OT: What does everybody do for a living?

Hi Jettagram, wonder if we have worked together, as I own & operate an assisted living in northern MN for the elderly with dementia and Alzheimers. Have allot of contact with human services and at times with the financial workers.

I'm a high school ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher. Most of my students are Latino and I adore them!! I've been in education for 25 years. The first 10 I taught Spanish, the second 10 I was a high school assistant principal -- (I think that's when I started noticing my sleep deprivation...lol) and hopefully these last ten seem to be flying by with my ESL babies.

Been a shift worker for the National Weather Service for the last 16 years, currently as a forecaster.

I work in customer support for a company that makes and runs an online MMO game, as well as publishes games in the Pen and Paper gaming industry. It is by far my favorite job ever. I get paid to help people and play video games. What could be better?

What's in the white section under the trailer, in front of it's wheels? Is it a emergency braking mat?

I'm a sheriff... no put your hands on back of the car!!!

I used to be a problem solver with a large computer company. Though now disabled, I was with that company for 24 years. Hard to imagine it. Transitioning to being at home (so far) has not been a big deal, since I worked from home for almost 18 years. In fact, I started using a CPAP unit just a year or two before I started to work from home.

I'm a Power Quality Inspector for an electric utility - former Substation Operator. Almost retired. I also own a small business that my youngest son now manages. Thought my fatigue was all due to my Multiple Sclerosis. Never assume. Two imperfect nights and I feel better already.

Its for aerodynamics. helps a lot with fuel economy and the trailer feels a lot more stable on the highway.

That's one BIG truck there, imtired!

I have been a Medical Assistant for 12 years. I currently work in primary care at an Adolescent and Young Adult practice.

Impressive rig, imtired! Looks like it could suck my little pick-up truck right under the wheels!

BC (Before children) I was in middle management at an Internet company back when deals were being made. I also worked at a special effects studio. You know the many credits that roll after a movie. Well, my name is among the credits for a movie.

Now I'm a stay-at-home mom and a writer. I have two personal essay published so far in two anthologies. Now that I'm slowly getting my energy back, I'm trying to decide if I want to work for pay. Though somehow I have quite a lot of unpaid work.

I'm a retired Professional Geoscientist. I specialized in environmental geology and risk assessment.

Wow! We have a lot of collective wisdom to go along with a lot of diversity.
Bump.... Anyone else?
