First Day at PSO

Today was the 1st day of PSO. Mostly, we had meetings and filled out paperwork. It was nice to discover that not everyone was right out of college. A few of us had several years of work under our belts. Even my roommate had years of experience in teaching and photojournalism.

Finally enjoying updating database

We lost the 2 workers, so I've been going through the service listings one by one, checking them to make sure the links work, adding links if none exist. I've been enjoying the internet searches connected with this task and have been learning about all the resources available.
