What does everyone do for a living?

I noticed a lot of you girl and guys are on during morning hours and less at night so im thinkin you all are at work. Im a stay at home mom and i redeliver newspapers to people who did not get them on the weekends...

I dont work right now as much because i have gotten to a point where i feel almost embarrassed to get a job. I have a hard time working in an office because i dont have the right clothing to wear and anything that looks office appropriate in my size is like 35 years older than me..;):D Well the benefits of seeing my daughter grow up right now are far greater than an office job so for now its ok, but i can be a sit on my azz mom forever....its time to get moving and get my career goin....

So anyway just curious what you all do for a living and basically just tryin to get a feel for you all.

p.s. i dont think ive ever used "you all" in a post so many times!!

I am a Regional Sales Manager for a Mortgage Bank. I manage 18 Type A high maintenance Account Executives and also run our National Marketing Group.

More importantly, I am a Mom to my wonderful little 11 month old boy, Ben. My husband is a stay at home Daddy. I think his job is harder than mine!!!!

This seems like a good place for a newbie to start posting!

I'm a Work at Home Mom for my two kids, a boy 16 who is a junior in hs, and a girl age 11 in 6th grade. They keep me busy with Soccer, Scouts, Art classes etc.

For income and basic sanity, I've been a Skin Care Consultant with Mary Kay Cosmetics for the past 17 years. I love my job! I get to help women (mostly) with their skin care needs and play with make up.

Prior to MK and Motherhood, I worked with abused children and thier families, helping to reunite foster children with their parents by teaching their parents basic life skills they lacked. I was also working on my Master's degree in Agency Counseling.

I also spent a couple of years working for a financial media company that is a popular Internet website. That was fun.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.

Always ;-)

:bandit I'm the G.M. of a Community Center in a small Minnesota town. It has a fitness center that I never used for five years, until the banding. I've been able to use my 90 lb. loss to encourage others. I know I should've been a better "poster boy" for fitness over the bigger years, but at the end of the day it's still performance that matters in the work-place.

Get out and go get em!

I noticed a lot of you girls and guys are on during morning hours and less at night so im thinkin you all are at work.

At work yes, but apparently fooling around online instead of doing actual work! Good to know I’m not the only one, LOL

I’m a software project implementation manager

I forgot to mention that in addition to teaching, I am a mom to 12 and 17 year old sons, 25 yr old daughter, 8 year old grandaughter, 3 mini weenie dogs and 2 mutts.

I also care for my mom (on hospice) and have been doing so for 5 and a half years. She was completely incapacitated(can't walk, talk, toilet) due to obesity which resulted in diabetes and stroke.

Open Source Application Developer. Program in PHP, HTML, Python and mySQL. Also a web admin for web servers running Apache and MS IIS 6.0.

I've been a Mercury Insurance agent (auto & home) the last 4 years. Before that I was a freelance graphic designer for 12 years.

The professions are so similar!

:rolleyes

(I'm planning to write the Great American Novel in my next reincarnation!)

Ha! So great to know what folks do!!

I'm a writer, poetry mostly. And, since that doesn't pay well (yep, when was the last time *you* bought a book of poems?) I am also a Prof. of English.

My dh and I own two businesses: romantic gondola cruises in Newport Beach (CA), Lake Las Vegas (NV), Irving (Dallas area, TX), Myrtle Beach (SC), and soon to open in Orlando (FL) -- see www.gondola.com. My dh also performs wedding ceremonies in Southern California -- www.YouMayKissTheBride.com -- and I run the office for him.

Hey -- if anyone wants a gondola cruise in any of our locations, I can give you a special LBT discount :)

In addition to that, we homeschool our two daughters ages 8 (3rd grade) and 5 (kindergarden).

<whew> Makes me tired just typing it!

I want a work at home Job and cant find a way to get connected to that.. All my searching on the internet doesnt seem reliable..

Like medical transcription.. I could do that..

I have a few friggin degrees

My full time job is a service technician for lift truck batteries, I have been a volunteer firefighter for 10 years now(and counting). I am currently awaiting medical discharge orders from the National Guard, I spent 13 years between active duty and weekend warrior. I also am a member of the local ruritan club and amateur radio club.

But my favorite job is being a husband to the most wonderful woman and father to a great daughter. Without them supporting me, I am afraid to think where I would be.
