My new job

A couple of folks have asked what my new job is. I will be taking over as the Director of Admissions at Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) on Oct. 16th. Currently I serve as Assitant Director at Portland State University.

As the director, I will lead the admissions team towards meeting the enrollment goals that have been set. PNCA has a very ambitious goal for enrollment growth. They hope to grow by about 40% in the next 3 years. I will have 3 admissions counselors that will work for me. Although the work to grow will be shared by the entire institution, the four of us (me and the counselors) will lead that charge with me taking the absolute lead. It is a lot of pressure but will be a great step in my professional growth.

If you want to check out PNCA and see what they are all about, their web address is www.pnca.edu. It is a great little institution that has a lot going for it.

OK, what's a blog? How do you get one? How do you feel when you get one? Does it hurt? How does one use the word -- can you get blogged or what? Also, I don't have a personal profile. So here are my specs. I am 59 or 60 years old (ask aunt Luci for accuracy). I'm very handsome. I'm smart. I am sensitive, I like long walks on the beach and discussing feelings, washing dishes and house work, toffu, and Russian girls. Woops! I forgot what site I was on. I am 6'2" and I weigh 250 lbs.. I smell good and I sound great. My skin is sort of tan on the arms but sometimes red. I have half a brain. Other than that, I am normal. Yours truly, SAS

JR, congratulations - you will do great I am sure!

OK, that's enough about you... Now what's up with this SAS guy? Is he a blogger now? How can one become a blogger? It also appears that Claudia is a blogger! How did that happen? I feel totally left out :(

And Jessie! Look at you - you were up and about at 11:32 a.m.! Wow! What day was that? Are you logging on to unauthorized internet places from work? If that was a weekend, congratulations!

Cute picture of Jessie and Emma... Uhoh, I think I was supposed to post that somewhere else.

Blog it anyway!
Love you all,
little luci (in name only)

Luci...I think you can sign up to become a blogger and be super cool like SAS. In the "Choose an identity" section beflow "Leave your comment" there is sign up. It says "No Blogger account? Sign up here". You just need to fill out some junk and then you are a blogger!! Then you don't have to be anonymous.
