Getting a brain tumor
Having a co-worker make fun of my dresses because I only had five and wore them each once a week.

If someone gave you $10,000 and told you that you could NOT give it to any of your friends, family members or use it for yourself, what would you do with it?
I would give it to Heifer, International, an organization that buys farm animals for families in need in poor countries.

What are some of the life lessons that you have learned and would like to pass on to your descendants?
Life lessons:
If you lie, it will usually come back to bite you in the ass. Or, it will wear on you until you tell the truth. Don't lie.
Keep your integrity. It is something no person can take away from you.
Always have something in savings. It will take away a lot of stress in your life.
Always be there for family. They will always be there for you.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

What are 5 significant events or experiences in your life, and explain what effects they have had on you.
I don't feel like I have had five "significant" events in my life that fashioned me into what kind of person I am today.
My personality was deeply set when I was born and I just did what came naturally to me. When I was young I had many friends but no one that I was extremely close to. I liked to do odd jobs and earn money so that I could save it. I usually had some money stashed away somewhere in a special box. I get more enjoyment from saving money than spending it. When in high school I loved chasing boys and going to dances. I didn't do athletics because I didn't have that "gift" and I liked chasing boys better. Marriage is where I want to be. I always considered myself "half" of a couple. Change is something I don't do quickly. I put a lot of thought into it.
And that's all I have to say about this question!

What were some of the jobs you had throughout your life? Explain some of the memorable experiences you had with these jobs.
See the previous blog entry to see my history. I only had two employers in my life. One for six days, the other for 40 years!
I did work at Prosser Packers for six days immediately after graduation. I had to quit because my packing machine broke down. They then put me on the conveyer belt sorting asparagus. It gave me motion sickness. I quit.
My most memorable (apparently) experience during my working years (40) was when I lit a match in my office shortly after starting work (in order to smoke a cigarette, which you could smoke in your office back then!) As I struck the match, it flew out of my hand, across the room and into the insides of a typewriter! I was horrified!

What did you do for a career? Explain how you chose that career.
My career was Hanford
When I graduated from High School my mother drove me to Columbia Basin College to see about signing up. I didn't "know" what I wanted to be and the classes were for English, History, same kind of things I took in high school. I knew I was good at secretarial stuff so I went to Modern Business College and signed up for "Executive Secretary" program. Before the six months program was over I had an interview out at Hanford with Wadco company, which later became Westinghouse. I was a part time typist in the typing pool. I quickly got a job as a secretary and then four years later got my first job as an Engineering Technician Trainee.
I remained a technician for a couple of decades in various locations and then went on to Operations Specialist and then Maintenance Specialist, spending 40 years out at Hanford. Didn't plan it but it just happened. My first husband, Kerry Lynch was a blind date, through his sister Mickey, whom I worked with. My second husband, Mark Johnson was working in the same building (308 Bldg.) and asked me out.
