A second post tonight....

So....i just have to share part of my presentation today. The audience was 8 or so new people that have been here since Monday, all from out of state. It's a training class....so i am part of the training. I present at 2pm and have one hour. Think about it, that's at least an hour after lunch and i am between them and their next break. Sooo.... I decide to make my presentation a mix of fun and work. I call it the Numbers/Triva Game. The mortgage industry has many "numbers" as you can imagine. Many of our standard forms are known by a number, so i throw this and a few accronyms in to keep them guessing. I also mix in a few other things such as.

If you plug your nose (use your fingers Paul) and close your mouth, it is impossible to hum

What's the number 332? The number of dimples in a golf ball

118? The number of ridges in a dime.

119? The number of ridges in a quarter

7? The maximum number of times you can fold a regular size sheet of paper in half

Your forearm is exaxtly the same length as your foot. One guy was 6' 8" and he said NO WAY....he pops off his shoe and sure enough...same length.

80%? The percentage of water contained in your brain.

4? The number of knees that an elephant has.....they are the only animal with this number and also the only animal that can't jump!

467? The number of questions an average 4 year old asks in a day.

Hopefully you can have a little fun with my Trivia Game. The group of trainees did! And mixed in with mortgage stuff, they learned a lot too. And it was FUN!

Wacky Wednesday...

Damn, what a day. Am i the only one that ever says this? 3 meetings, a conference call, a presentation and a Happy Hour. Makes for a tired Pam. And one that feels guilty because i never stopped long enough to call and check on Dad. I shall call in the morning, everything else can just WAIT. Realtor emails today....would you consider selling 10 acres? I tell her to send me a drawing of the 10. Of course it includes the lake access. No dice....if i am going to sell, it all goes AND i hope to keep fishing rights. It's not like i want the mineral rights, just want to fish if i get the urge.

To Aunt Barbara, glad you, Gary, Tony and family are all okay. Tony's pictures prove they had a scary night. Hate the storms. So helpless. I remember that Mom and Dad used to load us up and drive away from the storms. Cant remember where we went, just away. I can also remember getting in a storm cellar somewhere....can remember fruit jars and spiders in there. Probably the reason i am scared of the DARK!

To Jeannine....looking forward to Easter. Sure do miss Douglas and Bobbie.....they will be smiling down upon us, i am sure. Bobbie might even have a twinkle in her eye if it just happens to be freezing cold that day.....oh how i remember...

One day closer to Friday - check.

Love to all,
Pam
