Robert's Story
Where to begin? How to capsulize 20 years in 20k characters?
After highschool I bounced around aimlessly for a bit. I got married way to young. Had a daughter, Ashley. Got divorced. Ended up moving to California, got a job in Silicon valley. Climbed the corporate ladder to supervisor, moved to Texas to take a management position. Got amrried again. Learned I hated being a mangaer, studied programming. Became a programmer right at the Net Bubble Burst. But landed a job with New York Life. Then 2 years ago, landed a job with a local home builder here in Texas. Had 2 1/2 great years there then just got laid off. Now going to work for a bank.
I can't believe I've been here for ten years. But my step daughter is planning on moving to California for college when she graduates, so we'll eventually r...Expand for more
eturn to the land of sanity. Unless we move to So. Cal. Which I won't do.
Oh and some where along the way,I became a grandfather. How the hell did I get old enough to be a grandparent? I mean come on. None of us are that freakin' old are we? When did this happen?
I was shocked when I turned forty because some where in the back of my mind I never thought I'd reach it. Now I'm pushing 50 and I'm thinking, Hell might as well go for 100! So that is my new goal. Providing my hobbies don't kill me first.
I SCUBA dive, jet ski, backpack - well no backpacking since I moved to Texas -and bungee jump. On my 50th I am planning to Sky Dive, if my wife, Kelly, will let me. (We are still discussing it.)
So thats it in a nutshell. If'n yah'll (see, I am in Texas) want to you can email me: robstrong at yahoo.
