In contrast, like most clients they care primarily that the front-end works -- not what's happening in the background to make it all happen. The most challenging aspect was coming up with the back-end business rules, behaviors and interface tool sets to support the public facing marketing, catalog and content. It provided an excellent opportunity to come up with some innovative concepts for handling large amounts of data and anticipate how we would handle future system growth in advance of Verizon Wireless requests.

Be Patient. Learn when to fight for something and when to let something pass. Negotiation and collaboration is very, very important. Aside from those lessons which are good for any job, it pays to note that the Non-Profit world is NOTHING like the corporate world. But it also pays to note that there are times when an association wants very much to act like a corporation.

The redesign was good enough to warrant the National Education Association taking a good hard look at how well the site was re-designed so they could see what they could "steal" for their own sites. They loved it.

I've never felt so much like I was talking to a brick wall. The HR people, the colleagues, all the same way. You ask someone to come out to see you and interview for the position, you're an hour away. Strange, strange organization. You drive there and they have nothing to discuss? Sure I'm supposed to 'sell myself' to them, but with the attidude they had? Why bother? Remember, you also have to sell me on why I want to work there. It goes both ways.

I had opportunities to do the "acting thing" full time. I even had a professional production under my belt and also appeared at the Kennedy Center in a showcase. I wonder what would have happened if i had spent some real time in LA and NY and had pursued an acting career, where it would have gone. My bottom line is that regardless of what would have been, I wouldn't trade what I have in my life now for anything.

What will be harder, much harder -- is finding the perfect job, one that's a job, an important job -- but not my life. My baby girl, she's my life. She's #1. The moment you lose that perspective is the moment you're not going to be happy doing anything, let alone a good and important job.
