and a JEDI

[Melysande]

Production Copyeditor. I get paid to read. (I just wish I got paid to read stuff I actually LIKE.)

[Phoenix Blue]

I'm an Oracle Programmer by day and a Computer Geek by night. :p But I only get paid for the daytime work.

[WandererInGray]

I'm a professional slacker....:D....okay, okay, I work for the government, isn't that the same thing?

[Melysande]

I still say I think I should finish losing this weight and then just apply for a job as an exotic dancer. They make so much more money. And dancing is definitely a fun way to keep in shape.

[Medusa @ Dawn]

Melysande:

When you get out here remind me to take you to PT's. There's an amateur stage and we can both make some money...

I've been threatening to do it anyways!

And now since I have no Recons wanting my attention I think I'll just say forget it all...

*edited text added*

BTW: I'm a work from home mom. I run errands and filings for a local law firm. I sell Avon & Pampered Chef. I homeschool 3 kids. I do periodic child care for the Pagan community. I'm on the BoD of Denver Area Pagan Resources. I'm the lead volunteer for Colorado SpiralScouts. Hmmm... what else can I do to fill in the empty spaces of time?

[cherrywind]

Full-time student, part time cook

[Phoenix Blue]

What empty spaces?

[Armitage]

Right now I write and illustrate for a small local magazine, going to look into something full-time at a bookstore soon so I can move out.

[Dellit Tandannon]

i currently work full time in a liquor store and am interviewing as often as possible for a computer programming position. at this point i'd jump on the chance to do bitch-work so long as it got me somewhere in the technical field :p

[Isis]

Hey there!

Well I'm in the airline industry! As a matter of fact I'm heading over to the British Isles and then the Persian Gulf tomorrow......so ya'll know I'm grabbing up as much positive energy as I can, LOL!


I love my job, and I'm praying right now that I can get myself based back in my hometown, so my son and I can spend much more time together!

[Mithrea]

I'm a full time grad student. I teach freshman comp at a nearby college and soon I will be starting a part time job in a new bookstore/coffee shop/learn to play chess store. I also write scripts for a local production company and am working on a chapter for a philosophy anthology due out next summer.

[Lavender]

I'm a scheduler. I schedule the set up guys and the techincal people for events at a major sporting facility. I work parttime (6 hours a day) here and I work every second Saturday at a soapmaking supply place. Heh! That's my favourite job...they pay me to talk about my hobby all day long! :D

My ideal job would be a kindergarten teacher! I mean, how hard can it be to mix up finger paint?! And you get summers off! (j/k...no offense to any kindergarten teachers here.)

[xjsjaglvr]

I am a writer.

[Myst]

software & web developer by contract

also gestating a baby in my spare time :D

[Valnorran]

Right now I'm a security guard at a hospital. Basically, my job involves wandering deserted, echoing halls whistling the theme to Wallace & Grommet and making sure doors are locked. Two good things about my job: I have a lot of time alone and I have thirteen hours to think about stuff.

Attempted to be a cop. Graduated first in my class at the academy. Found out I'm much too nice and practice live and let live far too assiduously to be able to enforce law.

Taught history for a couple of years in public high and middle schools. Got out because the public education system is a sinking ship, and the band doesn't even know any good tunes to play while we're going down.

Love to write, especially fantasy. I have one book published that has sales that are *ahem* modest, to put it kindly. I'm working on another. Basically, in my neck of the woods, if you aren't in law, medicine, or the oil field you can pretty much forget about prosperity.

In France, all writers are important. In England, no writer is important. In America, only successful writers are important. In Louisiana, you have to explain what a writer is (a quote from Geoffrey Cotterell shamelessly modified for my own purposes).

[Old Witch]

But I'm leaving this in six weeks to be a director of development for my daughters school........summers off from now on!!!! I also volunteer heavily with Safe Streets and my local neighborhood community.

[Psyche Ague]

This summer I'm working at the customer service desk at the local mall. But in the autumn I'm a full-time freshman student (with, I hope, a part time job) at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania.

[Draven31]

Oh Wildchild, after reading all your creative posts, I think that you would be an AMAZING kindergarten teacher. I teach sixth graders. Oh, I love the content area, and that kids are at that age where they are beginning to think rationally. My students would sometimes tutor the kindergarten students on sight words and addition problems. Let me tell, those kindergarten students take up so much energy. I don't think that kindergarten is my cup of tea.

[StarryDancer]

I locate, develop and track affordable housing options for low-income persons with mental illnesses, a challenge in this market of ever-dwindling resources. Half of my job is tracking stuff, half is developing stuff, and the other half is teaching people about how to get subsidies and find places to use 'em!

Oh, and I volunteer at a shelter in Salem, hold hands with my friends who are all going through the coping with elder parents stage, cook, clean, and garden for my home, and also do......(drum roll please!) liturgical dancing.

I think I'll go take a nice nap now.

[Kalosi]

I work in a Native-owned casino as an administrative assistant for one of the many departments. Most of the time I sit at a computer, but my favorite part of the job is working with our guests - there are so many different types of people to enjoy!!

[Earthcup]

Spends her mornings as a lowly retail clerk trying to earn a paycheck without being promoted......

Although that has to change because I gotta make some money therefore I'll end up in some management position I'll hate because I'm responsible.... :ack:

[Flaire-FireStar]

Site Pet and Professional Time Waster (aka student)

Will probably be going into accounting or that sort of field. ;)

[flar7]

Well, in the words of Lt. Dan off of "Forrest Gump",

"I'm living off the government's tit!"


also student

lover
writer
patient

in no particular order.

[Emy]

[Scarlettvixen]

[Illuminatus]

I am a Validation Engineer in the Telecom industry.

Next year hopefully I will be an Actuary working in the Insurance or Finance industries.

[Faery-Wings]

Stay at Home mom here-- so I do a little of this, a lot of that, all for very low pay and lots of Advil. :)

Wildchild- sure, mixing paint doesn't look all that hard until the kids decide to help, spilling paint on the floor, then walking through wet paint, having to mop the floor.... :p

I am a retired Licensed Social Worker..No more direct services for me:nonono:

Since I like eating and assorted other good stuff...I now work as a telephonic Mental Health referal person, or as they say in the job description...an Intake Specialist. :) For a major insurance company.
