What does everyone do for a living?

I think Dawg and DeLarla lied about what they do.

They actually post messages on LBT all day long for a living.

I thought I responded to this. :) Ignore if it's duplicate.

I'm a "Senior Learning & Development Consultant" with one of the top F500 companies. That's not meant to brag at all, that's meant to say - "I"m f-in busy!" What that means in reality is that it's my job to figure out what people need to know about a new thing, or what knowledge gaps they have about an existing thing, and fill those gaps. It's also my job to look at how people do their jobs and figure out what we (the organization) can do to make them faster/more effective/more effecient/more motivated... you name it. In summary, it's the study behind how people learn & perform, and the science behind "training".

I also own my own business with DH, a web design/development company, specializing in small businesses. DH works as a Sr. Sys Admin, but also does freelance computer/network setup, DB backbone setup, etc. And I also contract to small businesses and/or local schools to review their curriculum and consult with them on what they can do to improve their instructional integrity.

I am a field assistant to a supervisor on a construction sight. I work in the office on sight and I love it. I also do computer work for the St. Louis Foster Care Coalition on the side. I work with all men and I have to be careful not to pick up some of the bad language.

I have been a kindergarten teacher for the last 11 years, but found out last month that the school will be closing in June (small, private school).

Now I have to find something new to do. I've been thinking of a franchise...teaching technology classes to students ages 3 years to 12 years.

We'll see.....

I am a childcare provider and have been for 24 yrs. I blame alot of my weight problem on that. You would think with all the moving around that I do I wouldn't be overweight - but I guess the eating wrong has made up for it completely.

Hi,

I am a career teacher. The first 16 years, I taught social studies to jr. high kids and history & sociology at the high school level. I got tired of hall duty, discipline, and 160 kids per day, went back to school and became certified to teach students with visual impairments. Now I have 19 students, aged 9 months to 20 years old. Some are "just" visually impaired, some are totally blind, 2 are deaf and blind, I have 3 Braille readers, and several kids with multiple impairments.

So everyday is a new experience! Gone are the days of asking a class, "Have I already told you this?" No more term papers to grade, but reams of special ed paperwork.

I love it, absolutely love it.

Colleen

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
