"I found THIS in your f*ing computer!"
Tim Levash is our secret weapon, and has literally been there from the very beginning.
Tim has installed or maintained every computer and network we’ve had, and taught me just about everything I know about computers.
Every six months or so he comes in and tells me that I need to upgrade something, and every time I do what he tells me to do, my system runs better. He answers all my stupid questions and keeps me informed. Read the rest of this entry
Today I was the guest speaker at Lompoc High School’s ‘Jump Start’ Program. I gave a 30 minute presentation for two classes on how I became a business owner, my education background (lack of), and what the heck I do, day to day. I think I gave a much better presentation for the second class, as I had developed better plan for what to say. (Is there anything worse than a kid yawning while you talk about your love of music?!)
I think 9th grade is a little young to discuss career goals, most of the kids seemed fairly checked-out. But at that age you’re really only thinking as far ahead as the next period.
I was surprised to see Kim, the bass player for the band Longrider, who was there assisting a student in a wheelchair.
Thanks to LHS, Sherry Johnson, and Sue Coupland for having me.
