EMPLOYMENT

2003 – 2007: Crossroads Bookstore Lake Charles, LA
Receiving Clerk

Crossroads is a retail establishment that sells Christian books and articles. It is owned by Our Lady Queen of Heaven Parish in Lake Charles. By nature of the ownership, Crossroads is considered a non-profit organization.
My primary function at Crossroads was receiving goods. I did the data entry and eventually took over the management of the database. Their system had previously been used only as a cash register. The data base is now a tool for purchasing, sales analysis, and customer service. I did a lot of this work on my own time because I felt it wrong to not make better use of tools on hand and it made my own job simpler.
I handled most of the packaging of goods and took care of a lot of the merchandizing. I ordered restock when asked. Mostly I provided information to higher ups.
The store was closed for seven months after Hurricane Rita. I took the opportunity of down time to clean up the database, merging duplicate records and setting protocol for merchandise naming and numbering to avoid such duplications in the future. I was charged with the responsibility of replacing all of the damaged computers for the store and reporting merchandise losses for insurance purposes.
I prepared a spreadsheet that listed our sales by day, week, month, quarter, and annually for all the years for which we had data for a new manager that came in last year and assisted him in maintaining those records. I also produced profit/loss reports for outside sales and special events.
Crossroads received a substantial donation of books and I handled the evaluation and disposition thereof. I also wrote our safety procedures. I handled customer complaints, collected old receivables, and did whatever was needed.
I have many reasons for leaving Crossroads but the main thing I need at this point in my life is to earn a living wage.

1999 – 2003 ~ Self or Temporary Employment ~ Lake Charles, LA
Caregiver

My father-in-law suffered a series of strokes and my mother was diagnosed with a terminal heart condition at the end of the last century. I made a decision to stand with my parents until they died and did only temporary work when their conditions allowed. I learned how to hoist dead weight, and how to love unconditionally.
While caring for my parents was my primary activity during these years, I also began the Loyola program (discussed in my education section) during this time. My husband left me with three children and I had to work to feed and house my family. Often I worked for cash. I cannot tell you exactly how we survived, but we made it. My desire for permanent employment and a living wage stem directly from this experience.

A few of my "temp" tasks are as follows:

File Clerk ~ Calcasieu Parish Health Unit ~ Lake Charles, LA

Hired through Turner Staffing, I worked at the unit while their new building was under construction. Their file room had been moved and the near 20,000 records were not well arranged. I reorganized the filing system back into the system they had been accustomed to. I also participated in a "file audit" which entailed purging of old records. Since I had to touch every file anyway, I used that opportunity to reorganize. (It seemed like the right thing to do.)

Technical Support ~ Office of Religious Formation Diocese of Lake Charles

I have done volunteer work for the diocese for over a decade. I was paid for a time, working regularly there during a staff transition. I could not be hired full-time due to diocesan policy regarding nepotism.
One of my tasks was to prepare records for audit – reconciling general ledger accounts to individual events. For example, the income and expense of all Youth Ministry events were clumped into single GL accounts so that revenue and costs, while accurate, did not reflect how each event fared. I would separate income and expense into separate events to provide Profit/Loss statements for each. I then prepared spreadsheets to balance back to the general ledger. I also organized all of the support data for the auditor's review. This is a task I did for years as a volunteer, but I was actually paid during my own transition.
I also participated in and/ or coordinated the development of several ACCESS databases for other departments. I helped set up tracking records for the newly developed "Safety" department and for Adult Education, as well as mailing lists that could be used inter-departmentally.

Cleaning Services ~ Self Employed ~ Lake Charles, LA

I worked with a few friends who clean for a living, being paid cash, when their work- load allowed. My favorite of these jobs was bar cleaning as the hours allowed me to work around the needs of my children and parents. I did this until I began working at Crossroads. It was pretty much anything for a buck.

Researcher ~ Self Employed ~ Lake Charles, LA

I spent several months researching ancient Mayan culture for a writer. I was paid cash for simply reading! Of course, I also had to report my findings to the writer. Nice job!

993 – 1997 ~ Petrocon, Inc. ~ Lake Charles, LA
Data Processing, Scribe

Petrocon was a subsidiary of an international engineering firm whose function was to provide staffing for local refineries. I was hired initially to work on a major project transferring inventory records of one refinery to SAP standards. This was a long-term project at very nice pay. The data processing involved downloading the old system information into ACCESS, abbreviating the descriptions into SAP format before uploading into the new system.
Petrocon called me back three times to work as a "scribe" for refinery safety audits. My task for this was to provide real-time reports for the committee doing the audit.
Petrocon was absorbed into the parent company and the types of services I provided for them were discontinued.

