SATUI BENTIN

26 October 99

Hello everyone.

I've finally had the courage to put my 'colourful' life after Douglas and James' confessions below. You will note that Jebbie has put a little blurp on the Samco website "...there are names also included in this site ... left us along the way for various reasons". I'm happy to say that I'm one of those that "left" for various reasons - yes, I got kicked
out of SamCo in 1983 hence my not being in the 1984 list of beauties! Some of you will probably remember me back then as a real pain in the butt - well I have progressed from there to being an exclusive pain in the butt!
Okay here goes:
1983 - Got kicked out of SamCo
1984 - Temporary at the Education Dept., Examinations Unit (if you know anyone that sat the National Form 2
            exam in 1984 - please pass them my apologies - I marked their papers and had fun doing it! (ha! ha!)
1985 - Library Assistant at USP School of Agriculture in Samoa
1986 - Limping along (USP, Samoa)
1987 - More pronounced limp (USP, Samoa)
1988 - Now on crutches! (still at USP, Samoa)
1989 - Married in July 1989 - had my son in December 1989 (some people say it was a shot-gun wedding, well it was!
           I got pregnant so that I could marry the poor guy who was about to dump me at the time (ha! ha!)
1991 - Canberra Univ. for BA in Library & Info. Science
1994-99 - SPREP Information Resource Centre Manager (don't let the title put you off - it just means SPREP
            Librarian but these people lo..o..v..e big impressive looking titles!) Actually I got promoted in 1998 to
            IRCM but otherwise I've always been known as SLIC (94-98).
2000 - As with James, contract runs out April 2000 in SPREP, any takers?
