What do I do for a living?  Hold on this is pretty damn exciting.....I am the Account Manager for the Canadian industrial wood coatings division of one of the largest paint manufacturers in the world.  Basically I am responsible for all of our distributors across the country.  I'm also one of our corporate trainers which means I teach courses all over North America.  Off to Boston in the three weeks.  I know, I know....its a glamorous as it sounds

What did I used to do?  Well almost ten years ago now (yikes!) I had this idea that I was going to be a History teacher.  So I got my degree, volunteered and supply-taught but then life happened and the teaching thing was never realized.  I was already working in the coatings industry so I just continued with that until I decided what to do with my life.  Then all of a sudden I found myself with a great job that pays me a lot more money than I would have made teaching so here I am and I love it.

What do I plan to do next?  Stay in the same field, preferably with the same company.  Lots of room for advancement.

What is my dream job?  Rock star.

Is it going to happen?  Only in my basement performing for my cat.
