Overcoming technosauritis

I am 43.  I have had many different jobs and even careers since I started working.  I remember as  a child someone telling me that people were going to be expected to go through 4-10 career changes in their lifetimes.  I didn’t understand it then, but I understand it now.

  1.  Crafty entrepreneur making and selling pot-pourri rings
  2. Babysitter (with business cards even!)
  3. Zellers bagging clerk
  4. Drycleaner’s minion
  5. Grocery store clerk
  6. Waitress
  7. Cook
  8. Jewellery business owner
  9. Bartender
  10. Computer designer and network consultant
  11. Massage therapist
  12. Home alarm security specialist sales agent
  13. Alarm installer
  14. International sales trainer
  15. Future Shop computer sales geek
  16. Food packing plant first aid attendant
  17. Gel nail artist
  18. EMR … EMT…. and most recently for the past decade + Paramedic.

This doesn’t even include being a Mom!

Now, I am entering the writing phase of my career while I still practice being a Death Fighter.  (Fire fighter, crime fighter….Paramedics should be called death fighters, not Ambulance drivers !!!)

The launching of this site now has me learning a whole new language and feeling like a technosaur.  I am hoping my friend Dara who was the tipping point is able to survive the onslaught of questions as I fumble my way through this.

I have had a very productive personal day, and I am physically spent, but still am unwilling to go to bed as I try and circumnavigate the behind the scenes of this webpage so I may put my thoughts out there for the world.

Like I said before, the journey is in the doing.  Ready, fire, aim.
