About Me
- Name: Snave
- Location: La Grande, Oregon, United States
I am a native eastern Oregonian, and have lived here 50 of my 62 years. I left at 20, but was back by age 32 to be near my parents to help them in times of need. I don't fit in politically here because I view things from a decidedly left wing perspective... but that's o.k. because I love the people, I love the area and for the most part I like living here. I enjoy family time, listening to music, reading books, traveling, bird watching, hiking, backpacking, watching movies, keeping up on politics, watching sports, sitting at the computer so much I get sores on my ass, and playing music... if you need a band for your party or celebration, let me know; I play keyboards and sing for a rock and roll band, and we do mostly "classic rock". (I also like to play guitar and bass and other instruments, but those are for my private enjoyment only!) I am mainly an agnostic/skeptic, but would consider myself spiritual. I work in schools and in clinical settings as a speech/language therapist. It is enjoyable work and it pays some of the bills. I have a rather unpredictable sense of humor, which can get me in trouble at times, but hey, is life worth living without laughter? I think not!

Owie! I started on the road to being a school administrator, but ended up ditching that when I had a lousy practicum supervisor who called me all kinds of four-letter names and made attacks on my character. I hadn't been diagnosed as OCD yet, and I'm glad of that... because I decided to go back to teaching special ed after only a few months of admin practicum. Had I been on my meds back then I might have decided to stick with it. And NOW... the Education Service District for which I work has been attacked by a local watchdog group, the ESD has been examined by the state, and the administrators have been fired and the board members recalled... lots and lots of money being skimmed, numbers of students being improperly reported, etc. Icky stuff!
Glad I didn't end up being a part of that. Although the difference in salary was nice!
Great story, Snave. Having OCD does have its benefits every now and then. : )
