what is your job

[KayTee]

fighting the forces of evil that threaten the nation, armed with a magic belt giving me tremendous strength, bracelets that can stop any bullet, a tiara that can be thrown as a returning weapon and a unbreakable magic lasso that can force anyone to tell the truth

AG, where can I get one of them tiaras?!

Kay - your memory is REALLY BAD! You can get one the same place Miss Greater Richmond got her's at the US Open Champs - the Dollar store!

I am a child development specialist for a school system in Virginia, working in their Head Start program and serving children from birth through age 5.

Student is my first job. X-Ray tech.

Pharmacy Tech to help pay a few bills. Left dentistry after 12 years and to many God-syndrome docs.

[Daydrummer]

I am several things:

To make money, I am one of the most hated people in the hospital, lol. I'm a phlebotomist, aka "Vampire." I am grateful I don't work the night or morning shifts, as I don't really wake anyone up to stick them! I work 1200-2230 for seven days in a row, the I get seven days off typically. Right now they've got me down for lots of extra shifts and on-calls (which is where I am right now...they called me in until 0300 this morning, and even called me in yesterday for 7 hours).

I am a musician and artist around town when I can as well. I'm a percussionist/drummer to several studios in the area, and orchestras, and do paintings to sell on the internet. I used to do jewlery, but haven't in a while.

I love my life, I love my jobs

Paralegal for a non-profit civil litigation organization. I've been working for the same organization for the past 5 years, but only a little over one year here in our new Northern California regional office (moved here from AZ to open this office).

Oh, and how could I forget the most important job in the world - Beagle couch (we have two - Snoopy and Lucy).

I've a B.S. in zoology, a M.S. in science education, and A.S. in veterinary technology, which makes me bullsXXt, more sXXt, all sXXt. I worked as a tech at a practice in Dorchester (one of the poorer neighborhoods of Boston) for 17 years, and have spent the past 7 years in a practice in one of the higher income suburbs of Boston. I've gotten black eyes, had my lip ripped open from nose to lip, had cat bites twice require IV antibiotics for 48 hours, also 2 episodes of Cat Scratch Disease that lead to lymph node biopsies. On the good days I just pick up dogs. I've dropped my floor to table lifts to 70 lbs, no amount of Kegel's assure my continence at higher weights. My body is feeling the wear & tear of my occupation too much and I'm planning on "retiring" next year even though I will only be 61. Hopefully I'll be able to find part time work to help make ends meet, ideally in a bike shop.

I, for one, do NOT hate the "vampires"!!! When a doc or nurse has jabbed me black and blue and we're both sweating from the stress cuz she/he can't find a vein, along comes a "vampire" and gently, smoothly, solves the problem.

[LBTC]

I agree with Duck on this one....I'll take the expert on vein poking every time!

First, let me state I'm insane for no sane person would do my job, really! I'm a middle school science teacher. Wait, let me add I teach 7th graders. You know those little ones with raging hormones. The ones that think school is for socializing, who needs an education. I typically get in the way of their socialing (this translates into "you're mean" which means I'm doing my job) thus hindering the development of their networking skills. I must be crazy to think that my discussion of genetics is more important than knowing who just broke up or who was sent to the office for sticking french fries up their nose at lunch. Back to the insane part - I must be for I've been doing this job (and loving every minute of it, well most) for the past 18 years.

Only 24 more days to go until summer vacation (I'm not counting).
