This is where I work. At least right now. As some of you might have read, in previous posts, I will be retiring in June. I feel conflicted about the decision to leave, but I am not sorry to be going. Before this ‘work’ I was employed by a gas and electric company, but teaching was what I always wanted to do. I got sidetracked. Never did go to college. Not til I was 47 years old. Then, due to the fine art of downsizing, and after 25 years of service, I found myself out on the street, pounding the pavement. Thanks to luck/karma/coming to my senses, I met a wonderful man who agreed to support me while I ‘went to school’. Yes. Finally. College. After much studying and babysitting, to supplement our income, I graduated COLLEGE! YAY! And due to the kindness of others, I landed a job almost immediately. Now, 10 years later, my adolescent dream winds down. For various reasons. Though I don’t plan on going for my masters – not that there’s anything wrong with that – I do plan on starting something new and different. Just don’t know what, yet.
