I can't live without...

My wireless mouse and keyboard

By: Trish Robertson

Being a lefty in a right-handed world, you can get accustomed to certain things like cutting with regular scissors and even learning how to bat right-handed on a softball team, but some things like controlling your mouse with your right hand is just not comfortable.

My co-workers tease me regularly because I’m constantly re-arranging my office, but it’s been since I got my new wireless mouse and keyboard last year that I’ve rearranged anything.  Having these two items allow me to place everything exactly where I need it to feel comfortable without having to run wires and cables all across my office. 

Speaking of rearranging…I think it’s due time to see how my cork board looks behind me…

Calling PR Pros!!

Have you ever considered volunteering in a leadership role for the Southwest Chapter of FPRA?  If so, this is the perfect opportunity for you, the chapter is searching for our next PR University Chair.  This position can be a single chair, or it can have two co-chairs.  PRU has been an annual event for years, so the resources and ‘blueprint’ are already in place, and previous committee members are willing to assist in the planning.  PRU chairs can also form a committee to help in the planning of this exceptional event.  This is a great opportunity to try out a leadership role for FPRA and start taking the steps to other positions in the future.  For more information about this, please contact Carla Ulakovic at carla.ulakovic@gmail.com.
