It's amusing to think I used to work in what was called a Support Function at a personal loan company. I used to hate it and love it. Hate it because it was almost insinuating a lesser role in the company and loved it because it meant I had keys to everywhere and not even the head of IT security had the same access as me. I kinda ran the show...very well considering the tiny amount of work I had to do!
Anyway, the above isn't why I am writing this. It seems that the title of Support Function can still be applied to me today and I am very proud of that. In my current role as Youth Minister to the Parish of St Cecilia in San Francisco; I offer support to Priests, Young People, teachers, and occasionally parents too. This is all well and good but STILL not what I'm referring to.
My friendships are what keep me going and I'm pleased to report that apparently mine can have the same affect on those who help me. Sometimes I'm a listening post for people, a sounding board if you will. Other time I have words to say/type and THIS is what makes me a support function. Something I am INCREDIBLY proud of.