1992 - 1993 ~ KMI Printed Products ~ Lake Charles, LA
Buyer

KMI is a locally owned printing company. My job was to maintain an inventory of stock paper used in recurring jobs and to buy for special orders. Their computer system was in IBM Inventory database and I used it for ordering, receiving, and preparation of reports for physical counts.
I was also in charge of the warehouse (I can drive a forklift) and shipping. I set the delivery schedule and, depending on the maturity of the driver, often determined the routes themselves.
I did most of the pre-press cutting and helped with most of the bindery work. Final cuts and packing were also my responsibilities.
I developed excellent working relationships with our vendors' sales representatives. They quickly learned that I was aware of who sold what and at what cost and was thereby able to negotiate prices. I saved KMI a lot of money.
I left KMI when Petrocon hired me at twice the pay.

1990 – 1992 ~ IT Corporation ~ Lake Charles, LA
Data Coordinator

IT is an international engineering firm that was contracted by a local plant for a Remediation Feasibility Investigation that had been mandated by the EPA. I was hired through Olsten Staffing as a receptionist, a job I held for less than two weeks. I moved into data management rather quickly.
The EPA mandate was that the refinery report all environmental irregularities by a certain date and a fine of $1 Million dollars per day was proposed for failure to complete the task on time. This was highly intense and extremely satisfying work.
The task manager for data resources, Donaldo Morino, signed me on to track test results for up to thirty independent, though simultaneously ongoing investigations from proposal to reporting. Once I had that task in control, I was assigned the job of finding all the historical data for the plant, and having that information input into our database.

Nearing the end of the job, the Project Manager ask that I take on coordinating the production of boring logs. We had less than two months to go and that task was taking up to three weeks to produce one such log. We had over two hundred logs to input. Working with some highly skilled people, we were able to establish a procedure that produced fifteen to twenty logs a day and completed the job on time.
Early on and then to the end of the project I was charged with Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) of the chemical data reports. This involved checking our own input to verify that we were reporting what the independent labs reported. Later I was part of the QA/QC team for the groundwater modeling job, a task so complex that only PhD's were allowed to input the data.
I served on a committee within the staff to act as a planner for future work activities. The committee was formed as the result of a management training program that was offered by the plant we were under contract to.
I worked with over forty engineers and geologists on this job. I learned a lot about databases and how much work spreadsheets could save. These people were very generous with their knowledge and taught me whatever I wanted to know. I also learned the importance and beauty of teamwork. I am very proud to have been a part of it.
The people were extremely kind at IT and I asked a geologist why one day. He told me that at IT one never knew who was going to be the next boss, so you treat everyone well. I keep that lesson with me still.
With the project compete, producing a report where laying the paper end to end would twice circumvent the planet, my job with IT was done. I was one of only three people on the job who actually lived in Lake Charles and everyone else moved on as well.

1982 – 1992 ~ Self Employed ~ Lake Charles, LA
Consulting

Simultaneous with the split up of Morris Scalisi & Dennison (below) I had procured a contract to design a computerized accounting system for a group of four related but separate individuals in Lake Charles. I took the opportunity of the split to venture out on my own. Personal computers were becoming the rage and the plan was to primarily set up companies with their own in-house accounting systems. While in the process of converting the individuals, their C.P.A. died and I was contracted to prepare their personal income taxes for that year. Before taxes were completed, the matriarch of that group died and I prepared her estate return. Now two years into a task that should have taken months, the group offered me a retainer to stay with them to tend to their taxes.
I had numerous clients outside this core group for whom I did design accounting systems. Most typically I would be called when folks had set up on their own system and nothing worked right, so I seldom had the pleasure of starting from scratch. I worked with approximately twenty different accounting programs. My job was to clean their systems up and train someone in-house to maintain it.
My own family opened The Bookaneer, a family bookstore during those years. I did the bookkeeping and helped out in purchasing and running the store. I was also married and had my three children in that time.. By 1990, the IRS had initiated a compliance test for our tax district and I was doing taxes all year round. The bookstore was failing and required a lot of my attention. And I had babies that were learning to walk without my seeing it. I had lost the balance of doing what I loved (designing systems) and doing what I needed to do to survive (prepare taxes). I have little fondness left for accounting.

1980 – 1982 ~ Morris Scalisi & Dennison ~ Lake Charles, LA
Staff Accountant

I went to work for Morris Scalisi & Dennison (MSD) when I moved back to Lake Charles in 1980. My younger sister wanted to go to law school and I thought if I moved home I could pay rent to my mother and she could provide some financial support for my sister that way.
My major task was preparation of monthly financial statements. The General Leger work was maintained by a staff of bookkeepers who worked under my direction.
I also did a lot of tax work for MSD. I gained a reputation as the "bag lady" for individual taxes as most folks who came in with a box full of mess they supposed were their tax records were directed to me. I had a knack for transforming messes into tax returns and financial statements.
I also handled most of the unusual taxes such as trusts, fiduciary, and estate returns. I further handled several corporate accounts: general ledger, financial statements, and tax preparation. And I assisted in audits as I had done with DHS (below).
I attended McNeese for two semesters where I was trying to earn the basic credits I needed to carry forward my credits from LSU and UNO. McNeese would not recognize those hours as I did not have their prerequisites for them. I was required to take Intermediate Accounting II, even though LSU offered McNeese's Intermediate I and II as a single course. I keep that text book with me and sometimes use it as a sleeping aid.
I left when the firm split in 1982.

