I am an Onsite Recruiter for a temporary staffing agency. I recruit specifically for one client, and I keep offices at each one of their sites. So basically I give people jobs!!!!

I did this for 13 years but was only onsite at a customer's location for about 3 years. I sure don't miss the stress but it was a cool job.

I'm a Technical Writer, currently in the mining industry but was in IT for 15 years before that. I write Operating Manuals and Safe Work Instructions for the people running the machinery on the mine. I work an 8 day on/6 day off roster (12 hour days) away on a very remote mine site in the Kimberley region in the far north of Western Australia. I live in Perth, WA, so my commute to work is 3,000km each way :unsure:

I teach first grade at a private elementary school. I love the school. Before this year I always taught 4th grade, and next year am REALLY hoping to go back to 4th. I think the stress of first grade has made it difficult to lose weight.... bah.

I'm a librarian at a University. I deal with rare books, manuscripts, and archives. I'm also the University records manager - that part is freakin' boring.

I'm also a Mom. My beautiful 11 yr old daughter is quite the dancer, so being a Dance Mom takes up lots of my time as well.

Right now I am a PT sales assoc for Toys R Us. But most important I am a mother of 2 beautiful boys 8 and 4 and an Army Wife. I used to be an LPN in Illinois but haven't taken my state test for Alaska. I really want to go back to school to get my Vet tech.... I almost love animals more then people... LOL They seem to appreciate the way you care for them more. I worked for 5 years as a vet assistant.... *volunteer* my mother called it. She is a Vet... LOL Then after that worked in a nursing home. Where I decided to become and LPN. Never wanted to go RN. I guess it is like I wanna be a Vet tech not go all the way Vet. Dunno I love being a mommy most of all.....:)

I want to be a Vet Tech so badly.

I worked at a vet for a while and loved it, but you can't live on $8 and hour. Where I live, that's about average, even with schooling.

Yea, that's about average pay here too. My sister used to do it. With all the money vets make, they could afford to pay more.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
