Sally's Story
Life
I have 3 wonderful daughters, 1 grandson & 2 granddaughters in FL and 4 grandsons, 1 granddaughter here in MA. Grandkids age range is 22 - 9, where did the time go! It's tough being a long distance Grandma. Being "Grandmabates" (yes, they think it's all one word) is the most wonderful role in the world! I have 2 M.Ed, which educated me out of the job market. I was with Fidelity Investments for 11 yrs, working for their Pension Outsourcing division in several positions. At times, 4 of those positions were outsourced to India but I was always able to hop into other positions. In Feb 2009, my luck ran out and I was part of a Reduction in Force. It was a grand ride and certainly much easier than teaching computer classes to 625 children a week...LOL. Plus with Fidelity, I was able to travel while they paid for it. :) I spent my 50th birthday...Expand for more
in India in Nov / Dec 03 while there to train offshore associates for 6 weeks. I was treated to a traditional birthday celebration of having cake and frosting smeared all over my face. It was actually quite fun & funny!! I wouldn't go there for a vacation, but it was such an interesting country with wonderful people (!) that I'm glad to have had the experience. 18 years later and I'm still in contact with a few of them. I've also been to Toronto as a mentor, which is a very modern city. Some have compared it to Boston, but it doesn't have the mix of old and new that Boston has. In Aug 08, went on a cruise to Alaska, what an absolutely beautiful place!!!! There are no words to describe it, the highlight being the Hubbard Glacier. 4 yrs after RIF from Fidelity, I retired on SS disability and am now fully retired. Life is nice & easy these days.
