Bear in mind that anything you read here is highly subjective.
My name is Jo Ellen Gill. I am a forty-something native Houstonian. (That's the un-subjective part)
I quit to go back to school at the University of Houston and got a Masters in Education and a teaching certification. While in school I started working for SAGA Transport, a french-owned freight forwarding company. I worked there as a software developer and trainer for the next twelve years. I liked it, especially the travel. For a while I worked on a contract writing computer based training programs for a chemical processing company. I liked that, too. I spent two years as a business analyst at Shell Energy, in downtown Houston. I enjoyed trying to figure out the tunnel system. Now I'm working for Reliant Energy. When I figure out doing what, I'll let you know.
I now live in my hometown, just a few blocks from my parents. This is something of a tradition in my family; my sister actually lives across the street from my parents, her sister-in-law is five houses down from me, and I have a cousin that lives about 5 streets over. About six years ago we moved into a new (for us) house. I'm still unpacking.
I am married to a wonderful man, Rob, and we have two daughters, Taylor (from my first marriage) and Jessica (from his first marriage), and a son, Logan, who was quite a surprise.
We mostly just hang out with family and friends. We enjoy movies, Renaissance Faires, Celtic events, and watch way too much television.
Life is good.
