I love my job! OPP3

It's hard for me to find things I don't like about working with students. They make me laugh, they make me want to cry (some of them have unfortunate circumstances) and they definitely keep me on my toes. It's also hard for me to find things I don't like about my co-workers. I work in a building that is happy, collaborative and caring. For example our librarian (who is amazing BTW) has a daughter who was in a very serious car accident last May. She has been in and out of surgeries, therapies and everything else and still remains in critical condition, unable to speak or walk and needs constant care. The staff rallied together in the beginning, sending cards, flowers, prayers and anything else needed. We continued our support by wearing our #teamErin (her daughter's name is Erin) shirts today to honor her and her fight. The proceeds from the tshirt sales went to the family to help with medical costs. I am so proud to be part of a team that is always working together to make the world a better place!

Graphics Assignment

Hi everyone! I have been exploring some of the online tools out there available for photo editing. One site that I found to be really cool, but not super user friendly, in my opinion, is pixlr.com It is very much for those who know Photoshop and its layering and tools capabilities. But after playing around with it a bit I was able to showcase some of it's features. As you can see I have heavily edited one of these photos. The top one is the one I edited, the bottom one is the original. Pretty cool, huh?!