1978 – 1980 ~ Deloitte, Haskins & Sells (DHS) ~ New Orleans, LA
Small Business Associate

DHS was one of the "Big Eight" accounting firms. I had moved to New Orleans with the intention of getting married and I got a job instead.
The Small Business Department was under development when I came on board. With few clients of my own I was loaned out to the Audit Department for audit preparation. I would spend two weeks with clients prior to their audit and reconcile payroll and sales tax accounts, set inventory up for counting, and prepare records for review.
I upset a client who fussed at me. I reported the incident to the department head. The department head called the client and told him that he was never to speak that way to one of our staff or we would no longer represent them. I did not expect that, I expected to be fussed at again. Another nice lesson, people matter!
DHS mandated continuing professional education and as such I was assigned to attend several workshops on inventory maintenance and accounting practices. We were also required to attend several management workshops.
Teamwork and information sharing was a huge part of this job. Not only did I attend the above workshops I also had to present what I had learned to the rest of the staff, as they did for others when they got special training. Audit is especially team oriented and I enjoyed working for that department very much.
The tax department offered to hire me and pay for my schooling, but I wanted to go home, and I did.
I attended UNO at nights when finances allowed. My courses included economics and accounting. The tax accounting course proved frustrating as I had to learn techniques that were two years outdated. I began to reconsider careers and educational paths at that time.

1976 -1978 ~ Postlewaite, Netterville, Evans & Majors ~ Baton Rouge, LA
Staff Bookkeeper

Postlewaite, et. al. was the largest firm in Baton Rouge in its day. They did all bank audits in the city. Whenever we found a bank error while reconciling a client's bank statement, we were allowed to charge the bank for the time instead of the client. I've always felt that was a cool sort of justice.
I worked in a pool of bookkeepers. We were primarily charged with general ledger preparation. The records were processed on an in-house mainframe. We also prepared oodles of sales tax returns, payroll tax returns, and W-2's. My client list consisted mostly of apartment complexes and numerous small loan companies. I prepared an inordinate amount of amortization and depreciation schedules.
Teamwork was a big part of this job. While each bookkeeper had her/his own client list, we would regularly switch jobs when one of us got stuck on something. We produced abundant product that way, were work never stopped, it was simply reshuffled.
I attended LSU when funds and time allowed, studying accounting, industrial psychology and sociology among other basic subjects.

1974 – 1976 ~ Davidson Sash & Door ~ Baton Rouge, LA
Bookkeeper

I moved to Baton Rouge in 1974 when my mother literally told me to get out of town or she would kill me. I was young and restless and I suppose obedient.
Davidson was a building supply wholesaler and was based in Lake Charles. I was the bookkeeper for the Baton Rouge branch. My duties included accounts receivable and payable, bank reconciliation, some warehouse supervision, and I learned how to key locks.
Davidson did not pay well and I took a night-time job as a bartender to make ends meet. I left both of those jobs when Postlewaite et. al. hired me at a living wage.

1972 – 1974 ~ Bel Estate / Quatre Parish Co. / Lacassine Co. ~ Lake Charles, LA
Bookkeeper

Bel and Quatre were two interrelated landholding partnerships and Lacassine (also land) was a corporation owned by varying partners from the other two groups. My job was to distribute the earnings from farming, timber sales, and sales of mineral rights. This was a standard bookkeeping job except when one of the partners decided to donate her minerals to her children. To support her donation, I was charged with plotting all contiguous properties within the 200,000 acres the partnerships held and provide descriptions thereof in order to set a value on the donation. That task was fun, the rest of it was just work.

1971 – 1972 ~ Waitress ~ Lake Charles, LA
Black Angus and El Rio

I worked as a waitress while attending Delta Tech and my first semester at McNeese. The money was good and I enjoyed the work. I was employee of the month twice at Black Angus, but I wanted a daytime job.

EDUCATION

I studied accounting at McNeese, LSU and UNO. No degree. I am one course short of completing a graduate Pastoral Studies program through Loyola, New Orleans. I believe in Continuing Professional Education. I did this for accounting and still do this for catechesis. I am a facilitator for Christian Leadership Institute, so I teach and learn as well.

VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE

I am a big believer in volunteerism and have offered my services for most of my adult life. Currently I do work for the Diocese of Lake Charles – technical support and labor, Villa Marie where I call BINGO, I am a catechist for Our Lady Queen of Heaven, I feed large groups for Habitat for Humanity, and do research for the Confraternity of Lay History.

SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS
I am a hard worker who is not afraid to learn new skills nor embarrassed to use tried and true methods when it suits the situation. I can organize, facilitate and produce results. I can coordinate and I can mop floors. I am willing to do whatever it takes. Money has never been an issue with me until lately when I realized I haven't had a vacation in twenty years. It would be nice to earn enough to take occasion breaks!
Your consideration will be greatly appreciated.
