Sue added some info for those who haven't known her before.. And I Realized I hadn't put much of myself in here either.. So here goes;
I have been married for over 30 years to my Rick.. We met when I worked for the telephone company as what is called a "Frame Attendant".. That means I ran wires from equipment to other equipment inside the central office buildings. It was traditionally a male job and I was in the first few years of women doing this type of work.. Rick and I married, then I left when I had my daughter Amanda. I was a stay at home mom till she was in school full time. That was the best time of my life.. If I have one regret it's that I should have had more children. But Que Sera.. I adore my girl.. She is the light of my life, which I'm sure you may have noticed in my mentions of her.. Just loved being a Mommy.. Then I worked part time for the Unemployment office till she was older and my Mother moved in. Then I went full time. My mom lived with us till her death in 2003. I left the state in 2004. Way too much politics and nepotism.. Hard work had nothing to do with promotions. It had all to do with who's butt you kissed and that's never been a strong point of mine.. Eventually I wound up where I am now as a Help Desk/Assistant to the AVP and Director of Information technology. Again sort of a guys role.. Partly it's a glorified admin but I do things like create computer accounts and do minor to medium troubleshooting.. Not just PCs but Printers and other office equipment. I was always a kind of hands on gal.. Just got a new machine at work and it's a VM or Virtual machine. That means it's not a real computer but based in "the cloud" so to speak.. It gives us the ability to take all our settings and programs to any desktop with a VM. It's OK going to take some getting used to. Haven't decided for or against yet..
My husband Rick is retired and has been for 4 years. Some of you know that he almost died just a little less than 2 years ago of congestive heart failure. Some stupid virus attacked his heart and nearly took him out. That was a bad time.. But he was very healthy having always worked to keep in shape and has basically gotten back to normal. Although he will always be on medication you would never know how sick he'd been. I love spending time with him and my daughter. Love my entire estended family too but myself, my Rick and Amanda we are sort of a unit. A Very, very tight unit. I never take kindly to anyone who doesn't do right or says the wrong thing to mine.. You'll be my enemy for life should you hurt my girl or my Rick..
My Amanda was engaged to be married last year. She was smart tho and broke the engagement. We all knew it was the right thing to do for her. But it took her a bit as she didn't want to hurt him. He was just the wrong guy for her. Nice, but not right. Better she did that before. I was glad she realized it in time..
Another thing about me, I like to be silly and I love to tease.. Not the level Max teases maybe but I'll throw a wing in there every now and again.. And every now and again I put the music on and dance around the house. That is one of my ideas of fun. Besides reading or riding the motorcycle with my husband. I passenger only but I passenger very well! And we have a chocolate lab named Rocco that we adopted 5 years ago. My Rick loves him. Myself I'm not much of an animal person. Would never hurt one but just not that way. Although I know most of you are it's not my thing.. That's about it. Not very exciting. But now you knowa little bit more about what makes me tick...
