Hope all of you enjoyed our four hours together last Tuesday night as much as four hours of anything like a class on a week night could be considered enjoyable. I'm trying to kick start myself a little more on blogging since it's nothing I am used to, and I want to get the hang of it for your sakes, honestly, more than my own.
Next week, I'm heading off for one more swimming meet to end the season, a national championship down in Ft. Lauderdale, though I will be carrying my computer along to review your work during the off times. I won't be leaving before seeing you a third time, however. What it does mean is that, in addition to trying to catch up from being away for two weeks ,I also need to keep the heavy duty training up. Though on a taper as I'm on, it's not quite as much.
I found it interesting to read the textbook for tonight about the demands of business writing and look forward to talking to you about your own practices and what you might think of taking a second look at about changing them as a result of reading this material. I'm also curious as to how many of you indulge in indirect written communication and on what occasions.
I was amazed last week at the variety of communication demands that as a group you experience in your professional lives. It also gives me pause to think how the communication road just keeps getting wider while the day doesn't lengthen, though your work day, as you let us know, frequently does a lot.
One thing that we might do is consider different communications we receive as the days of our time together go by and share special ones with the class either because of their quality or lack thereof.
See you tonight!
