As Time Goes By

As I mentioned earlier, I have resurrected this blog as part of a class project for my Social Media Technologies class.

So where have I been?  I had several health issues (including major surgery), which is one of the main reasons that I decided to centralize my communications.

I converted to Facebook for the bulk of my social media presence, because it was the platform that most of my family and friends were utilizing.  However, one of the hidden blessings of Facebook was that I was able to reconnect with people that I had lost contact with -- including those that I haven't seen in 30 years!  It was great reestablishing communications with friends and relatives throughout the world.

Of course, some of you may be wondering why I have returned to school, especially after so many years in the workforce.  Even though I have considerable work experience in a variety of fields, I never achieved any kind of degree above a GED (General Education Diploma), which is similar to an HSED (High School Equivalency Diploma).  When I unexpectedly returned to the job market in 2017, I found it hard to even get an interview with anything less than an Associate Degree, which is why I'm back in school, working on a degree as an eBusiness Technology Analyst.
