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 think Dawg and DeLarla lied about what they do.

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

*snickers*

Just another boring nurse! I am a LPN nurse in a clinic and work in Internal Medicine. I also have worked nursing home, hospital and clinic.

Also a mom, wife, and animal taker care of person.

Always wanted to do cosmetology, maybe one day!

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.

I sell insurance....home, auto, commercial....I love it!

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.

HELLO, I AM NOT BANDED YET. HOPE TO DO SO SOMETIME SOON. TRYING TO WORK ON FINDDING A DOCTOR AND FINANCING FOR IT.

I RECENTLY HAD TO GO ON DISABLITY, DUE TO MY HEALTH FELLING MORE MORE, AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORST AS THE DAYS GOES BY.

I WAS ONCE A VOLINTEER MEMBER THAT USE HELP WITH EMERGENCY SITUTIONS AND A 911 DISPATCHER FOR THE COUNTY. BUT I HAD TO LEAVE IT AND MOVE WITH THE FAMILY, TO ANOTHER STATE AND THINGS GOT WORST. COULDN'T FIND A JOB AND LIFE JUST GOING DOWN HILL.

BUT I DO HOPE ONCE THINGS CHANGE WHEN I GET BANDED, I CAN GET MY LIFE BACK, AND GET BACK OUT THERE HELPING PEOPLE AGAIN. I HAVE SPENT MOST OF MY LIFE HELPING OTHERS AND NOT WORRING ABOUT MYSELF. THAT ONE DAY IT ALL CAME DOWN TO MY BODY TELLING ME IT HAD ENOUGH. LOL. AND I WENT IN TO CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE. OH WELL LIFE GOES ON, AND IF THIS WORKS LIKE I HAVE HEARD EVERYONE TALK ABOUT IT. I HOPE TO GET BACK TO THE LAND OF THE LIVING.

( AND FOR ALL YOU STAY AT HOME MOMS,, THANK YOU FOR THE JOBS YOU DO. AND NEVER SAY < I AM JUST A STAY AT HOME MOM> BECAUSE YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT.) :funscale::funscale:

I'm have been an administrative assistant for a chamber of commerce for the last 9 years and love it. Lots of variety and interesting people! We never know what the next phone call or person walking in will need, and it keeps life very interesting!

It's been so much fun to read what everyone does...we are a really varied and amazing bunch of people...lots of talent here!
