When I retired, I missed working as a computer trainer at the Univ. of Wisc.-Madison. I had thoroughly enjoyed teaching such courses as “Intro to MS-Word and Excel”, Email”, and “Surfing the Web.” Thus, for the first couple of years, I was at a loss as to how to fill all my leisure time.
But three years ago, when I created a website, www.FunnyPhotosContest.com I began to thoroughly enjoy every minute of my retirement. I smile every day when I receive all the funny photos contestants send me and I have had many interesting experiences. Last night as I worked on my computer, all of a sudden an instant message popped up in the lower corner of my screen, “Do you head up the contests?” What a surprise that one of my contestants had “found” and contacted me in real time. And so we “chatted” for a few minutes on the computer. He told me he enjoyed the contest and had been entering it for several years.
Many people have emailed positive comments to me about the website, but this was the first time that one of my contestants had sent me an instant message. No wonder I’m having so much fun.
