				| What are you doing now: 
 Currently, I'm the Chief Admin for NTWS.  I retired from actual work to fun in 2012.
 You can click the above Post Employment for additional info about those positions.
 
 36 years in IS [programming] and IT [network].
 
 Before that, I was Blood Bank Tech, weekend supervisor and later worked as the supervisor for a research company to help develop a process to automate the Blood Bank process.

				| Other Comments: 
 Instead of doing a blog I decided that working as the Chief Admin on this site works best for me.   Sort of like a Consultant.    I can set my own hours/days, and I get a lot of satisfaction helping others on here complete their profiles.
