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 can spot those kids in a minute in my classroom

Starbright, get this...

when my oldest was in kindergarden, he made friends with Justin. From day one, he and Justin were the best of friends. Whats strange? He and Justin were the ONLY 2 kids (out of 26) that had stay-home-moms.

Now they are in 3rd grade, and yes! they are still best buddies! ;)

On the other hand, ever noticed that Nanny 911 always goes to the houses where Mom stays home?

I am a stay at home mom. Prior to this I was a mental health counselor for adults with mental illness. I was the assistant director of a 36 bed outpatient program. Loved it, miss it. Planning on going back to school when my youngest starts kindergarten - to be a psychiatric nurse.

90% of the time I am a stay-at-home mom to a wonderful almost 4 year old daughter. The other 10% of the time I manage a tattoo studio and I am a body piercer. My baby is starting preschool this year and I will add a few more hours to my work schedule and then next year when she start kindergarten I am going back to school for nursing. (I think) At work I manange 3 artist that act like my almost 4 year old most of the time and I do all of the general shop stuff. I have been in the business almost 10 years and really love it. ~Mandy

Lawyer and mediator. I do estate planning (wills, trusts, etc) and probate litigation (you know, when someone feels Mom loved their sister or brother more than them or can't understand why they were cut out of her will)

I am a Human Resources Manager for an aerospace component manufacturer. I am also a full time student, trying to finish MBA and I have one 7 year old boy. I'm lucky to have a wonderful husband that supports me through this very busy period of my life.

Presently I am an embittered girlfriend working as an office manager for her cheating boyfriend.

My past jobs and soon to be new job was as a Bone Marrow Transplant Nurse. I was RN for 8 years in that field. I also did admin jobs at the Nashville VA hospital when they opened up the BMT unit. I set up policies and procedures, did inservices for all ancillary staff, and trained and preceptored all the other nursing staff for the VA BMT unit.

I am looking to get back into the field of nursing so I am job hunting. Anyone know of a good job for a RN out there?

I am also taking classes for my Bachelor of Holistic Nutrition and Doctor of Naturopathy through Clayton College of Natural Health. Hope to have those degrees sometime in 2008 or 2009.

Mother of 4 only one at home. 17 yr old son that graduates next year. He is my baby.

Penni, I couldn't help but notice your self-description. Are you OK? Dumb question, I know. . .

I'm a full-time legal translator (Spanish/Portuguese) and part-time grad student (English).

I am a certification specialist for New York State Education Dept. I certify teachers, administrators, counselors and social workers. I started off as a secretary and worked my way up. I have been here for 14 years.

I am the Manager of Retail Sales for the State Lottery for my day job.

I work part-time at Wal-Mart in their accounting department. (Fun, I get to count lots of $$$) nights and weekends.

Within the next 2 weeks, I will finish up my career as a software development manager. In June I will begin pastoring a United Methodist Church in a small Texas town, and in August I will begin graduate studies at Southern Methodist Univerisity (in Dallas), which will lead to a Masters of Divinity and, eventually, ordination in the United Methodist Church.

In June, I will also become a single father with residential custody of my two children (10 year old boy, 5 year old girl).

It's going to be a busy few years =)

I retired in June of 2000 after 26 years as a Police Officer.

I also am an associate Professor at the Local college where I now teach in three areas of the college. I teach Motor Vehicle Laws to recruits in the Police Academy, Standardize Field Sobreity Training to certified Police Officer and I do the Motor Vehicle Laws for officers who are being recertified after being out of Law Enforcement for more then two years and for officers from other states who seek employement here in Michigan.

I worked for a year after I retired as a communication officer for Greektown Casino here in Detroit and I just started my 4th year as a 911 operator on midnights for a local police department.(not the one I retired from).

I July I will be adding babysitter to my jobs for my granddaughter Maddy who is scheduled to make her appearance her on earth July 25th. This I am really looking forward to.

I am a single mom with almost 3 year old twins (boy and girl). I work as a medical transcriptionist from home (for a nearby hospital--where my surgery will be!) at night when the kids are asleep. I get in 30-40 hours a week, depending on how it goes! :) I am so lucky I get to be with my kids all day and still able to support us! I am so thankful for that!
