Reply #18: What an interesting life

[1gobluedem]

I really admire people who have the courage to pursue a variety of interests through work or otherwise.

Since graduating from college I've managed a retail store, worked as an office manager at an embroidery company, done public relations for a major corporation, sold newspaper and radio advertising, then settled into my current public radio development director job sixteen years ago. Along the way I saw a six year relationship fizzle, built a new lasting relationship that's forever whether we decide to get married or not, adjusted to life after brain surgery, learned to accept the loss of hearing in one ear and a balance disorder as the result of that surgery, and learned to deal with with the disappearance of a dear childhood friend who is presumed murdered. In all, I've been pretty darn lucky; wish I could say the same for my friend.
