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 Engineering Manager.

Labradoodle ~ You have a great job! I bet you have loads of fun. I've been noticing a lot of ads for the labradoodles lately and the "hybrid" breeds seem to be making a name for themselves. The Labradoodles go for around $1000 here in IN. It's kind of sad to think of all the people that breed for the profit instead of the love of the animals. We just adopted a Jack Russell today from the shelter and also own the BEST chocolate lab in the world. Hope you have a painless & quick recovery so you can get back to your furry friends. Best wishes!

Fascinating reading about the work everyone does. I was an elementary school teacher for 12 years teaching grades 1-6 (10-20 students depending on the year). Loved teaching but burned out and went back to school and got a Masters in Architecture and am now doing my internship, working for a wonderful employer. I will start taking licensing exams in about a year. Hopefully,:nervous

I work for the police dept as a cso (community service officer) I answer phones, questions, write reports. I love it!! Very interesting all the time. I work Fri -Mon and have Tues-Thurs off. It's like a mini vacation every week.
