Elizabeth Taillon:  

. Then I quit, got a full-time job and moved into my first apartment. I have since taken a couple of classes part-time (in 95/96, 98, 03) and may even have enough credits to become a junior now. Unfortunately, those credits don't include freshman english or required liberal studies type courses. Took plenty of computer classes, of course. :D I finally decided to try a technical school and got a programming diploma from Chubb in '99, which led to my current job. :) As for college 'memories', let's just say that I discovered my deep and abiding interest in Mt. Dew and the wonderful stress-reduction properties of Disney movies & coloring books during those first three semesters. ;) Workplace After 8 years as a glorified-cashier/pharmacy tech in retail pharmacies, I finally got my first 'real job', and it actually pays a living wage! :) Now I write and maintain mainframe computer programs for the provider systems and application security teams of a large health insurance company. The location I'm at is a fairly relaxed environment (not too corporate/political), I like most of my co-workers and everyone has a good sense of humor (if we couldn't laugh...). Of course the projects keep getting bigger and the deadlines shorter. :p But, hey, I'm getting paid to play with computers; what could be better? :D
