The Remember When thread has me thinking about myself when I first came to iVillage and how much things have changed since then.  Anybody else want to play?

I came to iVillage in the summer of 2000.  I was 36 and working as HR Manager for an internationally-owned manufacturing company  I was divorced with a 6 1/2-yr-old disabled son, and my ex had committed suicide a few months before.  This was actually the event that led me to iVillage in the first place.  I was one of those "Have to work" moms and was told by several when I first came here that I had no place in this debate because I had no choice.  

Now, I'm 51 and my son is 21.  For the past tnot-quite-ten years I've worked as the business manager for a small architecture firm.  Eight years ago, I also absorbed the marketing coordinator's position.  The job(s) and the company have been overwhelmingly stressful at times but have changed greatly over the past few years, due to economic/market and ownership changes.  I am now in a very comfortable position within the company.  I also no longer really have to work.  My son is now in a position to offer to take care of things if I want to quit and take some time to figure out what I want to do.  That offer has led me to the realization that despite the stress, long hours (which really isn't an issue anymore anyway) and frustration, I am already doing what I want to do.  I'll be sticking around there.

I denied any story as a report does NOT tell you the story. Just like someone is accusing Jams of a report. Do you know the story behind that either or are you just trying to make it into something it most likely is not?

If there is a story, it  happened.  Do you know the story behind the twitter follower or are you just trying to make it into something that it most ilkely is not?
