My name is Jacy (weird name, I know. Call it Hippie parents. Lol) I hate my screen name. But I have to delete my account, and recreate, and, well who the heck wants to do that? So I guess I have to stick with "Albertsj". I had been in the IT field, in the corporate world, for 22 years. I fell in to it completely by accident, was never technical minded in the least, and never liked it. About a year or so ago, I got to the point where I couldn't take one more minute of it, it was sucking the life out of me. Anyway, I finally quit, and registered for school full time. (Long story where I came up with the money at the time) Then this past August, I had a very mild stroke, (See my first Hub: http://albertsj.hubpages.com/hub/What-I-had-a-Stroke for details) am currently on disability, and I started rethinking where my passion lies.... I've always loved to write....and, well here I am. I may write about anything, from Health, Nutrition, Humor, to more Philisophical issues. Please feel free to give any, thoughts, and opinions. I may not agree but I learn from opposing opinions, as well as like opinions. And I like a good debate/conversation anyway. They allways make me think. I welcome all/any comments, except angry, juvenile ones.
