First career...

Who, what, why, when, how....and yes, what.
Was news reporter covering crime. "i see dead people."
saw enough of them and too many silly editors. So, back to school I've gone. Started few years back, stopped, then realized beach brat not a career, sigh.
Intended direction, student affairs, as in study.

I drink, do research and play golf in the Summer. I attend the occasional law class in the Fall/Spring.

My mom taught school, my dad did something with money that apparently I still can't understand despite being allowed on the internet on my own. My uncle ran a small weekly paper that I refused to work for because I was stupid(?).

Apparently I worked for some other paper, a daily perhaps and I did all the shit work by having to go to meetings and listen to boring people talk and also writing fluff pieces.
Then I started writing the crime stories because their previous guy stopped doing his job.
This paper was most likely something like The Onion because I can't imagine someone reading stories written by someone who types like this.

Writing about crime has converted me to satanism...

Being around a fire makes my clothes smell smokey.

Being around blood meant I could have blood on my shoe... or ketchup from my Quarter Pounder. You never know!

Ha ha, Get it?

Everyone I work with is crazy (explains a lot huh?) and they leave in the middle of important news, but it's ok because they laugh at it.

I've never understood the fascination behind watching pursuits and wanting to see crashes, yet at the same time, even I have to reel myself in, so I'm contradicting myself.

Wow, Drolefille, you're really good at that!

Anyway, I'm pursuing my BSW (Bachelor of Social Work) and will be done this time next year. After that, I continue not having a life until I get my MSW, and then I will hopefully have a job.

During the week, I work as a TSS to children with behavioral issues, such as Autism, ADD, and ADHD.

On the weekends, I work at a small winery, giving wine tastings and selling wines.

And I'm thinking about going back to school.

no, not one.

satanist? no.
i have covered them, as well as a serial killer, a serial rapist, rogue cops, happy cops, and a chimp. and comforted those who have lost loved ones suddenly.
and I've won 2 state writing awards, got 1 law passed, and mentored several young women new to the field, as in journalism.
An on-the-job injury ended that, now, I get to start over.
Ha Ha ha?
