Out in the Field

Jill needed to earn more money.  But instead of looking to trade in one office job for another, she was giviing serious thought about ways to earn out in the field, ha.

Much of her management training had come in-house, ha, from her father.


She knew that a powerful manager could have subordiantes who accomplish all sorts of things that said manager didn't quite understand and didn't quite NEED to understand, let alone micromanage.


She had always brought a similar attitude to her teaching practice.  She had students that she had coached to riding levels she would never reach.  But she had the eye to analyze performance and the ability to motivate that helped improve even the most talented horse and rider teams...


the head instructor with the attitude of withholding secrets, so as to protect their "superior" status was one she was wondering just how to disagree with ha.

A Derby Magic Hat?

Jill was sweaty and grubby and without a stitch of makeup.  She enjoyed weather so hot that she would forget about appearance entirely, and just relax in the heat... On a total whim walking past the fancy hat shoppe, she had tried one on and the clerk snapped her picture, in her non glamourous but dress up condition, ha...

but its true the hat turned out to be magical as many friends on facebook had sent messages about how lovely she looked in it, ha.
