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!!

Hi ! I have been an RN for 30 yrs and still working....I work 3 12 hr shifts per week. I love my job in the ER. It is nice to have the 4 days off per week also.

I was just banded 3 days ago....I am doing quite well.

Starting wt 244

Banded by Dr. Laura Machado in Sacramento,Ca.

Sacramento Bariatric Associates (They are great !)

I am an emergency room nurse. I work twelve hour shifts. I get up at 4am to work out before I go the work. I come home around 8:30-9pm. I try not to eat after 7 pm but that does not happen much. My husband works in radiology. Oh and in my spare time I am raising 3 year old twins :>

I'm from Sacramento! My family still lives there and my aunt is thinking about the lap band. I will tell her about Sacramento Bariatric Associates. Thanks for the reference! It's amazing what you learn by reading these threads.

I'm a freelance writer/editor. I have to be careful what I eat when I'm on deadline. The nervous energy in the room effects digestion. I keep it light for those few days...soups, fruit, the strawberry/banana drink at Jamba Juice.

The mag I work comes out quarterly;so those light days are far between.

Before my car accident I was an elevator constructor. Since then I have been an elevator operator at construction sites bringing fellow tradesmen and there tools up and down. Hence my name goingup. Maybe someday after I loose some weight I may return to construction.

I'm an Administrative Assitant to an Officer of a major corporation, he tells me I'm the boss....but I don't get his paycheck...

I am a registered nurse working in oncology for the past 4 1/2 years. Before that I worked in labor and delivery for 10 years.

DA (Double Agent) with the Geek Squad (www.geeksquad.com , not advertising - but for those who don't know what it is I do, this might give you an idea).

Yes I drive around in one of those Geek Mobiles (Geek Squad VW bugs -- have you seen me around the DE, NJ, PA area? Have I come and done work for you???? lmao).

Love this new job, been doing PC work for almost 16 years, and can't get enough of it!!!!

Of course, having been an ex-sonarman onboard submarines (was attached to 3 differnt ones during my career) they tell me my insanity comes from the lack of sunshine and 'real' oxygen - truth be told, I was born nutty!!

I'll be a full time student in college, again in the fall. I took this semester off, due to moving in the middle of semester. So right now, I'm just a pretend housewife. :mad:

I have been an RN for the last 30 years. I have been in administration the past 19 years.

I have been a stay-at-home mom for the last 5 yrs and loved most of it. :mad: Previously, I have been in sales and admin.

OT...Pattman...were you a "spook"?

I work at a museum, currently as the Coordinator of Volunteers, though I also do all the geeky stuff (web page, brochures, ads). It's a fun place to work. Come visit if you're ever in Waco. http://www.maybornmuseum.com

Used to have my own web design business, but needed a steady paycheck.
