OT: What do you do for a living?

SHHHHhhhh (cuts eyes left and right as he leans forward and wispers) I make drugs.........the legal way. I am a Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Tech for a small/medium scale formulations/developement and commercial manufacturing company headquartered out of Wilmington, NC.

Married & at home raising 4 kids for 22 years. Consider that my 'retirement', and would not go back there, lovely as it was at the time.

Now mother of 4, grandmother of (currently) 6. Cupcake baker!

By working day an internal Account/Contract Manager with major (US) technology company on a complex consolidated offering. Love it. I guess if I'd been working for 30 years I'd be looking forward to retirement, but as it is, no way.

One day they'll come in to find me petrified (the turned to stone kind, for you youngsters!) and covered in cobwebs. Keeps me off the streets anyway!

What a diverse lot we are!

I'm an industrial electrician, I work graveyard shift at Disneyland, Anaheim Ca. I've worked night shift / odd shifts for the last 15 years in steel industry and in the food industry now entertainment industry. Life is good but it its cold and dark out there.

I am a sewerage system designer

And don't laugh. It may be shit to you but it's my bread and butter.

Or to put it another way - without your shit, I'd go hungry

Us tapirs like to stir the pot, so to speak.

What do I really do? I run a family business, a printing business, and no, we do not print money so don't bother asking for samples

Working rotating shifts for the National Weather Service as a forecaster.

I'm the admin. asst. and receptionist for a large copier company. As of June, 2009, I have been working here 5 years.

I am a Nurse as well as a Paramedic. REALLY messed up shift schedule some 8, 10, 12 and 14 hours shifts. I think I met myself coming the other way.

Wife is 3 year survivor of breast cancer and our son is 5. I am so fried. Just got diagnosed with this OSA. Can't figure it out, I am fit, and generally healthy although my health reserves are in the basement. I guess the rest of the story is for another post. Good to learn I am not alone and that the psycho/social symptoms are more than likely due to OSA than a major personality disorder. Reply back please I really need the support with this. Thanks!

Event Planner, aka road warrior, thirsty traveler, lost wanderer, cat herder, and zombie. Also teach classes on protocol and etiquette when I can muster up the strength and brain power.

I work at the local hospital as the maintenance man, safety officer, telephone man and pull all the computer wire when needed.

Retired Construction Estimator. I was terrible doing math in a classroom in school and if you had told me what I would end up doing I would have laughed at you. It is amazing the difference between real world and classroom. Wrote several estimating spreadsheets over the years for different trades.

BTW, I still don't get classroom math.
