Learning Habits

Using technology has always been easy for me. I started using computers with a Mac in 1983. The library I worked for started using personal computers in the mid-eighties before the Internet was quite so ubiquitous. I was one two staff members exempted from training on word processing when supervisors were assigned personal computers. I later taught myself to program on DBase II+ to make my job serials librarian easier.

Viewing problems as challenges is the hardest for me to do. As I get older I would much rather find someone with the skills to solve the problem quickly than to take the time to do it myself, particularly if I don't have the skills myself. Maybe I'm getting lazier I get older. (Don't say anything, Faye!)
