As I said
before in my first post, I am a college student. A college student at almost 40…what was I
thinking? I will earn an A.S. degree in Web Technology. It will take me longer than two years to
achieve this as I do have a full time job also but I will not give up. School starts today. I am taking two online classes this semester,
Introduction to Computer Technology and College Composition. I am not concerned about the Computer Tech
class at all however the College Comp has me a little anxious. The book for that class is titled “The Pop Culture
Zone: Writing Critically about Popular Culture”. WHAT?
I have no interest in doing that at all but it is a class that I HAVE to
take so I will try my best to give it my all.
We will see what happens with that…
I have
been at my job for almost 14 years. I
have been promoted 4 times during that time.
As of right now my title is “Information Specialist”. I am the webmaster, event coordinator, public
relations and a lot of other things including washing dishes if that needs to
be done. I really enjoy my job. I get to show my creative side. I like most
of the people that I work with and I am known as the comic relief/counselor,
I take that position serious. My co-workers know that they can bitch or
gossip with me and it will never, ever go outside of my office. Most days, we have a good time.
Our
office is somewhat offset right now. One
of my co-workers and dear friends has been diagnosed with a rare type of
cancer. She is 36 years old and has
cancer in her adrenal gland, left ovaries, left lung, intestines and was just
told she has an inoperable tumor on the left ventricle of her heart. We are all broken hearted over this. She hasn’t been able to work since January of
this year. I miss her. I miss her coming into my cubicle and
propping her feet up on the corner of my desk and saying; “Want a potted meat
sandwich?” Oh how I love her. Her presence is missed in this office. And with that…I will close.
Hugs,
Char~
