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.. 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 teach English in an alternative high school; this is the kind of school that offers a diploma program, not a discipline alternative school. I LOVE my work, and the kids that make it so great! I will begin my 18th year of teaching in the fall, well, August, actually. I am betting on my kids to be my ultimate supporters.

My son just graduated from an Alternative school. It was just the best place for him. He just couldn't cut it in a school with classes with 30-40 kids, over 3K students in the entire school. His alternative school had classes with 5-15 kids. Some kids were there because they had babies, others were there because they lived out on their own.

I work as an editor for a private publishing company in Washington, D.C. I've always dreamed of making my living as a novelist, but I lack the discipline. Hard to believe after 16 years of meeting deadlines at work, but it's true!

Now I do technical support for a webcam chat community with over 2 million members.

Quite the change in careers, but I love my job and it gives me time to roam the boards through out the day heh

Best of luck with new job Jess!

I am starting a new job next week - I'm an 'Optical Dispenser' - well I was 5 yrs ago and will be again next week! Basically I am a glorified receptionist, I get to help people pick out their glasses and choose lenses as well as all the paperwork. But its fun.

I am a bit nervous going back after 5yrs though and dont even talk to me about work clothes

I also have a Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours) with majors in Psychology and History - minors in English Lit, Linguistics and Classics.

I want to do another Arts Degree and study - philosophy, anthropology, gender studies and art history. (and more english and history lol)
