Alana's Story
Life
Divorced after a great 19 year marriage, still in Anchorage,Alaska. One son that is 10 years old. I work in a small office and have a great boss. Wearing jeans and casual wear to work is awesome! I really use all that math and writing we dreaded learning in school...so tell your kids to pay attention...we really do need it. Currently I work with our contracts for big oil (BP, ConocoPhillips) and manage accounts for all the subcontractors.
My mom and dad still live here in Anchorage. I still run into the Dimond High School folks around town. Amazing how small this town really is!
College
Loved college at UAA. I was working full time and doing really good with a 4.0 GPA....and then I had a hard time staying awake and keeping interested. I thought I was sick with the flu...but...the stork was coming and I found out we were going to have a baby. Never did go back and wished I would have, but today I would not trade my life for anything. I made it two years...I guess that is at least a taste.
Workplace
I've had a f...Expand for more
ew interesting jobs, few fun ones, one really stinky one and now one that finally pays well and includes the greatest boss in the world. For many years I worked at Fred Meyers around town. It was fun to run into many folks, very fun with great people and lots of excercise. I made many friends there that I still have in my life. Then I went to work for National Bank of Alaska/Northland Credit Division in town. That was interesting. We called it last chance finance, and I worked collections on 30+ day accounts. I learned SO much about finance and what to do to stay out of financial ruin...amazing how some just don't care about their bills. I got tired of that about the time my son came along so took a year off. Now I work at Alaska Valve & Fitting in Anchorage. We sell stainless steel valves, fittings and other items to the slope and utilities statewide. Soon we are setting up a shop in Sakhalin Russia...so maybe one day I will get to travel there to set up shop and see a different part of the world. My passport is ready!
