I LOVE my job! Been working for a charitable organization since 1986 and for the past 16 years I've been working in the IT Dept. The three of us in that department are responsible for the purchasing, deploying, and installation of all hardware and software throughout BC and the Yukon. We look after approx. 100 users. Not a day goes by that I don't learn something and all my training was "on-the-job" training. My boss is my best friend and we have shared many laughs and tears over the past 16 years. Sadly she will be retiring in about 3 years so I'm trying to prepare myself for that. It's going to be a tough time.
My co-workers have asked me the question if I want to move into her position as Manager and my answer is NO. Deal with budgets? Deal with the upper-crust and go to boring meetings? I think not. I work better as the engine and not the hood ornament.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
