I am trying to make a master slide for this presentation and I have to logo and it is showing up, but I also want the title of the presentation to show up on each slide after the Title slide and I cannot figure it out.

and posting made it happen - I figured it out.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Go msbelle!

I got a big tedious thing dumped in my lap today and I can just about see the end of it but I so need to take a break. Maybe a quick walk...

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Gud, I can see why you'd consider newer cars at this point. For what it's worth, I've been pretty happy with my Subaru Impreza.

The former candidates of color who I'd like to see as VP are both senators (Harris and Booker), and we really shouldn't lose Dem senate seats. But I'm sure there are people who didn't run who could serve.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Tomorrow we head up to Boston for Boskone. We're taking the train, which will be an adventure with Mr. S.

I'd like Castro.

What is even happening?

Me too, msbelle.

It's a weird winter here, Sheryl. A quick glance at the forecast makes it look like both the coldest and sunniest day. I hope you have a good time.

Thrive to spite them

I do not know what was in the air today bit this afternoon the customers were just...argh! This woman had stuff that before the discounts was like nearly $180 and then I told her it was $108 and sh said " you haven't applied the discounts yet " so I showed her the screen."I don't think that is right". So I explained it to her except I she didn't understand. So I rerang everything and did it step by step and she wasn't convinced it was right but since she saw me do everything it had to be right.

And then someone wanted to know why another store had more of a clearance item than we did. And just stuff like that all day. And the woman who was mad because she didn't have a receipt, paid in cash and I wouldn't give her cash back.

Plus it's been warm and muggy outside and so it's been super warm in my corner of the store and I think the air circulation problem has gotten worse.

I actually like Steyer , not as a Presidential candidate, but I wish he would focus on a local office or organizing to help candidates or something.

Or I may have heard way too many of his ads.

I really, really like Castro and I would have happily voted for him. I really hope he is able to build on this and grow as a politician and run again.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Msbelle- sorry if I abandoned you mid PowerPoint- I was doing classroom work all day and couldn't sit at a computer.

I have the weirdest job. Right now I am doing a lot of supporting active learning in the classroom (rather then lecture). So being in the classroom, and helping the professor divide people into groups, and walk around and facilitate and help with the technology if people have trouble learning it. I really like this, so I hope I can do more of it!

Also, I have been on Facebook for five minutes, and I have made four condolence comments (3 pet and 1 friend), plus Connie Neil's Birthday , plus the anniversary of (can't remember her board name, but do not want to Dox her)'s husband's traumatic death. Seriously heartbreaking social media.

no worries - the PP will be there tomorrow. and the next day and the next day.

pulling the policy into well worded bullet points is my biggest struggle now - that and deciding if the way they divided up in the policy is really the best way to present it.
