Well, I'm an office manager for a small electrical company. I do all the boring desk crap like payroll, acts. receivable, acts. payable, etc.

I recently found what I thought I wanted to really start a career in ( Vet Tech.) but the schooling is more than I can afford. I guess I'll be sitting here on my a** for quite a few more years... LOL

If I had one..I'd certainly want it bigger. The viagra emails usually mis-spell viagra or whatever other drug they're pushing...yep, ya know those are top notch pharamacies...their prices are good though

I worked in Insurance as a Director of Group Benefits. Last yeat after 33 years they got in new management and my position was eliminated so I was forced to take EARLY retirement at 52! Big cut in pay but no one to tell me what to do! I ahev been taking care of my 86 year old FIL until he died in November and now my 86 year old parents moved 5 minutes from me so I am their caregiver. It's stressful but rewarding.

No, not that kind of marketing. We train the drug reps who go in to talk to the Doctor's about our clients drugs. Sorry, can't get you any Viagra samples. I once got one of the Doctors to give me an empty Viagra box and when we went to a 40th birthday party for my friend's husband we put his gift card in it and wrapped the box. The look on his face when he opened the present was priceless! I think he was disappointed when it only had a gift card in it!

He only wanted to try one, ya know. When these things first came out...co-worker of dh's was on them...he said it "worked" for 4 hours which was (in his opinion) about 3 1/2 hours longer than you needed it

Is your company independent or one of the drug companies? Have a friend who's a manager of drug reps....Glaxco....

I make my living as an artist and I paint commissions and show in galleries. I love anything that has to do with art and spend a lot of time visiting museums and galleries. I love to travel and try to make a journey to another country and culture each year. When I am not painting...I spend time on my volunteer work.I consider my anti-racism activism to be as much a part of me as my artistic endeavors.I facilitate a group called Conversations on Race and try and help participants to become more comfortable talking about the issues of racism. I also sit on the Advisory Board of Directors of our local university's School of Fine Arts. In this capacity I work with the School's gallery in planning shows and jurying admissions to those shows.I love the flexibility of being an artist because I get to spend a lot of time with my daughter and Vivi. My daughter is also involved in activism and we often get to work together on projects. She is currently organizing a fashion show to raise awareness on the issues of Domestic Violence and money for a local Domestic Violence shelter. She is only 16 and I am very proud of her.

Claire · 03-22-2006, 09:33 AM

Right now, I am a stay at home mom to a 10 month old human and a 2 year old Yorkie.
Before that I was a legal secretary, got fired cuz the jerk attorney thought that I loved my child more then I loved my job.... he got that right! What's funny is that his partner hired me back 2 hours later. But the jerk fired me again 1 week after Katrina.
and
