On Collections

 

Above is a quick video log about creating collections.  I can see how so many people get addicted to vlogging. It's  quicker than writing. It's instant.  Y'all, I just may make this a vlog if I can figure out the best quality vid with the quickest upload.

I hesitate to vlog because I'm protective of my image on these mean Internet streets. I'm not a celebrity or anyone well known. In fact, most of this blog's followers know my government name. I just haven't decided if I will return to the field of education.  Since I was in admin positions, it was important for me to portray a bit of a reserved persona.  I'm nothing of the sort. 

Still, we judge and are judged by our presentation.  I dont' want to mix up vizionheiry with my professional name.  When an employer searches for me, I don't want them to assess my enduring love for Michael Jackson  and overstanning for Real Housewives of Atlanta with my ability to complete a work task. Yet this happens.

Since I've had to terminate an employee for their virtual presentation, I know just what employers do.  Oh, and though it is against the Employment Non-discrimination Act, recruiters still Google you and try to find various stats about you: age, ethnicity, location, interests, etc.

I've allowed my personal life to overcome my discipline for writing.  I haven't been writing. I failed at #novpad as you can see below (Onward to April's NaPoWriMo).

In good news, I did have two poems accepted to Red Lion Square. The show hasn't aired yet. I'll post it when it does!
