I was actually thinking more about my eldest daughter who just graduated high school. How can we maximize the summer vacation and be productive?
Hubby has been coaching her. He has been supportive of her wanting to work and guiding her what to do. It’s just that, she has to do it herself, like looking for the job and applying.
He also authoritatively suggested that she has to maximize this summer vacation by learning how to use the 3 basic office tools: word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation. The MS Office may be popular but it’s almost the same with Open Office, which is free. Besides, we’re using Ubuntu.
Her father is giving her 3 hours a day just to learn. Learn how to type fast instead of just reading manga and watching videos. That will be 3 hours taken from my schedule! It’s either that or we have to buy another desktop or laptop. Although laptops can be brought anywhere, desktops are a lot cheaper…a lot bulkier, though.
She was given 2 months to get the speed of 35 words per minute, at least, at the same time knowing the ins and outs of the Office programs. It will also be a preparation for the foreseen desktop publishing business when we move to Paranaque.
