Career Path.. An employment journey filled with many curves, detours, bi-ways, tunnels and quite a few potholes along the way!     Some people know exactly what they want to be when they grow up and they actually do become just that, others want to be just like Mom or Dad, as for me I never knew and stumbled along the way, trial and error brought me through a winding road of various tasks. some great adventures and always a yearning for something new.   It is easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn't . --Martin Van Buren   Your biggest opportunity probably lies under your own feet, in your current job, industry, education, experience or interests. --Brian Tracy   Two can live as cheaply as one - if they both have good jobs. --Laurence Peter

What jobs I have experienced! Oh yes I remember back to the days of working at Ponderosa when their seating appeared as long picnic tables; being employed at Sear's and scooping candy from the old glass bins; working retail sales at the Deb-Joy Shoppe in my teens, it was a cool store then; and The Rams Horn, I don't think they even exist anymore!  Also retail sales at the Village Fashion Outlet who didn't last very long.   I have bused tables, waitressed, cooked, bartended, flipped pizzas and yes I even worked up the ladder managing three restaurants all at the same time!  Talk about one crazy adventure of many sleepless nights and alot of 16 hour days.  I survived!   I worked as a receptionist for a supply house nowadays there's Office Max and Staples.  The times are a changing!  In the good ole days of A.B. Dick and E.N. Dunlap, I worked from receptionist to invoicing to bookkeeping.  I was even a secretary for the county night court; a secretary for a landfill and yes even worked for a demolition company.   I had an interesting craft excursion at Ben Franklin Crafts Store starting at the loading dock and eventually working my way out on the floor stocking shelves, creating displays and then up to buying trips with much to see and long days!  My first time on an airplane!    I worked for Readings and Greetings, a Hallmark card shop with adorable gifts and some time before that at Twice Around a unique second hand furniture shop.  Both of them no longer exist!    I have had a wide range of employment but in looking back I have to say the job I hold today is the most suited for me.  I am a church secretary, though the pay is light the rewards are great.  I love my work, my job and the people of the church.
