Peter's Story
Life
Wow!!
What can I say? Hard to believe that it's going on 25 years since I graduated from Foran. After high school, I took a few months off, then went to SCCC and got an associates degree in Liberal arts, then went on to Stone Academy and received a degree in Data Entry/Keypunch. I did various temp jobs for many years. I worked at the former Alexander's nearly 3 years in sales, then various other jobs until 1991 when i was hired by United Illuminating. I started as a file clerk, worked my way to Administrative Secretary. In 1994, my father passed away suddenly and in the years ahead, it became more and more of a struggle to maintain the house where we lived. It was decided, in early 1999, that mom and i move to Colorado to be closer to my sister and her family. The hardest part was leaving the home you lived in for so long. But now, finally settled in Louisville, Colorado, which is near Boulder and 20 minutes from Denver, I've started a new life here.
I am still single, never married yet. I'm hoping to find that special someone someday.
It would be nice to hear from my fellow classmates.
**UPDATE: 08-31-06: ** I was laid off from Spherion in 2004. I was lucky enough to find another job, only to lose that job at the end of January 2006. I've been unemployed for the past 6.5 months now. I've been sending resumes out, but nothing yet. .
**UPDATE: 04-22-08: ** I'm now working as a cashier for Target. been there nearly a year.

Real life vs online
Body: I've been going online for the past 15+ years and i've seen the good, the bad, and the truly, ugly side of it.
for the most part, it's been pretty good. I've met a lot of nice people online and in real life too. I'm still friends with some to this day.
What gets me is, if you have to put up a fake profile just to prove that you're someone you're not?? I just don't get it.
I have profiles on myspace, facebook, and AOL. I put my heart and soul into the profiles. What you read in them ...Expand for more
is the real me. Not someone that i've made up. I believe in honesty.
If you can't be honest with yourself, how can you be with someone else?
I have over 2500 people on my friend list here on myspace. Out of all those, maybe a dozen or more have communicated with me over the years. I will treasure these friends forever..and you know who you are.. :)
when i first started going on line, i wasn't sure what the etiquette was. I just went with the flow.. Of course, now a days, you also have to be careful!!
I go through a lot of profiles and i have to say, for the most part, most are pretty honest and the others are just out-right pathetic!! and fake. you gotta love a fake profile!! If i receive a friend request, i always look to see what friends we may have in common,; if it's only 1 friends and they have a stupid pic, it' usually means it's spam and the gateway to your computer going to the twilight zone. I found that out the hard way last year...when i accidently clicked onto an email that had my name in the greeting and it turned out to be a virus that wiped out just about everything on my computer!! it took months for me to get my computer up and running. that's why i am very cautious.
i love reading emails from people that are on my friend list. i used to post blogs alot, thinking people read them, but, alot of them don't.
i see lots of bulletins posted with huge amounts of comments along with it. I wonder, what am i doing wrong that i don't get that kind of response? Then i figure, i must truly be a boring person...Which i'm not, by the way.
I have lots to say, and would love to post them, but why take the time to write your thoughts, if i'm the only one who reads it? Grant it, maybe a few people will comment on it. I may not be famous, but i'm just as human as the next person.
Like my late father always told me, and it's stuck with me: "You're as good as, if not better, than the next person".
That is so true!! If only everyone could understand that..
peace.
