BLOGLIKECRAZY 2016 DAY 28: #Faye's Work Life / #The Sewing Gourmet...

...we had our annual pre-Thanksgiving Luncheon at school the Wednesday before break.  Everyone brought a dish and it was WONDERFUL as we took time to fellowship and give thanks for our wonderful Career Academy!  The real clincher though was on Thursday,  the day after, when our illustrious leader and Principal, Mrs. Phelps made use of Wednesday's leftovers to make gourmet paninis for us all. 

Nothing makes you feel more appreciated than a leader who takes time to make delicious sandwiches for her faculty and staff.  Mrs. Phelps, a former Home Economics teacher, really did it up for us. Did I ever tell you that I once dreamed of becoming a Home Ec teacher??? We are THANKFUL to have such a wonderful principal!

That tasty panini lunch was an instant hit with me.  I immediately bookmarked it under EASY DINNER IDEAS!  A quick after work stop by the grocer deli to pick up a few items yielded a tasty and quick dinner for me.  Quick dinners = more time for blogging and maybe a little sewing.

BLOGLIKECRAZY 2016 DAY 3: #Faye's Work Life...

...can you find Waldo, I mean Faye?

Once or twice a year we take group pictures at work.  Today we all dressed up in our new school shirts and smiled for the camera.  I promise you that I was smiling. Why is it that I always get hidden in the pictures?

As many of you know, I am employed by Central Georgia Technical College (CGTC) as a Cosmetology Instructor.  CGTC, is Georgia's the second largest Technical College (based on the area we serve).   The College operates and maintains approximately one million square feet of existing facilities across its eleven-county service area.  CGTC also has the State's largest Move On When Ready (MOWR) enrollment.  Really, it is a great place to work that has afforded me many opportunities for growth.

In 2014, I was named Georgia's Dual Enrollment (now MOWR) Instructor of the Year; a great honor!  The following year our Computer Repair Instructor received the same award. It was a wonderful expression of the College and Career Academy we are associated with.

Through employment with the College I am based at my county's only Career Academy.  Houston County Career Academy, "Houston County's Best Kept Secret" was recently named the Lieutenant Governor's 2015 Career Academy of the year. 

My program, (one of six College programs at the Career Academy - soon to be more), has sixty-six (10th-12th grade) students; all girls this year but occasionally there are a few boys as well.  Students who remain in the program a full two years earn 21 college credits, and complete 7 Cosmetology courses.  The program is a wonderful jump start on a career in Cosmetology.

So that's a little peek into my work life (you already know I sew by night).  It's hard not to let bits and pieces of it show up on my blog from time to time.  After all it's where I get to wear all my makes...
