Aloha, all!

It has been almost 25 years since I started to have some excellent Vocational services with the Neurological Vocational Services, and this has resulted in having some of the best assistance and friends any individual could ask for. There has been a warm space in my heart for this organization, as there has never been a shortage of ideas and paths to follow to get where I am today. One of my favorite ideas that I have learned at NVS, is continually being able and interested in assisting other individuals, with the technical problems they face, on a regular basis. Sometimes a person has to look at what is most important to them, and follow the right path, to get where a person wants to be with their career. Now it can be taken for granted that sometimes a person has to recognize their own limitations, and try to change things, so this individual can actually be happy where they finally end up. This path does not always come easy, and an individual has to learn how to make accommodations.

Quite some time ago, a famous British philosopher (Sir Michael “Mick” Jagger) once said that “You can’t always get what you want – But if you try sometime you’ll find – You get what you need”. For many years, after studying in the world of computers, I ended up doing close to 4 years of Temporary work experience, doing IT work, for a wide variety of temporary agencies, for organizations that included, MIcrosoft, Multicare, Providence Health Care, and NCR. It may have taken a long time to get where I am today, but I am very proud opf working for HCL (the organization that does IT support for Pepsi). It has taken a relatively long period of time, but I finally feel that I have accomplished my Deepest career goals, due to the support originally provided here at the University of Washington, and Harborview.

I do believe that that the best summary i could claim about the career path i have followed is:

“Sometimes the light is shining on me

Other times, I can barely see.

Lately it occurs to me,

What a long, strange, trip its been….”

“Truckin'”

Check back soon!
