Got full custody of her making me a single Dad. Was enticed to go to Ryan Bus. Systems in Ct.in 1990.Stayed there from 90 to 2002.Became ill enough to lose my job. Got a job thru Monster for a "Private Contract Armed Federal Security Officer" Military background got me the job.It's funny,my resume was Copiers, faxes,computer certs-Comp Tia A+ and Network+.but my cover letter got the job for me. They wanted me to leave in 2 days said I needed a week to inform wife(remarried in 97)and family because the job was in La.Arrived in Baton Rouge Oct 9th. Signed 90 day contract but stayed 4.5 month...Expand for more
s.Came home March 4th 06.What a life changing experience.Your sympathy level for people complaining about their wants and problems paled to the suffering the Katrina and Rita people endured. My last Gig was being part of a 5 person team to provide Security for a Cruise Ship named the Scotia Prince. in St. Bernard Parish. I lived with Katrina people for 6 weeks. I would never ask about Katina but you warm up to some people after awhile and they shared their stories. It changed my views forever. We had always 600-800 people onboard.Enough of that job, I could go on forever.Returned home and found a crap job for awhile and met a copier tech there that got me back into Multi Function Products (copiers on steroids}.Very high end products.Life is cyclical and been riding the wave. Bought a house in 97 in Broad Brook Ct.6 acres of woods surround the house making it feel like a secluded area in VT. Now they are tearing everything down to develope high end homes for wealthy people that work in Hartford or Springfield Mass.May sell house and find another rural home. Sorry for the length but 38 years is a long time and I left alot out. John Hesse
