My job

[Humanafterall]

I juggle.......... flames........... of fire.........

How about you?

To those who know me, the first sentence was what I call literary sarcasism.

To those who don't know me, OWWWWIE....... fire is hot. ;)

[stephy379]

I work at a roller skating rink...it's not as great as it sounds, haha. They actually have a website if any of you wanna check it out or whatever. http://www.skatinstation2.com/ (http://www.skatinstation2.com/) Yep, that's what it looks like on the outside...there aren't really any pictures of it on the inside though, oh well.

Well, the DJ has a whole booklet of CD's dating back into the 90's just in case someone wants some old school music. And the DJ gets to pick the songs and so it is like blaring our own music in a way, haha.

[Humanafterall]

Well actually. I have a lot of things I have accomplished.

I wrote a poetry book called 'Human After All'.

I drew up and designed my own wheelchair accessible home.

I am slooooowly starting up a consulting business. I want to help people find products and provide a service to allow my clients to stay as independent as possible in their own house.

and on the weekends I juggle....flames on fire. Good gig, extremely high burnout though. Dunno why.....hmmmm. :astonished: Something to research I guess

[ellenuk]

I have just qualified as a nurse and in my spare time i volunteer with an organisation called vides UK working on one of the management groups and have just returned from 3 weeks in Kenya working in the slums of nairobi.:)

[photo-nut]

Oh Kate, I know you so well, You are a great fire juggler. Don't worry about the burning embers on your legs.

I am a FULL time mom and I also care for my 87 year old mother in law who has pretty much lost most of her eyesight. She can see the color of my shirt but most days she says I don't have a head. :p I also help one of my older sister in laws. She has a mental disorder and doesn't drive either so I also take her to doctor appointments and I either take them grocery shopping or do it myself along with my own grocery shopping. :d_wacko:

Don't get me wrong. I love living here with my husband's family now. We just moved from California and I like it better here. I love the weather and I adore my in laws. But I could really use a little vacation. :g_kaffee::g_kuchen:

[Kristen101]

im in high school and almost 17...that's a job all on it's own ;)

[jlilest]

I was a computer programmer from late 1982 until the end of 2005.

I am currently going to school online with DeVry for a bachelor degree in computer information systems aimed at security.

Hey James, my brother went to DeVry in L.A. . It was a lot of hard work but he liked it. He's into computors too. He graduated about...........hmmm............17 years ago. He's got a great job. You'll be glad you did it. :)

I did my programming at two hosiery mills, so the equipment and software were pretty obsolete by the end. While I love programming, I figured security was something that would be needed forever. :)

I am going to school in my recliner. You would not believe the traffic during the commute. ;)

[socalisa]

In my full-time career I work for a biotech/pharmaceutical company as a clinical research associate (CRA). I get to travel to a lot of different places and meet new people with my job. It can be long hours and layovers and meals on the run, but I love the excitement of going to a town I've never been to before. Or, returning to a town that I spend a lot of time in and discovering new things about it each trip.

My part-time job is now philanthropic ring-leader for TEAM ELLEN!!! Personally, if I had my druthers, I'd prefer to become a full-time philanthrope. If I ever get the chance to meet Ellen, I'm going to suggest to her that she start her own foundation, The Ellen DeGeneres Children and Animals First Foundation, or something like that, and ask her if I can work for her on charitable causes. I'm doing okay with this birthday gig, so why not?
:)

[drummonger]

I monitor alarms for a home security company. We serve customers all over the east coast. In other words, if a burglary or fire (etc.) alarm goes off at a home or business, I am the one that calls the cops. I sent the police to an actual hold-up alarm at a convenience store Wednesday. Shots were fired, but no one was seriously injured. I LOVE my job.

[DrinkBottle]

I used to have a job as a basketball ref and got paid 2 bucks an hour. No joke... It was sad... Once I forgot my whistle and had to pay $9 for a new one, so I actually lost money that day... ><"

[ponies]

Web Designer and Developer for an internet services company that works with universities and non-profits. I manage the web development group of 17 developers. Outside of that I have written technical books for Prentice Hall.

[luv2laugh]

I am a Supervisor for a lady who owns eight McDonald's Restaurants.

To earn money during studying i've worked tonnes of jobs including postman, cleaner, nightshift warehouse work, nightshift stacking shelves at supermarket, shopkeeper in a garden centre, but right now i earn about £300 a week buying and selling simpsons toys, i think i've found my niche.

I'm an air-conditionig and refrigeration engineer. It's an alright job, just can't wait to get my qualifications to start earning some good money.

