Last week, I blogged about what to do if you missed Administrative Professionals Week. This week, I’d thought I’d be more proactive and remind you in advance of another important day…Mother’s Day. Every year, my husband and I search and rack our brains trying to come up with ANYTHING that we can get our mothers.
They have both been blessed and have everything they need. When you ask them what they would like, wish for, or need, they just answer, “I have everything I need…just get me a card.” What do you give the mother who has everything?? My husband suggests different gift cards each year, but I keep trying to come up with something creative. Why do I do that to myself?
This year, we are going to give our moms some training. Why have I not thought of this before?! Since we are both pretty proficient in different computer software, it works out really well for us. If you are scrambling, trying to come up with something different for your mom or special woman in your life, give your mom a training session.
My mom and mother-in-law have really become interested in imaging software and pictures of all the grandkids. I think some Adobe Photoshop or scanning software training would be something they would really appreciate. Just last month, I helped out a friend to understand how to scan in pictures. My friend did not even know that she could change the settings when she scanned in pictures to get the best image possible. At Versitas, we do training on Adobe web technology and desktop publishing applications, like Photoshop and others.
I think I failed mention that my friend was over 80 years old. You are never too old to learn and enjoy the fun of using the great computer software w e have available to us. Yes, investing in software training may be more than you have budgeted, but you could always go together with other family members or give the gift as a Mother’s day, birthday, and Christmas gift combined.
So, really make your mom or grandmother’s day and help them learn more about their computer software for Mother’s day!
Last week was Administrative Professionals week. I baked some cookies and brought them in on Wednesday. Everyone I encountered said the same thing, “Administrative Professionals week is this week??” Even though Administrative Professionals Week is one of the largest workplace observances, I’m guessing that many other people forgot, too.
