I'm currently running a welfare-to-work job training program. The program has a 50% no show rate, and most folks come in kicking and screaming. I've found that many people who are mandated to do something, even if it's good for them and will help them earn more money, don't wanna. But the people who become engaged in the program and complete it are making major life changes, and I find working with them very gratifying.

Before that I coordinated a Career Resource Center. Resume writing, assisting with job search, conducting mock interviews, etc. I love helping people go to work.

For fun: playing hammered dulcimer/recorder mostly Celtic music, writing, spending time with family and friends, helping local folk music society put on contra dances (begging callers and musicians to come to this remote part of the state for very little money but lots of hospitality and fun), going to the gym, visiting Mudcat but posting very rarely.
