    Currently an "accountant" for a management company. I process financial reports for Homeowners Associations. Been in this job for 6 years now.

    Previous jobs inlcude:
    Child Day Care teacher for 12 years
    During high school I worked at pizza joints but never a waitress. I'd probably drop plates if I had to waitress.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Currently I am a full time security guard at a wood drying facility. They use the wood for furniture I'm told lol. I'm going to start school to be a paralegal this term . Security isn't exactly a glamor career lol.

    I volunteer at the animal shelter and love it. I have for almost 4 years. I worked there for a year and a half but didn't get the permanent position because I don't have my driver's license.

    But I may be getting to work there paid (I don't care about the money the animals are my priority!!! ) so we'll see how that goes.

    In 2006 - I was a bell ringer for the holidays for the Salvatian army never again. and before that I worked at Burger King when I was 16-17. I hated that job. I do better with animals.

    I started working at 11 in a grocery store as a bag boy and part-time in the butcher shop. That was in 1951. I had already put my work history down earlier starting with the Navy. I worked for 52 years continuous without a break other than vacations and sick leave.
