Edward's Story
Life
After wasting my younger days in Richmond (I had no clue back then), I moved to D.C. where I started a career in the administrative field. I met the woman of my dreams in this (and any other) lifetime, and was employed at the National Veterans Legal Services Program (a non-profit that sues the V.A. & B.V.A. for the rights of veterans).
Following D.C. my wife and I moved to Silver Spring, where I later worked as an Office Administrator for a small company called TTSS Interactive Products (they produce touchscreen & wayfinding technologies for a variety of uses). I worked there for over four years before my wife convinced me to move back to Richmond to be with family (not necessarily my family - they just came ready made with the territory - but my wife's sister, her husband & our nephew).
I'm finding Richmond to be the bane of employment, and have been temping since we moved in late 2002, but I hope to soon find a place with decent wages. The reason being my wife & I purchased a home in the West End earlier this year.
A homebody by nature (there's not much this side of museums, theater, or opera that I'd rather do than watch the Science Channel, a forensics show, or DEAD LIKE ME on Showtime), I'm happily surprised to find I'm enjoying yard/house work. It's very satisfying.
To find out anything more, you'll just have to contact me. :^]
School
What to say about early (grade & middle school combined at St. Paul's Catholic School) and high school (Henrico High)...???
Probably the least said, the better.
I don't remember exactly who I was back then, anyway.
It's likely less incriminating that way, too...
College
My first attempt at college w...Expand for more
as at Mount Saint Mary's from 1989 through 1990. I won't kid you. Being a 21 year old Freshman with no clue as to what I wanted out of life was a dangerous combination. I later started going to the University of Maryland for a certificate in Graphics Design & Web Development (I had a 4.0 average for the first time in my life, so I was doing something right for a change), but I abandoned that in the move to Richmond my wife & I agreed to.
I hope to still pursue graphics design, among other things, now that I have a much clearer vision of what I want out of life...and myself.
Go figure on why it took so long...!
Workplace
I've had several careers.
I once worked as a copier tech for Copy Van in Richmond, VA repairing SHARP copiers...
...for Circuit City (also in Richmond, VA) in their Special Technical Services Department...
...as a warehouse worker at BEST PRODUCTS in Ashland, VA (before they went "kaput")...
...I was a security guard - both for the Olympics held in Atlanta, GA & for the Hermitage Nursing Home in Richmond, VA...
...for the National Veteran's Legal Services Program (and later for their Agent Orange Resource Center) in D.C. at a non-profit that regularly sued the Veterans' Administration and the Board of Veteran's Appeals for benefits due veterans...
...at TTSS Interactive Products in Rockville MD as their Office Administrator (while also providing support between their Production, Programming, Graphics, Technical Support & Marketing departments, as well as doing some programming for their touchscreen systems)...
...and am currently back in Richmond, VA temping since I can't find a job to my standards.
Such is life, I guess!!!
