Mina's Story
Ahhh...the 70's. So long ago but still fresh in my mind. One of the best times was when I went to London, England with a friend who attended Midland C.I. My mom gave me permission to go, my dad was another story. Lots of arguing over that. So I arranged everything behind his back. Boy, he was mad! I didn't care because I had the best time. After Thomson, I went to work at a bank, then a hotel (sales) where I indulged in big hair, shoulder pads and stilleto heels...sigh. I loved that era. Sure beats platform shoes! Then I went to Europe because I was bored here. Upon my return, I ended up working for a lawyer then leaving after 9 years. (Lawyers are vicious!) Luckily for me, it was around the Y2K time and I ended up working in IT which allowed ...Expand for more
me to work in many industries including a year contract at a New Jersey pharma company, returning home just a few days before 9/11. I continued to work in IT in Toronto where I was downsized, right sized, outsourced, etc. I have now started my own home staging business. I got married later in life which was perfect for me because I got bored easily. If I had married earlier, I'd be married and divorced many times over I'm sure. Just call me Joan Collins.
I've travelled extensively alone and with friends. No matter what, I always had a great time.
In conclusion, I love the life I've lived and am the envy of some friends. And yes, there are some regrets but I wouldn't change a thing.
