My Cold Day

I love tattoos! I do not have any, but that is not to say that I would never get one. I tend to be very indecisive on just about everything. I'll change my mind 20 times before I make a decision about something, and then later wish I had made a different choice. There is no going back when you get a tattoo. That is the part that scares me. When I do get a tattoo someday, it will be something that holds a lot of meaning to me. Perhaps a piece to memorialize a loved one, or something to remind myself of a happy time or event. Choosing is the hardest part.
Choosing what to write my essay about was very difficult as well. Naturally I am not happy with my choice, but I kind of have to go with it because I am out of time. After my adventure for the day with my dog Reba into the freezing, windy air, I finally found a boring, but suitable historic plaque. I took a ridiculous picture of myself while holding the leash attached to my overly excited dog, while the wind was blowing relentlessly. I'm sure you will all get to see this silly picture, and learn more in my essay about how I began my research. I plan to include my thoughts and feelings about today's adventures in my essay, because frankly the plaque I found was not interesting in any way. Chapter 2 talks about how to engage the audience to keep them entertained. Hopefully I will at least entertain you with my essay.

How I Communicate

        On a daily basis we all communicate in many different ways. Anything from a text message, to an email or expense report. These are just a few ways I communicate through writing. My work requires me to be able to communicate with others around me in a professional manner. I must write, and respond to emails indicating the sales and profitability of my location on a weekly basis. When redirecting bad behavior and praising good behavior in my employees, I must be able to document these encounters in a professional way. I often give important information on our services and pricing to our customers.

        Writing is most definitely a part of my day to day life. Without the skills I have, and will learn, I would not be understood quite as clearly. The level of respect I receive from others in the workplace would not be as high. The information in my reports would not be valued. On a personal level, I would be embarrassed to have others witness poor writing and grammar with my name on it. Even in a silly text message or social media post.
