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 an analyst for a major mutual fund / investment company in Houston (reconciling bank accounts for one of the 3 Houston-based divisions). We have a presence in Houston, Denver, Atlanta, Toronto, London, and Hong Kong.

I am in training to sell health/vision/dental/life insurance on the side.

Interesting how many nurses there are. Most of my clients (for Reiki and massage therapy) were nurses too.

I am a Certified Colon Hydrotherapist (Colon Irrigation) and own my own business. I have an RN in training to do what I do. I have another GI-RN interested in going to school to learn what I do. Most of my clients are nurses working long hours..I am in the Santa Clarita Valley (Magic Mountain), California

I'm a nurse, currently working for an insurance company. It's MESSA, the teachers insurance in Michigan - a great company to work for. I did clinical work for 30 years in ER, Labour and delivery, psychiatric and home care. Nursing has been very good to me in terms of doing lots of different kinds of work over the years with lots of flexibility when the kids were small.

I'm a Systems/Network Administrator for a small engineering firm. I'm a geek who works with geeks! Actually, the engineers are way geekier than me (I hope, anyway)! Its a great place to work, lots of fun, and the owners are real gems. I'm very lucky!

I am a cancer registrar at a major medical center in Provo, UT. I love what I do, and everyone is very supportive where I work.

I am a recovering Corporate Travel Administrator, and have been a stay at home mom for 2 1/2 years (since my son was 5 months old). I hope to go to bible college and go to work in ministry when I return to the "working" world.

For the record, staying at home with a child is way harder than any "work" I've ever done. :confused:

I am a Supply Systems Analysts for Dept of Defense. Have been employed by them for 35 yrs. Someday, when I grow up, I hope to retire and do something more rewarding. For now....the pay is great!!

Resort Property Manager/Owner of Bail Bonds Company(I am a Bonds Agent too, and Bounty Hunter when I lose them)

After 20 years in the printing field, I quit my job to be a full-time mom and a inhome daycare provider. ( I think the $11,000 in daycare charges the year before had a lot to do with it.) My kids love having me at home - so does the hubby.

I am a pediatric ICU nurse. Came from the adult ICU world last year and just love my job. I work with kids with cancer. They are so awesome.
