Sharon's Story
Life
Just got back from a week long visit to good old RI. I am SO GLAD TO BE BACK IN CALI! Now...if I could just get Vikki and Kathi out here....
School
High school crushes...man oh man there are still names that stick in my head to this very day............<please forgive any misspellings...they are, of course, unintentional>:
Marco Palumbo
Michael Ranucci (I can still smell the Chaz cologne on his scarf)
Ed Rush
John Tuffts (don't tell Kathi!)
and of course....the infamous....Danny McElroy (the Red Coats are coming!)
College
College is soooooo wasted on the young. Graduated uneventfully from NEIT with a degree in Computer Programming...then, just before moving to CA, CCRI in Accounting....hate both professions (BORING!! WHAT WAS I THINKING??!!).
I'm back in school again...at CalState San Bernardino...working on a degree in Administration with a concentration in Info Tech. Loving the "grown up" learning experience. I'm ext...Expand for more
remely proud of the fact that I'm maintaining a 3.8 GPA while working full time, attending classes 4 nights/week, maintaining a "household" (my girl is 22 now and lives with her boyfriend but I've still got my 16yr old boy at home with me--and I use the term "boy" loosely as he's now 6'5" and just over 300lbs!), AND, partying like a Rock Star :-)
Workplace
I've pretty much been working for Fleetwood Enterprises since I moved to CA in 1996 (I left for a year and a half when they closed down my plant...but returned to work in the Corporate Offices as soon as the opportunity arose). I've now secured a nice "cushy" position (no one really knows what I do so there's no pressure to get it done...and I've got the answers to everyones questions so they all think I'm brilliant)...in the Centralized Purchasing Department. I work directly with the PMs and the APMs at our 20+ housing plants across the country. I'm truly blessed to be where I am right now.
