DeVry Holiday Lunch

Recently I posted on my Facebook status,

that my company holiday party would be a potluck luncheon.

I think my post came over as negative, not that I was disappointed

that we were not going to a restaurant or some activity to

celebrate the season, it was because the mood in

the office had taken on a very somber atmosphere.

I wasn't sure if this lunch would be a happy one?

But thanks to Sarah, who is positive and

a happy person, our luncheon outcome was successful.

Sarah is our campus Career Service Director,

she is the one who helps students find

a job in this "hard to find a job" environment.

Here is the set up of our lunch.

Appetizers, salads, potatoes, ham, roasted chicken, desserts.

Can you tell by this picture the

different personality types I work with?

Here is the Sandy, Utah DeVry University Staff (minus one).

HaPpY Holidays!!

A week in Time

Last week I traveled to Chicago, IL to do a 5 day training

for my position at DeVry University.

I spent 5 days training with 17 other OSC's at

DeVry's home office

in Oak Brook IL.

It was a week to remember...

Food:

This is deep dish pizza

Train Ride:

..into "Downtown"

Fun Times:

..at Navy Pier

Learning:

Fellow OSC (operations support coordinator's)

from all over the country. aka- "the learning" environment.

Beautiful home office entrance

Graduation certification

My Second Family

As you know, I am now working at DeVry University

in Salt Lake City.

I tell myself everyday that I can keep up and be totally focused at

what my new responibilities require of me.

The commute to The SL Valley is almost serene.

What I mean, is that it is a time

for me to reflect on the day,

listen to NPR, call friends and family (yes I wear an ear piece!)

When I return home from a "hard day at work" the swede has dinner

ready for me and Dallas.

(I will miss this when he starts back on his travel schedule.)

This is really why I am posting today because

this is my "Second Family", people that I spend a lot

of time with Monday - Friday.
