what kind of job do you do?

For one year now, I've started my own business as a Faux Finisher. I do fancy wall finishes in rich folks homes.

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!

I'm self employed and work from an office in my home. Although I've done work for a variety of companies, the past years it has narrowed down to running the office of a remodeling company. Mainly that consists of bookkeeping, secretarial work and office management. In my *previous life* I worked as a correctional counselor in a state institution for juveniles who were adjudicated delinquent by the courts.

Nothing as yet, but I'm really hoping that in a couple of months I can work voluntarily at my local RSPCA shelter as I'll then be 15.

I've been writing letters for work experience for next year, and I've just got a reply from one veterinary practice that would like to have me Of course, my ambition is to become a veterinary surgeon.

Faux Finishing is a great start up business. You don't really need a loan to get started. I recommend a 5 day course such as FauxEffects.com
You must enjoy the tedious aspects as much as the creative.
There's so much work, I don't know how to keep up. It would keep me busy 7 days a week, if I let it. But, it is physically challenging, especially for someone 45'ish with Rheumatoid Arthritis, but I thought I'm not getting any better, or younger. I'm going for it!
I go 3 scaffolds high!
PM me if you want more details.

Good, good living.

I am a full time kid!

I don't have a job at the moment, but I would really like to start volunteering at the Human Society near our house.

Corporate Travel Agent for 30 years until 9/11. Got laid off soon afterwards. Stressful, but I loved the challenge. Got to travel everywhere I ever wanted. After work and on weekends I worked as a sales associate at a huge department store and also at a local discount beauty supply/cosmetic store. In 2003 I home cared my mom for 2 years. Had 2 much needed surgeries on my spine and am now on SSD. I loved so many of your jobs-so cool! Now that my wrist is still broken, I'm limited to stuff so I have no clue what I'd do. I have no other marketable skills. I love being home doing what I want when I want and also being with my sweet K-lo 24/7. Could be worse. I do miss being with people as I always did some kind of PR work too.
