I am a 32 year old mother of a nearly 6 year old daughter - (known on-line as CJ or "Rattlette"). I have lived my whole life in the Lower Mainland of B.C. and never wish to live anywhere else. I have 3 cats - Indy, Daytona & Angel. (Angel was a very tiny kitten and I just couldn't stick her with a huge name like Talladega. LOL!) I have an older brother and an older sister in the real world, as well as all my cyberkin named below.
What do I do to keep myself busy? Didn't I just tell you I have a 5 year old? :-) I'm a "jack of all trades" at the company I work for - my job title is "I.S. Support Coordinator" - don't ask me what it means, I don't know either. :-) I love computers. I finished a class on "Microcomputer Applications Specialist" (means I can use Word, wahoo!!) and am planning to get my MOUS Office 2000 Master certification... eventually.... A Ratt with a MOUS certificate?? Sounds weird, doesn't it? :-) I am currently taking a course called Computer Management Computer Support, which is a 10 month course (and along with the MCAS course I mentioned above, plus another course & some other miscellaneous groovy stuff, will give me an actual certificate, which is something I am hoping to accomplish. After that, who knows... MCSE maybe? Or maybe I'll just try to absorb more knowledge vicariously from me computer type buds, a few of which are mentioned below.I also enjoy working with (if from 3000 miles apart) my favourite hi-tech redneck - Cowboy!! :-) (Who has - hopefully - gotten his MCSE - was pretty intense & all for him to manage full time school and work and still find time to sleep, so he's like my hero for being able to do that. Way ta go dear!!) And a couple other 'migos that don't have alias' on here, so I'll just refer to 'em as DGx2 since conveniently they have the same initials. Actually one of 'em has left to do better things, but I still hear from him, so I'm happy. Anybody reading this that works with me could probably figure out who those 3 individuals are anyhow. And I'm happy that v-guy is back. He worked on contract for a bit, and now he's back "permanently". Welcome back!!
My hobbies....hm.....lessee....
I love computers... I love to hang out on-line... I love to drive my little Nissan Pickup truck! Someday I want a bigger truck, but it HAS to be a stick-shift! I refuse to drive anything else! LOL!
I love Nascar - Mark Martin is my favourite driver, but I also love Darrell Waltrip, Jeff Burton, Ward Burton & John Andretti.
I am a big music fan - my taste tends towards 80's Rock at the moment, but I like just about anything. Also really into Santana's "Smooth" and about anything by Savage Garden.
I have to mention my best friends in Real Life - Ratgob, Deetur, Rockin' Roller and Who, and my wonderful daughter Rattlette. :-D
I would like to mention of my friends on-line, and I KNOW I'm gonna miss somebody, so if I miss you please tell me so I can add you in! I don't wanna make you mad!! :-(
