Call Me Crazy . . .

I have had a strange thought in the past couple days. I have actually considered -- just marginally, mind you-- taking some Human Resources classes. I have come to realize that all industries have some form of human resources department that is vital to their operation. In the school district I work for, for example, the HR department makes all the hiring and firing (oops... should read "termination of contract") decisions. In doing this, they handle disputes between staff and administration, and they deliberate complaint and grievance issues from parents and students .in cases of alleged employee misconduct. In short, these individuals make decisions that have major impact on everyone in the district.

As I have contemplated possible career advancement the thought of working in this department has intrigued me.

I would love to write several more paragraphs on this subject, but my son is getting restless and will not last much longer on my lap. It's time to pack up the laptop, head out of Panera, and get home. I can almost remember a day when my time was my own.
