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 work for a consulting agency. For this company (so far) I:

Do all the books, bills, payroll, HR needs, etc.

Web and graphic design

print banner designs (they aren't printed yet, but I'm excited)

Quality Assurance (make sure websites work)

Customer Service/Funding/Collections stuff if needed

And whatever else I may have forgotten to mention ;)

I am an elementary school teacher, grade 5, whose children notice every minute change, ie, nailpolish hair color, new shoes....... can't wait to be banded to see if they notice that!!!

I'm a financial accountant (not a CPA) I do every aspect of accounting for small companies. It's pretty interesting and I like what I do.

I am a desktop publisher/graphic designer for a major Cincinnati newspaper

Im just a mom!

Ohh please! U wont find any of us mom's here buying that! JUST A MOM.........that is an oxi moron if I have ever heard one! HUGE HUGE HUGE job sweetie.

As for me. I work 3 days a week for 12 hours. I am a single mom and this works better for me so I can have 4 days with my baby. But man do those long days SUCK! I do accounting...........BORING

Stay-at-home mom here. My daughter is 5 and just graduated Kindergarten. My son is 2. My hubby is a Lisenced General Contractor and is self-employed. He does all kinds of remodeling work. He also built our house. wow!

In my former life, pre-kids, I was a Program Manager for Group Homes for a private Non-Profit agency that provides services for adults with developmental disabilities. I supervised 6 group homes which house 5-6 adults whose primary diagnoses were Mild to Moderate Mental Retardation. I LOVED the work, even tried to go back between kids but it wasn't working. I never realized how much of my job I took home with me when it was just me and hubby. Can't have that with kids, so when it was time for baby #2, I quit. Never looked back. Much.

I'll have to go back to work one of these days, so I hope to get a job in the brand new hospital that opened last fall just up the road. Don't know what I'll do there? Something entry-level, see what happens. It will be a pay cut, but I just need to make enough, not alot. We have 208,000 miles on our minivan, scary!!!! New van? Get job!!!

My most important job is being the mother of my adorable 4 year old daughter Madeline. In my other job I work as a pharmacist in the VA Hospital in Memphis. I would MUCH rather be a stay at home MOM. Oh Well!

I work at a high school (the high school I graduated from!) in the special education department. I am a one to one aide to a student with special needs. I love my job there, but love my "job" raising my son, who is 8, who also has Down syndrome, more! He is a lot of work, but ohh soo worth it. Sometimes ya gotta be creative...but he has by far taught me more than i have taught him! Then there is my job at the Haunted House... I do construction there, planning for events, and Im an actor there. I also am a floater...what ever the boss needs me to do, I do. Its a great stress release...Check us out on the web..the site isn't up right now, but soon will be .. www.terrordome.com

Ohh please! U wont find any of us mom's here buying that! JUST A MOM.........that is an oxi moron if I have ever heard one! HUGE HUGE HUGE job sweetie.

Yeah with Paula it is.. mostly when her little girl decides to clean her closet again LOL

Registered Nurse(Emergency dept), but what I really want to be is a stay-at-home mom... Just need the kids and hubby to make more money..*lol*

To all you Just A Mom! You are doing a very important job out there. When I was little, 95% of women were Just A Mom. Life was sure different. I applaud all the Moms , home or working that make their children a prioirty. I can spot those kids in a minute in my classroom, Special bless to the lady who is a special ed. aide. My grandson, Ryan, 9, has muscualar dystrophy, (Friedrich's Ataxia) ((Awareness day, May 21, ))) has an aide that is like his legs, arms and heart. Also, another bless for your own child who needs you so much. They do teach us, don't they?
