Physio here-leaning toward more chinese medicine- (acupuncture and other alternatives) though I come from a strong manual therapy background.
I own my clinic so unfortunately that means I do all the other "business stuff too- yuck-:eek: when I "retire" I just wanna do physio/acupuncture with little or no paper work- for free maybe in some developing country....hmm dreaming now- a life without paperwork..ahhhhhh:D
sigh.. baby sitter for adults.. or rather.. big people. do-er of all things that other folks don't want to do... jack of all trades, master of none. the person whose responsibility it is to ask the stupid questions..
in other words, a project manager.
Currently working for a large Superannuation company in the admin section.
I'm currently searching for a new position :D :)

patent agent at a biotech company
Mommy of three fabulous children girl 9, boy 7 and girl 3. Wife to an awesome DH who supports all my crazy ideas. I also teach cycling, step, weight training, boot camp and pilates. Before I had a family I was a retail manager. I like my current life the best. When I grow up, I want to be independently wealthy and spend all my time swim/bike/run-ing with my family.:p
I have a longarm quilting business. No, I don't have long arms, I use two very large sewing machine that are called longarm machines. Quilters bring me completed quilt tops and I sew them together with a backing and batting to make them a quilt. I also teach quilt piecing classes and design quilt patterns. And being my own boss, I can get to work hot and sweaty from my daily commute and no one cares. :p bikerHen
cats think it's awesome too...Quote:

The rest of my time I spend either biking, climbing, planning biking or climbing, gabbing with friends irl or online about biking or climbing - or at home with my family ;)
Supervisory Special Investigator (definition: supervise/manage/mentor a team of fed'l investigators).
I own a small but profitable antiques business.
Plus I am a small timber grower.
Plus I manage my financial investments for income.
Plus I take care of my brain damaged husband who is slowly dying and requires 24-hour care, though he is still highly functional in some respects, enough so that I can leave him alone or take him with me when I am engaged in activities outside of the house.
I don't use any of the above to identify myself to others if it is outside the scope of my business. Most people who meet me assume I am retired because I rarely discuss what I do. How I spend my time to make money or my responsibilities as a care giver do not identify me because the totality of who I am is more than what people can ever see or perceive.
I don't go nuts from the stress because I bike everyday.
