This week at Kindermusik - work - life etc.

Last night, my wife and I took my son to Kindermusik up at the local church. Michael is 14 months and we started taking him to the class last summer. Anyway back to last night. There were two other families there. One family has a 2 year boy and the other family has a 11 month girl. We were missing one family because of the stomach flu. We had a good time with Michael and working with him on focusing on the musical instruments, listening to the story, and overall listening to the music. He did pretty good considering he got pretty tired at the end.

I am trying my best not to voice my opinion about our government however I am too familiar with the "Chicago Politics" since I'm originally from Central Illinois. I am glad that some focus is going to be put on education however I feel that it is too little. Our teachers are already too overburdened with the paperwork and bureaucratic nonsense that they have to deal with along with teaching our kids.

It was a good day at work today. I was actually able to catch up with all the problem tickets and was able to complete all the work requests ahead of their due date. All of the Notes servers that I manage are working without any issues. Wow! I actually feel like something was accomplished!

Finally, I am getting caught up with all of my software training that I am doing on my free time. I am exploring Windows 7, Domino server 8.5, and able to build my test environment. My next thing is to start getting back to Photoshop and other graphic arts applications once I complete my Active Directory configuration.

  1. Matt,
    Hello! I think you and I had a class together last semester with Mr. Parke. I am glad those classes are all over!

    I have never heard of Kindermusik before, but it sounds really interesting and something very good for young children. It sounds like your little Michael really enjoys himself.

    Glad your work seems to be going good. Look forward to talking with you later.

  2. Matt,

    I also took Mr. Parke's class with you and Sarah last semester. It is good to see you both again!

    Your son seems to enjoy his visits at Kindermusik. It sounds like an excellent program for young children. Teaching children to focus and listen is best started at an early age.

    It is nice to catch up with you again! Good luck on building your test environments and best wishes for a great semester!
