Today was an eventful day at the office. The new Director came to the center for his second visit since starting his position as Area Director for my department/division. The office has been buzzing with excitement about his arrival. There were many meetings for him to attend. I was part of a focus group meeting with him and during our discussion I casually mentioned my blog. To my surprise he appeared to be interested. As I listened to him speak I realized that he is genuinely interested in people.
When I invited him to stop by my desk to take a look at my blog, he accepted. Two hours later he was pulling up a chair listening to me ramble about
Pretty Is.
Typically I will write about family, friends, work, recipes, and random events. S0 I selected a few samples of posts to provide a summary of what my blog is all about.
Since it was on my mind, I shared the post honoring my parent’s anniversary.
One interesting fact that I learned was that his parents were also married in August 1965, on the 1st.
My post about Wendy is a favorite that I shared with him.
He was impressed with Wendy’s progress and offered her his congratulations.
Because I sometimes include favorite recipes (sometimes regarded as food experiments), I shared my post of the pecan pie bars I make every year for my Sunday Before Thanksgiving Dinner.
St. Augustine is a favorite place to go for an afternoon outing. That said, I shared one of my posts about a visit to the nations oldest city.
He mentioned an interest in visiting St. Augustine and possibly visiting one of the shops mentioned in my Nighttime Browsing post. After my blog overview we briefly discussed higher education, tuition reimbursement, and what a happy time it is to finally graduate!
My takeaway from the brief visit with our new director was “what a great person!” A man in charge who is interested in the lives of the people who work for him.
Glad to Know You Mike!
