Scrappin Mondaze #4: Getty Villa

Scrappin Mondaze

The Getty Villa is one of the “must see” attractions in Southern California for free.  Located in Malibu, along the Pacific Coast, there is beauty in and out.

The weather was so permitting, very sunny and not cold for one winter day in December last year.  Lucky ! I don’t even have my sweater on.  It does not even snow here!

Do you love your job?

All my life, I grew up with numbers.  At an early age, I remember, when I was in sixth grade, I was already helping my father  in our wholesale and retail grocery.  He taught me the abacus, the adding machine and Mr. Underwood, a.k.a. the typewriter.  In high school, I have learned double entry bookkeeping.

Such that, after graduation, I pursued Business Administration, majored in Accounting, and became licensed.

Flash forward twelve years, I held on to my second job for 17 1/2 years.  Accounting, cash management, collections and auditing was all I did for a law firm that has over 100 lawyers.    Not that I did not love what I do, there was just the lacking of the upgrade in the changing “electronic” times.  I quit.  Just like that, two and a half years ago.

Now, I am still in the same environment, but on a smaller  scale, less that 100 lawyers.  Because I love what I do, I excel in my field.  My time is flexible, but I prefer to come in early.  I cannot complain about the special perks I get, the firm is happy with my performance.

When I was interviewed by the CEO, I said that I plan to retire with this firm.  Maybe that was the winning statement.

I was awarded in the last Christmas Party, the “MVP” of our branch office, which is also our Corporate office.  I know the feeling is mutual.
