Welcome to the illustrious home page of Liesl K. McCord. Well,
perhaps not quite illustrious, but give me a break, I'm new at all this! And as
they say:
Anyway, I figured out, all by myself mind you, that in this day and age, it
seems virtually necessary for every person in the world to have his or her own
webpage just chocked full random, useless information that only your parents,
significant others, and enemies will read. So, to keep up with the Jones',
Welcome aboard. Perhaps you'll find some tiny fact, picture, or typo that will
totally enlighten, or at least, brighten your day.
I'm lost. I've gone to look for myself. If I should return before I get
back, please ask me to wait. Until then, you can probably find me by looking
here. . .
Goto "I Don't Get It!"
To continue with the mindless drivel, just a little about myself to get things
moving right along. I am currently a student at Tennessee Technological
University in Cookeville, Tennessee[B, majoring in Accounting and hoping to
eventually get my CPA (Certified Public Accountant) and my CIA (Certified
Internal Auditor), and maybe even before I'm 30. I live off campus here with
my brother about five miles off campus. Feel free to follow his, and others'
links to their own hompages, and blame it all on them for my interest and
participation in helpdesk and building this page!
I have worked for several hotels in the last 4 years, but I continue to be
loyal to my first, Family Inns in Alcoa, Tennessee. It was there that I
learned to love the business itself and the various tasks associated with it.
I learned the audit, how to manage, maintenace, and even housekeeping. I even
learned to appareciate the game of football there. Of course, there really
isn't much choice when it's running on 3 stations in one lobby! :) Primarily
located in the East Tennessee region, there are properties that span
as far west as Kansas City, to the south to New Orleans, north to Rome, New
York, and even to the East Coast in Roanoke, Virginia. They're great people
from a great place. Follow the Family Inns logo to their homepage!
As for my working status, I am currently employed by Alpine Lodge and Suites
here in Cookeville. Independently owned and operated by Josef and Martina
Gabriel, the Alpine is a thriving, soon to be, 88 room establishment. Follow
the link to their homepage for information, pictures, and reservations.
And finally, a few other irrelevant fact about myself, I love basketball, but
in particular, the fine men of the Kentucky Wildcats and the unbeatable Big
Orange of the Tennessee Lady Vols. Feel free to visit my own pages dedicated
to the sport, but also the links to their respective offical homepages for the
most up to date news, scores, and highlights. I also enjoy target practice
with the pistols, especially the .22's. It's a great stress reliever to fire
off a few rounds. And, as my family discovered over Christmas this year, I
love to collect children's books. Of particulary interest, the Miss Spider
series by David Kirk. The illustrations alone will fascinate and captivate.
However, my Dad found another most enjoyable book entitled Squids Will Be
Squids, Beastly Tales and Fresh Morals. Please feel free, when I have
it completed, to read some of my favorite stories from my page dedicated to Jon
Scieszka and Lane Smith. They really do have some wonderful twists on some
trite concepts.
Helpdesk.
I live with my sister, Liesl,
in a small trailer 5 miles off campus. Well, that's the bare essentials of me.
On to other things!
