Life We'll it's been almost 37 years since I graduated from Poco Senior Secondary. My youngest son (Phillip) had just had his grad 7 years ago (lives in Surrey, and his mom is my 2nd Ex-wife Jane Leflar, first ex-wife is Janet Child no children with Janet) Our oldest graduated a couple of years earlier and should be having or had their 10 year reunion and lives with his wife Sally in Surrey as well, they had baby three years ago so we are grandparents. We (my 3rd wife and I) bought a brand new Heritage Style House in Abbotsford September 2004 and 2 months later we got a Puppy, a Labradour Retreiver (Chocolate) she was only 7 weeks old when we got her. We named her Chocolate Chip or CC for short. Shortly after I graduated from high school I started working for CP Rail, that last for about six years (about as long as my first marriage lasted to Janet), then I worked for a Bakery Distrubution company - Gourmet Baker Distributors, that lasted for about 6 years too, shortly after this I worked for Cartage Company as an Owner Operator but this only lasted a couple of years, then for about 2-3 months I was un-employed and had no income at all, Jane was the only one bringing in a income. But luckily her Dad heard that the place he had just retired from was looking to hire some new staff who were married and had families, the last bunch of new hires had all been single, so I applied and was lucky enough to get an interview. I started the following week as a Healthcare Worker II at the Forensic Psychiatric Institute (At the end of Colony Farm Road), this was May 1990. I worked as a Healthcare Worker until 2003, when I resigned and took the Position as the FPSC Functional Application Specialist and reported to the MIS department at Riverview Hospital. A year later the MIS department at RVH was incorporated into the New PHSA IMIT division and I became a Systems Analyst for the PHSA IMIT, Clinical Application Operations, in 2012 I applied and got the position of QAC (Quality Assurance Coordinator) on the same team, after a year I was asked to file a gap on another team as one of the SA's had gone off on maternity leave and they had no one to cover her absence for a year, so I stepped up and filled the position, after the year was completed I was supposed to go back to the QAC job, but the new manager of the Cerner Operatons team new my Cerner knowledge would be better used as a member of the team so offered me the role of. Senior Business Analyst (SBA), so I accepted, I still think I have the greatest job in the world. I am glad that after 20 years I decided to go back to school and take up something that I had always been interested in - Computers and software. It was tought at first going back to school, a lot of the time I was the oldest student in the classroom, but I didn't let it bother me and managed to complete my studies and graduated from Douglas Collage and was able to land the job I had wanted for a couple of years.
