It Wasn't Just A Job

I had some of my writing published in newspapers and magazines, but my biggest venue would be on the Internet, a whole lotta years in the future.  While I waited for my next "Big Break":

• I served 8 years as a Radioman in the U.S. Navy.  I was a Reservist during Desert Storm;
• I worked 15+ years in retail; 14 years were in management.  I worked my way up from Stock-boy to Drug Store Manager;
• I became a Nationally Certified Pharmacy Technician in 1999;
• Then in 2003 I became a Certified Website Designer;
• That same year I also became a Certified Computer Artist.
