baby i'm a star...


it was owen's turn this week to be his kindergarten's class "star-of-the-week" and as such, i had the distinct honor of appearing in his class today as his "special person". i took some photo's (see above) and was introduced to his class, who then proceeded to grill me for several minutes with questions such as "how old are you", "what is your favorite food", and "when is your birthday", ect. despite my lack of preparation, i feel pretty good about the interview. i was asked "what do you do?" by the teacher, which i interpreted to mean "where are you employed" to which i responded something about working with computers and networks in a big office building. that was met with a chorus of "ooh's" and "ahhhhs" by the kids and they stared in wide-eyed disbelief as i broke down the steps to efficent break\fix, pc reimaging, inventory, project management, and procurement techniques. i brought in a notebook and gave a brief slide show of some pictures of owen we had taken during his star week, which went well save for the couple of fingerprint smudges i'll have to clean from 5 and 6 year olds pointing their fingers on my display screen. make no mistake though, this week and day was all about owen, who is always my star.
