After reading Tina's post about her day at the airport, it got me to wondering just what it is we all do for a living. What is your job?

I am a medical secretary in the Imaging (X-ray, etc.)Department of a local Hospital. I have done this job for 12 years. Talk about variety...you never know what you will see in a hospital!

So, who's next?

I work as a Press and Media Manager at a local Council, dealing with enquiries from the press, writing press releases etc - it's a very varied job and you never know what's coming next. I've been there about 18 months now.

I work as a Psych Tech, with this job you cannot get board.

I'm a substitute teacher by choice. I love working with kids, and am certified to work with special needs kids, so I spend a lot of my time subbing in that venue. I love the variety - I do all my subbing at our local K-8, so I get to work with lots of different age groups. I keep getting offered full time work, but as a full time mom, I would hate to tie myself down. I like the freedom of saying, "No, I'm not available."

For the last 12 years I have worked for a husband/wife team that own 4 businesses. We are a legal courier service, private detective agency, limousine service and repossession business. I do a a little bit of everything. I hire/fire drivers, payroll and accounting. When I first started there I occasionally went out on surveillance (very boring), made deliveries and did some town car jobs.
Now I stay in the office and it is less stressful, except when I get a call from an irate person because we repo'd their car the night before !

I have been a Stay at Home Dad since December 1992. Three years ago I started working school hours and days in my wifes insurance agency as an agent. I'm home when my kids get home and get all snow days and school vacations off. At the office I sell personal lines of insurance (home, auto, life) and banking products (savings, checking, loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, money market) Before going to work for my wife part time, I was a volunteer Emergency Medical ambulance worker. Worked one 12 hour overnight shift per week and every 6th weekend for NO pay. It got me out of the house.

I work in a pathology lab as a Histologist. I deal with organs/tissues of the body looking for microscopic signs of abnormalities/disease.

I have worked for Verizon full time since early 1987. I was a Directory Assistance Operator/Supervisor for almost 12 years. I moved on to work in the Yellow Pages Department in late 1998. I had to get away from all that customer contact and crazy hours. In directory we were open 24/7/365. I now work 7-3, m-f, no holidays and absolutely NO customer contact.

Oh my gosh, I wear so many hats at work and have so many titles. I guess if you've ever been to an airport, I do most of the jobs that you see the airline personnel do. Since we're a small airport, we do them all. I check the passengers in for the flight, load the luggage from the belt onto the baggage cart to bring out to the plane. I board the passengers at the gate. I load the bags off of/onto the plane. I'm the one standing out there with those cute orange wands marhsalling the plane into and out of the gate. I also deice the plane in the winter. Sometimes I drive the deice truck, sometimes I'm the one in the bucket spraying the plane. If we have a passenger who can't go up/down stairs, we put them in a special chair and carry them up the stairs and then transfer them to the seat. I also drop the arriving bags onto the baggage belt. And I get yelled at a lot! LOL. Oh, ya, I also spend 45 min. each day checking passenger boarding passes/ID's before they enter the sterile area. You never know what's gonna happen, especially living up here in the snowbelt.

I am vice president/manager for a real estate company.
I handle company training.

I have worked both full and part time at Gateway Playhouse since 1994. I took a management position when I was finishing up my bachelors degree. It was ideal since it was seasonal (May-Sept) and evenings. When I took a "real" job with the county as a case worker I kept working for Gateway since I love the theater so much.
I resigned from my "real" job when I had Danny 3 years ago but continued to work for Gateway still in a part-time mananger position.
Last month I was offered a full-time position in administration. Since Danny is school 2 days a week and I can make my own hours (bringing him with me sometimes!) I accepted. I started on Wednesday. So far so good.

I am a "billing specialist" or so says my hospital ID. Actually, I work in a doctor's office as the person who handles all the insurance and accounting aspects of the practice. I can set my own hours, have my own office, and I get to bring Alex to work with me. One of the great benefits of the job is being a boss to my mother! It's payback time! LOL

Before staying home, I was a computer programmer for Andersen Consulting (no, not THAT Andersen - they do accounting!) at DuPont.

It was a great job, and if I have to work, I would work there again in a heartbeat - but I LOVE staying with the kids! I wouldn't trade it for anything, even that missing paycheck...
