Les bureaux d'études, avant la généralisation des ordinateurs et de la CAO (1982) // Engineering Design Department, before the widespread use of computers and CAD software (1982)
So today's photo was actually taken today. Go figure. LOL. I decided to show you all where I spend 8 hours of my day. This is my desk. And yes I had to sit at it all day today rather than be at home where I have been for the past 11 days. I want to go back on break. :-(
I work for the Lucas County Board of Developmental Disabilities, or LCBDD, in the transportation department. We transport Mentally Retarded and Developmentally Disabled to work over at Lott Industries and various other sites within Lucas County.
My job is quite fun. I get to play on the computer creating route directions to our clients homes and then to work over at Lott Industries. Every once in a while, *rolls eyes because it used to be every day* I have to go out onto one of the buses and either drive or monitor.
Drive... Yes I said drive. I have my class B CDL (commercial driver's liscense) to drive a school bus. So I guess if I HAVE to, I can drive a school bus for a school district.
Earlier in this post, I said that I had 11 days off. Yes this is true, and no I didn't have to use any vacation time. Being a county employee that works with the MR/DD population, who are used to school breaks, allows me to have that time off PAID! Score! I rather enjoyed it, except for the fact that my mother was also home for that entire time. Ick!
I soo need to move out. I'm working on it though. [info]princesskya1 and I are saving up to buy a house together. Exciting, except for it needs to happen like yesterday. :-D
At 25, I was promoted to managing editor of publications. I was reluctant. I was inexperienced. I was intimidated. But I was also gently pushed into this role by a new supervisor who believed I could do it.
While my supervisor was supportive, he had a hands-off approach (which I appreciated later on) and there wasn’t much coaching in my new role. I felt like I was drowning in expectations, responsibilities, and assumptions that had been packaged into this position over the years. My decisions were: sink or swim.
I faked confidence in managing and running a magazine until I felt more experienced and confident. I learned the assignment and publishing process. I worked hard to build rapport with my editors, to treat each person as an individual with different strengths. I was a tough managing editor because I wanted each person to shine in their own way. I pushed them to be better.
I’ve learned faking it can work for a while. I’ve learned expertise does come with time, with effort, and with genuine forthrightness. I’ve learned getting to know people and investing time and energy into encouraging their strengths is important.
I’ve learned challenges only make me stronger, but that doesn’t make them any easier. I still carry some residual insecurity. I still feel the need to over prepare for some things, to make sure I know my stuff, to make sure people perceive me as competent and qualified.

Les offices, (1560 - 1580) étaient utilisés comme bureaux de magistrats, juges, techniciens et marchands de Florence, et furent transformés par une galerie privée pour le plaisir de la famille régnante de Florence, les Médicis, et de leurs hôtes. Outre aux peintures, aux statues, aux bijoux et aux instruments scientifiques, furent exposées aussi des armes et ceci fit de la galerie une des collections plus intéressante du monde. En 1865, les Offices devinrent un musée, et aujourd'hui les Offices sont composés de 50 salles comprenant peintures allant du 13° au 18° siècle. Parmi les plus célèbres, la célèbre « Madone sur le trône » de Giotto, la « Bataille de San Romano » de Paolo Uccello, le dittico de Piero de la Francesca « Federico de Montefeltro », « la naissance de Vénère » de Botticelli, en plus des 3 œuvres de Leonardo de Vinci, il existe une œuvre de Michelangelo, quelques unes de Raffaello et beaucoup de Tiziano et de Caravaggio. Toutes les peintures sont disposées en ordre chronologique, en sorte qu’il soit possible d’apprécier pleinement toutes les évolutions de l'art à travers les siècles.
Family remittances to Latin America and the Caribbean grew over 8% in 2017, reaching US$75 billion, according to new research by the Inter-American Dialogue. This growth is substantial and exceeds the World Bank’s forecasted 1.2% economic growth for the entire region. In terms of scale, remittances have grown nearly as much as exports from the region in 2017.
Growth in remittances is being driven by migration patterns in countries such as Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Colombia, which represent 45% of flows in remittances and experienced growth of over 10% last year. Other drivers of remittance growth include the continued demand for foreign labor in the United States economy, and to a lesser extent the dollar devaluations in countries like Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Costa Rica.
To discuss these trends, the Inter-American Dialogue is pleased to host a panel discussion on Thursday, January 25th with Manuel Orozco, Director of the Dialogue’s Migration, Remittances and Development Program, Leon Isaacs, Chief Executive Officer of Developing Markets Associates, and Paul Dwyer, Chief Executive Officer of Viamericas Corporation. The discussion will include 2017 remittance flows, 2018 prospects, and specific country case studies. It will also address the possible impact of changes in US immigration policy for remittances to the region.

I moved to a new office and did some window cleaning today. I guess this must have been the first time since the building was constructed or so.

5 students chose to work on Mahara during the project week.
Life has never been easy for miners, but conditions were especially bad in the 1800s. Hasard colliery’s first strike occurred in September of 1875. There were no unions to support the workers and, despite significant increases in profits, their wages had been cut by ten percent. A small group of men refused to go down the mine after hearing this news, and their protest quickly snowballed into a movement that armed themselves with guns and demanded that their bosses improve working conditions. This action was met with a heavy-handed response from police and public prosecutors who were backed up with cavalry and a whole infantry battalion that eventually crushed the rebellion. Whilst the strike may have failed, it did lay the groundwork for future union action and made the mine’s owners wake up to the fact that their workers tolerance for human rights infringements was limited.
modern block on what used to be the site of the old Royal Infirmary, now the Quartermile, a mix of old Victorian hospital buildings totally renovated and re-used and modern structures like this one.
Mostly offices, although at the back end it has one of those gym where they add to your embarrassment by having the running machines up against these big, plate glass windows so everyone walking past can see you (why, why, why would anyone want to exercise like that? Why would the gym do that to their clients??? Especially with a school nearby, loads of kids walking past, who wants that when sweating on a treadmill, kids pointing in at you? People pay for that???)