[YesIam]

I’m electric designer. But i don,t do that job just now. I have really had almost 15 different jobs. just now i,m working in Finnis post office as a postman. ( I know it sounds terrible) but i like it. It keeps me fit. I diliver mail by bike, almost 20 km per day. Rain or shine. In the winter time it is hard when snow is in waist deep and it is -20 degrees, but that only makes it
‘’fun‘’. Now come to think of it, i really have to get another job, the winter is coming…:d_shocked:

[sweden]

I'm 14 so I go to school :D

[zoeak]

I'm a teacher, almost, an in-house substitute, at a middle school, so whatever teachers are out on any given day, I fill in for. Eventually I plan to go back to school and actually get a teaching degree for English and Spanish, but at the moment I'm really loving the variety of getting to work in all the different subjects.

[jjjoan]

Well years ago my job is about FIRE too …..mmmm Hahaaaa I’m a part time instructor at a pottery studio years ago. I like to do pottery. Oh man that ready a HOT HoooOT thing in the studio with the Kiln with firing up to 900 to 1300 degree Celsius. Is a lot of fun to play with clay, glazing, firing, and also need to spend a lot of time. My full time job is interior design. And now I do freelance interior design. Most of time I work with men (those contractor, carpenter, tiller, electrician, plumber…) I never wear dress to jobsite never ever. So is not kindna fascinating designer works people through. Hahaha……..:D

[tcsced]

I work in a store with a frame shop in the back...which basically means I frame pictures for people! It is a lot of fun!!! I get to look at all the stuff people put in their houses...you wouldn't believe what some people think looks good...:p, but I guess we all have our own preferences...LOL!!! So needless to say, I have all my stuff matted and framed hanging on my wall in my room...it all looks so professional...LOL!

I've framed everything for people! Regular pictures, paintings, drawings, and then there's the crazy stuff that I have to build shadowboxes for like: Jerseys, baby clothes, quilts, medals, I even had to build a huge shadowbox to put a violin in one time! Yeah, the guy was crazy!!

Oh, and I go to school...been in college for over three years and still don't know what I want to do! I hate it!!!

I LOVE my job though!!!:)

my g/f is a specialist on autisme in the eastpart of holland. in holland there is a discussion about autism and vaccins. a lot of parents think that heir child has autism because of those vaccins.

autism can't be cured. you have it for life but there are therapies that teaches you to cope with it and to interact with people. but autism is for life. did you ever hear of aba/dtt???

[Branwen]

I'm a Document Controller for an engineering company. I look after all the drawings, specs and other crap (oops i mean important information! :wacko:) for Engineering Procurement Contract Management projects. I contract around so i get to see different jobs...mining primarily in West Aust and some places in Africa. I work usually from the city so it suits me :D
Hoping to use these skills in Canada if my gf and i can get let into the country LOL :p

[untitled]

After i had finished my diploma, i started working rotating shift (9am-9pm/9pm-9am) at one of the engineering company. Although i got quite a fine salary from the rotating shift, i was really tired of doing night shift so i decided to quit.:cool:I tell you what surfing the net the whole night and working the whole night is different stories that i know very well:(. Now, i'm working on morning shift (7:30am-7:45pm) as engineering assistant. Sometimes, i hate to work long hours but i like to get the day off when most of the people are working cause my off days normally fall on weekdays. I'm planning to study for my degree in next year january.

[AnastasiaBeavrhausen]

I have a BA in teaching but due to the fact that I was so sick last year, I am on disability because my lungs are shot and I'm trying to quit smoking... OMG its hard. But I never did teach, got too scared of the kids... haha, no, I just have to finish my student teaching if I ever want to go back. I work also as a freelance graphic designer at my church and make wedding videos on the side for fun...

So in other words, I'm a bum right now... addicted to Fox News and Ellen.

[ellenstar]

LOL - yep it is, but sometimes when we get bored we just sort of estimate.

:) Actually, I don't really count things - my job is cool, I get to work with other researchers and analyse their data and say whether the stuff they are testing is working or not. I work with HIV, TB and Malaria projects.

So I basically count how many have the diease and after treatment who doesn't and if thats a significant change. Yeah I know I'm :wacko:.

I'm a midshipman, my third year of Naval College will begin next monday :), still 3 years to go!

[tankgirl]

I'm an Assistant Director in the British Film Industry but, as recessions always hit us hard, I'm working as an agency gardener. I must admit I enjoy it but I don't make as much money as AD-ing (about 1/3 what I'm usually on) so it looks like I'm going to have to sell my house. Bummer.

Still, at least I've got a job and about to relaunch myself on the remnants of the film biz.

Think positive - "Never give up. Never surrender"

Pru :D

[JodieLee]

I do an apprenticeship as a media designer (graphic designer)
we design for exhibitions, airplanes, cars... and drinking a lot of coffee. :p
It is so exciting I just LOVE MY JOB! :cool:

[Vee]

I am a Killick Chef in the Royal Navy. Life is pretty good but the days/weeks at sea can be long at times. I am enjoying this time being in home port. Being able to get home and spend time with the family and friends. :)
