Bonnie's Story
Hello all my wonderful school mates :-) This is Bonnie Lee Brooks...now living up in Ojai CA by Ventura. Lets see...After we graduated...I went to a technical school Control Data to learn keypunch and was job placed at John Sexton Foods in Compton. I learned and grew there until 1974 when I had the opportunity to get another keypunch job in Santa Barbara at the County...how lucky was I? I loved Santa Barbara...who would not... I had another job opp to learn computer operations at Infomag in Goleta in 1980. Then I jumped to Santa Barbara Research Center in Goleta 1984 and worked under several new company byouts...GM..etc.and then outsourced to Computer Sciences Corp. I was just shy of 18 years...and my had my first layoff. It happened 3 days before 9/11/2001 I then temped around until 2003 where I landed a computer op job at Kinkos in Oxnard. Then a job op opened up in San Diego with my old company CSC 2004 and I moved to San Diego. That lasted until October 2006 when they closed the site. I was blessed to have worked with a wonderful woman Cathy ...Expand for more
Moore when I was at SBRC...she asked me if I wanted to come back home and move in with her. Of course I said YES :-) I landed another job in 2007 at Pleasant Holidays in Westlake Village...that ended March 2009 with my 3rd layoff. So I attended the 6 month re-schooling through unemployment to improve my skill set. I completed MS office word, excel, access, powerpoint, accounting and quickbooks...phew... So here it is 2011 and I am still looking for permanent work.
But I have been blessed with great health and many opportunities.
I was married for 3 months just after high school. I have had several relationships but nothing permanent... No children... I was very fortunate to win a trip to Hawaii through Vons supermarket in 1994. I took my Mom and had the vacation she always intended to take. We stayed at the Waikiki Outrigger right on the beach. We went to all the gardens and beauties they had to show. It was the time of our lives. She and I were able to take many trips here as well. San Diego, Carmel, Point Lobos, Hearst Castle and Morro Bay.
