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'm a Dept Tech for the State of Michigan dept of State. Any michiganders need help with driver and vehicle stuff, I'm your woman! :)

I'm a full time grad student working on my Masters of Music at the Manhattan School of Music because I am studying to be a professional opera singer! At school, I coordinate all the Special Events and party planning with the Office of Student Affairs, and I looking for a new Church job (singing on Sunday mornings)

Let me just say, I LOVE NYC...

I just graduated from my undergrad in Manhattan from Juilliard and it was the most fun ever! I am about to get my first apartment away from my parents and I am a full time mommy to 2 big parrots, fish, and a dwarf hamster.

For work, this summer I am interning with the government in my home state of maryland... and getting banded on July 5th.

I go back to NYC in late August... as a whole different person with a much healthier lifestyle.

I am a Project Manager for an Exhibit House. I handle tradeshow arrangments for our clients. I love it. :biggrin1:

Absolutely Nothing and It's Wonderful.LOL. I do excerise tho but I want to.I am retired from Banking.Early retirement. I do some volunteer work

and chat with judy and ali on chat line. Travel some and just hang out.

Going to lunch tomorrow with four new lapband friends.:lol:

I'm a full-time food service manager for the state Deaf school. I've worked in restuarants and bakeries-managing and cooking.

At the same time I'm in school full-time getting my degree in business management so as to get the hell out of the kitchen. I should still be working in food, but I hope on the manufacturing or selling end of things. Not in production where it gets served and stuffed into the mouths.

I'm also a single momma to a 4 year old little girl. Getting back to school is long over due-nothing like wanting to provide a better life for my child to motivate me!:lol:

My first job was as a coffee-boy and food server back in 1962 (between high school and college).

The next summer, I worked as a truck loader for the 7-Up soda company.

Then I dropped out of school and worked as an installer for the NY Telephone company.

I went back to school and dropped out again to be a Rock & Roll Band and Go-Go Girl manager for a few years. When many of the musicians of my 3 bands got drafted and "Topless" came out discouraging 6 or my 7 dancers, I went to work for a major airline as an Electronics mechanic which I stayed at for almost 35 years.

I also found time to load and drive fresh chicken trucks for three weeks between the Rock & Roll/Go-Go girl gig and the airline job.

I worked part time driving a delivery truck for about 7 years while working the airline job, spent some time working in a junk yard (auto scrap yard) cutting up vehicles, drove a taxi on week-ends for a while and then I had a business on the side fixing cars for airline cabin attendants for about 10 years while working for the airline.

After retiring from the aircraft machanics job in 2001 and moving to Florida in 2003, I worked for about 8 months for a major home-improvement retail chain.

That's about it.

I'm a budding massage therapist, and until that pans out, I work in a mortgage company. Getting banded on July 24 (if all goes well, until I wake up from the procedure, I won't consider it done, until its done.)

I have been a soil conservationist for USDA for almost 18 years . It is a fun job because I get to work outdoors plus its a mainly male dominated environment!!:eek:

an owner of a summer cheerleading camp and a summer basketball camp. I also raise a couple of kids who I often want to exchange back at the hospital that they were all birthed at for three new ones!!! (now that I think I know what I am doing- I'd do a better job mothering ) only kidding I love them but teenagers area b*&%$!!! I still want to finish my degree in education ar some point which i put on hold to have kids....

I'm starting a new studio after 12 years teaching in Michigan. I teach one day a week until I can gather more students. Guess which day I'm least hungry?

:eek:

Used to be a nurse, but have been a stay at home mom for the last 10 years to my wonderful 9yo daughter, Savannah.:)
