Hello world, my name is Alan. I have been in the education field for over 20 years, as an instructional aide, elementary librarian, teacher on special assignment and now in educational technology. I have been with the Imperial County Office of Education for 10 years and have enjoyed (nearly) every minute of it. I have been working with the HSN project for almost 3 years now. I thoroughly enjoy this as it allows me to work heavily with videoconferencing which is my passion, I have other responsibilites but the conferencing is something that I don't think I'll ever be able to give up.
In addition to work I also officiate football, which is where the title of my blog comes from. I really enjoy officiating but it is something that takes a thick skin, because everytime you do make a call 50% of the people are happy and 50% think you stink. You can't please all the people all the time, and it is something that I take into my work. No matter what you do you can't please everyone, you just have to do what you think is in the best interest of folks and plow ahead knowing that some people arent' going to like it.
