What do you do for a living?

Hi all, I am more of a lurker than contributer but thought I'd cash in on this one. I work for Pathways Inc, an agency that serves developmentally disabled adults. I am a QMRP/Psychology Coordinator. In essence, I oversee programming in the residential homes to ensure we are "up to code" and I write behavioral plans and oversee psychological services. I love what I do. I've done this work for over 20 years. Anyone know how to get rid of the dorky picture that is up?? I hate it. It doesn't even look like me! Take Care all, Terri

I am a HRIS (Human Resources Information Systems) Manager. I manage/maintain/update our HR Oracle system. I also maintain/develop our HR portal and newsletter. I actually get involved in a lot of other things becauce my title also includes that catch all phase "Special Projects" It's great, I don't have much opportunity to be bored as there is always something new going on.

I have been an Administrative Assistant at a Lobbying Firm for 17 years. I am also a Licensed Cosmetologist but only do friends and family.... Once I have my surgery done, I may take a refresher course and work part-time in a salon. I miss doing hair and really enjoyed it...but the money and benefits are MUCH better in my current position.

LisaMarie, Another post that makes ya think.. Thanks for all your support hun.. I am an Office Administrator for a telecom consulting firm in Chester NY, I run the office, offer assistance and also do the A/R - A/P. I wear many hats and I love that it is diverse though I am looking for something in the field of Graphic artists, I have a cert in Graphic Communications (website, html, coding) but I have not really ever used it after the 6 month course and I need a place that will take me in and offer some training. I will keep my eyes open wide for this as I am not really happy with the company that I am with now. Thanks for reading.. Debra P

Professional psycho??? Just kidding I have college credits, but I never did anything with them. I was a certified nursing assistant, and a home health aide for years. I attempted nursing school, did really well, but I had to drop out from the stress of being a single mom at the time. My last position was working for an inventory company going from store to store with handheld machines and counting items. I liked it because it was flexible and I could work around my husband's hours. I liked the socialization of getting out too as I made great friends with people from that job and still keep in touch with a few. Kristine

Great Post! I am currently a Complex Direcctor at a University. Basically I supervise a residential complex for students of the univeristy. I have a student staff, and two professional staff members under my supervision. So basically I run an apartment complex on the campus and deal with roommate issues, facilitites management and anything else that needs my attention. I work about 12-14 hours a day and I am required to be available for any problems 24 hours a day. Currently I am job searching in the New York City area, so if anyone has any suggestions, please contact me. I know that I have a great many transferable skills!!! Erica

WOW! Lots of Nurses having this done! Yahoo, me too! I'm a Recovery Room Nurse now but worked Surgical for 10years. Murphy's Law(I have found) seems to be that Nurse's or Nurse's family members tend to have post-op complications more often then not. This gives me hope that all will go well. Although I haven't told anyone that I am a nurse. You know how all the other Nurse's will treat you once they know you are a nurse. Come on - don't deny it, we all do it!(Oh Mr. So & So's daughter is a nurse so .......) HaHa! I'm coming from Canada to Rochester to have surgery by Dr. O'Malley. Hopefully late October or early Nov. I will find out in a few weeks I don't post alot but enjoy reading all your posts. Lisa Marie you seem like a really fun chick and I'm sure we could get into a lot of trouble if we were to hang out for a liitle while! Maybe someday? Tammy*

JUst thought I might jump in, this was an interesting post.,I own a pet grooming salon.I recently moved my shop of 6 years down the street to a nicer location and remodeled and now I have the shop of my dreams. I love it and I love what I do.I look forward to being in better shape so I can handle things even better than I do now. I have wonderful employees that help me a great deal and seem to really understand my current condition, but I want to feel better. I have gained so much I feel worse than when I was 9 mo.s pregnant!

I am a DayCare provider. I care for children in my home 5 days a week. I have 2 children myself and have never had the chance to witness everything they learn. Now I finally have that opportunity and I'm loving it. It's great to be a provider for other childen.
