Thank you, everyone, for the wonderful comments. No matter what I get compliments for / in, I always feel very humbled.
As for being a Marketing Manager, not exactly, yet marketing was a big part of my last job. (As in, kinda' sorta HUGE!)
The super, SUPER abridged version…
I actually started working at Walgreens as a photo tech because I just needed a job. I moved up the ranks quickly and although I didn't have a degree or certification in marketing, it was a part of the job the current manager was supposed to do, but wasn't. And I was good at it. It help me get promoted to a department manager within two months. Within my first year, I was giving presentations and teaching other photo managers on how to look at the demographics of their area and market properly. I helped my district photo manager design the overall theme for the holiday advertising. I was going to start training for that position, and then the company got rid of it when the economy tanked. And then, unfortunately, I collapsed in my lab and now I'm permanently disabled.
On the other end of things, I'm also a teacher as far as my spiritual path goes. That is why I'm able to explain things to others. The only worry I have is that now I'm having a few cognitive function issues due to some chemical imbalances. My doctors and I are taking care of that, and I am not going to let that go away in my life.
But I never really have to think about it, as soon as I got into marketing in my job, it's like my brain was just programed. When I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 disorder age 27, I found out that that's just how my brain works. I think that explains why I always jumped from topic to topic as I was younger. I got bored with things, yet all of it just sticks. LOL! And I can't help but want to share it with everybody else, even if all it involves is making coinage in a game. LOL! *shrug*
