Résumé as a window into history  
  ^       

Objective:

To stimulate the reader's perception, imagination, critical faculties and memory with some of my "work" history.

Notice: It seems to me "Education" and "Employment" are pretty much the same. More or less like "Occupation," so some of these entries may parallel, overlap, contradict, or supplement one another.

I retired in November, 1998. For more than 35 years I was a reliable, dependable, and hardworking County employee. Really. I am flexible and work well in a team environment and on independent assignments. At the moment I am relearning the joys (and otherwise) of formal educational opportunities in the areas of computer graphics and web page design.

Experience:

10/14/2021 - (After a decent interval of only 21 years, give or take)
A Mild update:
   (Disregarding earlier formatting conventions)

First impulse: Update IMDb reference to include a second "background artist" experience, this one with pictures.
