what kind of job do you do?

i work at a nursing home and i was just wondering what kind of jobs you guys do? does anyone else work ina nursing home also?

I don't have a job but I do volunteer at my local no - kill animal shelter regularly if that counts. :)

i always wanted to have a no kill shelter and work at one but we dont have any close by and i could never afford to have one myself

I write technical documentation for consumer electronics (ie. click this button to do stuff, this menu setting does this, the specs for this are that etc.) -- kind of boring. I also do support training and product training, as well as installer training etc. Some software stuff too. Thats what pays the bills for me.

As a sideline, I do commision craft work - mostly for the cost of the materials and the time. I'm currently working on making jewellery for my friends wedding (for her bridesmaids), i have 2 commisions for stained glass projects (making 2 panels for a door, and a stained glass weiner dog), as well as trying to get a bunch of odds and ends done for a craft show in November (dont think im meeting the deadline for that tho :( )

As to the Nursing Home, my sister worked in nursing homes for a while, but now is a day program coordinator for older adults with cognative disabillities.

My pets and house work is my only job for now, some time ill work at a pet shop but I have no need to now.

I work for an organic food home delivery company. It's a lot of physical labour but I get to sit around and play on the computer for part of the day.

I also teach dog obedience classes and do private sessions as well. I'm also in the early stages of starting a Belgian & Sheltie rescue. :)

I am a production Supervisor in a Mixing Dept in the Nations Largest Independant Bakery. Consolidated Biscuit Company. We make many varieties of cookies and crackers for Kraft and other name brand companies.

For the last 5 years, I managed a copy shop. I quit 2 weeks ago, and am officially a stay-at-home-mommy to be. Now I can sleep in, spoil my pets, and work on getting the nursery set up. I love the freedom so far, and boredom hasn't struck yet. :)

I'm jealous, I bet you really enjoy that. What type of illustration do you do usually? I'd love to illustrate a children's book or something.

I am a dog/cat groomer. I've been doing that a little over 4 years now. I enjoy working with animals, I wish I made enough money I could afford my own place though. :/

All these jobs make me sooo jealous! i would love to almost all of them!

In a about a decade, I should be a veterinarian. LOL. ;)

I'm aiming to be a Marine mammal rescuer and rehabilator. In fact, I'm going tommorow to an open house for a high school based entirely on the subject of Marine biology. Unfourtunatley its hard to make, but I'm pretty confident about it.

I have been a professional musician for 20 yrs, also an arranger of music.
I work as a proofreader for a major publishing co. from home.

For one year now, I've started my own business as a Faux Finisher.

Wow are you a singer or do you play instruments? my sons father went to boston school of music but he dropped out. my son takes after him with music tho he wants every instrument possible and sings all the time we just got hima real guitar for his bday this yr!

I'm a dental technician. No, not a dental assistant. There's a big difference. I work in a dental lab and we are the ones who make the crowns for the dentist. Just consider us to be the tooth fairies.:)

I'm a Certified Ophthalmic Assistant in a small Ophthalmology (eye doctors) practice. I am also the Nursery Coordinator at my church, so I get to babysit little ones quite a bit. I also do some volunteer things: I am a member of the Hand Bell Choir at church; I am a bus driver for our church for various activities; I am on the local Dive Rescue Team as a shore support person; I am on the Education Committee at my church. These things all keep me very busy, and happy!

I work in 2 pharmacys, the main one I work in the front store, but every other saterday when the relief pharmasist is in, then I help her with filling perscriptions and such. at the other one I am casual, I oly work their when I am needed, and not working at the main one, at this one I am a pharmasist assistant.

I'm a social worker. I used to be a child protection worker, for the last four years I've been a case manager at the worker's compensation board. I work mainly with people who have had major injuries at work and will require long term medical care and retraining in order to return to any kind of work. That's the job that pays the bills so I can do the thing I really am--I am a musher!

I work part time for an ophthalmologist (roughly 25 hours/week). I do reception work and also transcribe all of his dictation.

Angelbow 20, my mom has been living in a nursing home for the last few years. I respect her caregivers and know it can't be easy. Some are very attached to her so I know the emotional side as well.

Oh Amy, you are so talented! I wish I did animal portraits like you do - your work is beautiful!

For the past four years, I've been doing computer-generated illustrations for a company that publishes supplemental educational material. I mainly do spot art for workbooks for Grades 3-8, but this year I have done 6 books in color that are part of a reading program. I'm attaching the scan of one book cover (color in the scan is a little pale) and the art I did for the back cover - I didn't scan the back because it's got upc codes printed all over it.
Please do not copy/download/use these, this work is copyrighted by the publisher. I'm allowed to use it in my portfolio. And yes, I love it! I work at home and I recently moved my studio to a small building attached to the kennel - so my fuzzbutts come in with me all day and become couch potatos!

How's that working out for you? I did murals in a church and quite a few residences some years ago. It was fun, I loved it, but I didn't love working on scaffolding - I'm trying to do things where I keep both feet on the ground now!
