Me too!!!!! Neil knows he can safely hide any birthday/Christmas presents up in the loft because there's NO WAY I'd climb up the ladder to peek

I've mostly worked in shops - supermarkets in the 80's & 90's then a few butcher/delicatessen shops. Then in 2005 I started work in a newsagent/post office which suited me down to the ground as I love to read magazines AND write to loads of penpals so use the postal service a lot Also, in 1994, spent six months working as a gardener which I really enjoyed Now working part-time, 21.5 hours per week over 4 days, in a smaller newsagent/post office and really looking forward to finally having time to devote to my dog

We have a lot of teachers and nurses. That's cool

I have a degree and worked in IT for 6 years as a database programmer/analyst. Then, life circumstances brought me back home from Maryland (where I worked for the IRS). Then, the recession hit...

I somehow ended up working as a Dispatcher with a car-haul trucking company. I've been here 3 years this week. I'm a Fleet Manager now. I used to adore my job and I still love most aspects of it. However, the man that hired me died a couple of years ago and last year they brought in a new manager over our region. I hear rumors he is gone after August and I can only pray that is true. This man is someone who makes everyone's life miserable. I have never encountered someone like him in all my 44 years. He seriously just has a dark spot where the heart goes and it's sad.

He has made several drivers leave out of frustration and the only reason I didn't leave a year ago is because I had just moved into my house...which I love love love. I've managed, thru prayer, to deal with this man. But boy...I sure hope he is really out of here next month. I would love to love my job again.

Thank you so much, Judy. That really warmed my heart. I love working with all of my students, but I've developed a reputation to be the one to teach the kids most difficult to reach and the more quirky kids and also for my work with students with Autism or Aspergers. I just love them so much, and they truly touch my heart. There are so many changes in education, ones that make me very unhappy because they hurt kids. Yet every time something gets me down, I am reminded why I still absolutely love my job. The kids just inspire me, and when I close my door, I come alive with them. What you wrote means so much to me.

I'm in e-commerce. Little did I know that volunteering in 2001 to do some online work to support our troops overseas would enable me to develop essential skills to build and maintain my site.

Before that, I was in marketing & broadcasting with a Major League Baseball team.

Wow what type of profession do you have?

LOL I have to chuckle because what I do now, is so separate in many ways from what I did before.

I am a teacher of yoga now. I am self employed.

My passion is dogs too. And yes I breed them, but they are not my economic business.

In fact my business funds or fuels my breeding.

Prior to this, I was an educator in a private school for Massage Therapy.

Prior to this, I was Controller of an R+D organization.

Prior to this I worked many jobs, to get through school.

In Denver I was a self employed interior decorator & fitness instructor. With decorating I helped over 1000 clients enjoy their homes & my fitness career led to a lot of time spent teaching at resorts in Jamaica & a top North American fitness spa. My biggest goal in life was achieved when I was able to retire at 50. Now every day's a vacation in Las Vegas!
