I am quite sure most of us can attest to this. My youth saw me go through the process of attending school, and seeing it through to university. With that in hand, I started the next process, working in my field, computers and software. My work, with some impressive employers, spanned from 1976 to 1990. Then another phase, or process, self-employment.
I started my business, Compunite Enterprises Inc., with an eye toward "Uniting People with Computers" and, during the 90's, enjoyed the good life. That process changed from building custom database applications and selling PCs, to trying to find stable, long term contracts. The contracts became few and far between and the early 2000's had its ups and downs.
I eventually threw in the towel and went to work for a sweat shop in Etobicoke. That lasted one year, as I left in pain, in need of a hip replacement. This latest process saw us taking a leap and moving to Niagara Falls, where we want to end up... our forever home. After surgery and recovery, I began feeling at home.
The second to last process has been that of trying to find work in the Niagara Region. It would be more likely getting hit by lightening... twice. So I am now entering, what I hope will be, my last process. I am taking part-time jobs while I look for full-time work.
"Process" is key here as my objective is to put into play the many skills I have developed over the years when I routinely identified processes and turned them into automated solutions for my clients. My clients made lots of money on my back, and now I am just looking to get some of that for me.
Please have a good hard look at the web-site. I would be very interested to hear what you think of it.
