I worked for the electric utility helping commercial customers save money by installing energy efficient products and then giving them rebates. Nothing very glamorous and after 32 years I had to retire and go on disability because of my lovely cancer. Unfortunately my wife is still working as I retired at 56.

Slight correction. I recall that my first job was as a dishwasher at a restaurant that had just opened. They asked me what I wanted to do and being shy I said "dishwasher". I did not think I could handle working with the public. The late hours and the heat of the dishwashing machine was a little too much to handle.

I started there the summer of 1977 and then got a job at Bower's Mansion in Washoe Valley handling a small food provider. "Handling" as the partners with the contract kind of left me and a woman there to do the work while they covered the softball diamond concession they also a contract for.

The dishwasher job was with the Rapscallion Restaurant which is now probably the best fish place in Reno, Nevada. It opened in 1977.

Access Denied

Still want to try their food sometime at the Rapscallion in Reno, Nevada.

I worked at the partnership's various interests until Memorial Day of 1983 where I was at Bower's Mansion when the nearby Davis Creek park was hit with a mudslide. I left very soon after that to drive to Denver and start a Master's Program at the U of Denver.

Memories of tragedies. Memorial Day 1983 Mudslide.

I did call one of the partners of this food service concern when I was in Reno, Nevada at the law library convention the Summer of 1989. Just to tell them that I had made it through law school this time. I had taken a shot at BYU Law School in 1982 but only lasted about two weeks.

The other partner become the warden of one of Nevada's prisons. He had been very interested in corrections when we talked.

Not sure when and how he got into that field from food service.

I had typed his name in and up popped all these court cases of Inmate Blabla is suing Warden X.

//// too long and boring, nobody really cares anyway.

I'm not going to disclose what I did for a living, when it's disclosed at a party, many people find it interesting and asked endless questions. I was in my profession for 40 years and all though many people find it fascinating after a while a job just become a job.
Thank God for retirement.

Guzzel

Computer Systems Engineer. There not many women in that sector of IT when I was coming up through it. I'll admit that it was both fun and daunting to be the only "girl" on a team. But for the last 14 years of my career, I had the good fortune to work with several awesome women.
