Elayne Glantzberg:  

he last guy I dated before I started dating my husband. Or the choir trip to LA, the alcohol that got smuggled off the plane, staying in host homes, Mr. J... Who could forget the Secret Service getting called during the first week of TAMS? Lots of geeks, lots of toys, very little common sense. But we got away with a lot, didn't we? I know I did. What do you expect with a Director of Residential Life who talks to the squirrels outside her window? I ended up getting my high school diploma from Little Rock Central High, while we waited for Brian to finish his job training there. I never did finish college. I made a few abortive attempts, but frankly, I haven't needed a degree for anything I've done yet. Not to mention that I haven't been all that impressed with some of the college graduates I and my husband have worked with! It's a piece of paper. When I need it, I'll go get it. In the meantime, I'm busy with life. Workplace I've done lots of things. I've been an data entry clerk, an administrative assistant, a garden-variety secretary, a patent and trademark secretary, a network administrator, a computer programmer, a systems engineer, a piano teacher, a singer in a swing band, a professional pianist, a cold caller, an auditor, an Avon lady, a Mary Kay lady, a karaoke DJ, a racetrack bet attendant, and a seamstress. I might have forgotten a couple in there. I still think karaoke DJ was the best job I ever had. You get to watch people make idiots out of themselves, occasionally sing, play with electronic equipment, get free drinks...and you get paid!
