HEY ALL!! jack of all trades, master of none

    "    I went down to the Chelsea drugstore, to get my prescription filled, I was standin' in line with Mr Jimmy, a man did he look pretty ill, we decided that we would have a soda, my favorite flavor cherry red, I sung my song to Mr Jimmy, yeah and he said one word to me and that was dead    "    You know I use to work in the Consumer Finance business, about 20 yrs. And you had to be familiar with a lot of different things, cars, boats, electronics, furniture, snow mobiles, etc, etc. BUT, you never had time to 'master' any one of those areas. So that's where the term in the title comes from. I had a blast working in that field, and really feel it was meant for me. I left it on a sour note, I became a little disillusioned about the 'industry'. Instead of taking a step back and re-evaluating things, I just acted out and went into another field that I could use my experience in. I was trying to get back into consumer finance at the time of my disability. I had lined up several interviews and was looking into the fact if I was rehire-able at SpringLeaf Financial (American General).  My leaving was just an acting out response to several interviews  where I felt I was not being respected for the accomplishments and hard work I had shown for my younger age. I guess things turned out OK. I do miss the day to day stuff in finance, and some of the WILD experiences. But it helps for current day to day things now. I got a phone call the other day from a bill collector, (from a VERY old bill of my 2nd ex), and I just smoothly told him a big tale about Dave going to Canada, I told him about a job and city he had moved to. I am sure now the bill collector is spending several days trying to track down all this 'new' information. GOOD LUCK. None of it exist!! That's just one way of using my prior knowledge to throw someone off track. CHOW MOI!!
