality, even though I'm not totally uncomfortable in social settings. (I could write a book about my 'secretarial career' from the 1960s to 1990s, especially during the switchover in the 1980s from typewriters to word processing - before the 'mouse'. I feel like some kind of dinosaur! I got blank stares from young folks recently when I asked them if they knew what 'shorthand' was and why it was needed.) <br /><br />And I always value our 'quiet time' at home. I read some of the article so far, and I look forward to reading the rest of it! Thanks for the link! It's nice to know that others don't have a 'need' for all that 'togetherness' and 'group thinking'!!! Hope you enjoy your new workplace. A new pencil bin would make me happy, too!!! :)Kathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436608725578367078.post-2767916980435961002012-05-18T09:31:40.028-05:002012-05-18T09:31:40.028-05:00Introvert here...end of the school year business i...Introvert here...end of the school year business is upon us as well, and its hard to deal with!

They are learning that they can spend alone & it's amazing to see what they come up with. Yet they also know it's ok to do somethings together as well. Yet we're like you. I do things & tell the kids," no matter how you do this, it's ok. Cause there's no right or wrong way." They express themselves freely & it's wonderful to see what they come up with at such young ages.BSOTFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04843640668840809605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436608725578367078.post-74559331055927724052012-05-18T09:18:29.973-05:002012-05-18T09:18:29.973-05:00Fantastic picture!
