I like your job especially the part with no walls.
Wouldn't mind to be doing a job like you do have.

After a career as a journalist (reporter, then managing editor) I now do publicity for an opera company where I develop relationships with local and international media, write releases and articles for the patron newsletter I design and layout, do much of our publicity photography, and now am also coordinating our outreach. I am in love with my job and certainly find the photography part of it extremely satisfying.

This is great reading and getting to know you folks better.

I currently earn my income remodeling residential and commercial buildings.
I've done just about everything. Started off in horticulture like my Dad but got into underground irrigation as well. At one point I was selling auto body supplies and doing body work and paint in my garage when I my kids were small.
For 5 years I operated heavy equipment building exhibits at the Phoenix Zoo in Arizona.
I spent time as a Glazier building high rise buildings too.
I'm also ordained in Shamanic Studies and perform an occasional wedding.
Diversity! I love it and working on adding photography to the resume`!

I am now the stay at home Husband having retired over six years ago from the Department of Defense at the ripe old age of 55. It was forced retirement or layoff. During my tenure of employment I held 27 different jobs from a Warehouseman to a Police Officer, Production Controller, Facility Maintenance Inspector, Supervisor of Maintenance, Material Dept General Foreman, Fraud Investigator, and many more that gave me lots of diversification in the job market. I can truthfully state I didn't particularly care for any of them with the exception of one job and that was computer repair. I enjoyed replacing the hardware and learning how they functioned.
I now spend much of my time visiting local parks in the San Francisco Bay area (there are 58 regional parks in the eastbay alone) and taking lots of pictures. I enjoy landscape and nature, and look forward to learning to use my camera settings a bit more than I currently do.

John- congrats on the retirement, no matter how it came about! It's a great way to spend a day, searching for the right photo! I've spend some time myself working in the bay area, my brother lives in Pleasant Hill.
There is always something to do or place to see.

I am the office manager,accountant, purchasing agent, salesperson, schedule & expeditor and IT person for a small motor repair shop.

When my kids were in school, I went back to college and got my BA in accounting/business admin. When I graduated, I applied with a motor manufacturing company for a receptionist job while I was studying for the CPA exam. One day, during a lunch break, the manager there asked me a few technical questions about motors. After I answered them, he said, "We are wasting your talents. You are going to motor school next week." 20 years, here I still am, in the motor business. Never did take the CPA exam.

I'd have to say my resume is extremely diverse. Radio Air Talent while in High School, stage actor to the Army where I served in the infantry and later criminal investigations. After my medical retirement in 94 I went back to school and ended up with my masters in I/O psychology and US Military History.

This all translates into being able to teach from home while I work on a PhD in American History while enjoying the trials and benefits of being an at-home dad who loves photography.

I work full time in insurance and I am also a 3/4 time student. Nothing too exciting here!

I'm a stay at home mum right now to my 2 kidlets, but before I did that, I was a toddler room leader in a corporate child care centre in the city (Sydney). As much as I love my 2 kids, I miss the days where I could hand children back to their parents & go home to a quiet house hehe.....

I am mr williams sankoh the first son of the late agogomaka sankoh who was a famous cocoa merchant. I am 23 years old and a sierra-leonian.

My late father operated his cocoa business in abidjan-cote d'ivoire under partnership but unfortunately his business associates poisoned him in order to claim his wealth in a cocktail party held in his honour as the director of the company. When he was poisoned, he was rushed to the hospital.

It was in the hospital that he secretly disclosed to me the cause of the sickness and also that he deposited the sum of $22. M(twenty two million dollars) with an international bank here in abidjan-cote d'ivoire and that i was made the next of kin to inherit this sum in his record/file.

He therefore advised me to look for a reliable, trust worthy and god-fearing person who will assist me to transfer this funds abroad strictly for investment purposes. This is because he didn't want his associates to raise an eyebrow on his fund. He also advised me to avoid his associates who will be running after my dear life. He finally died in the hospital after two days of admission.

I am soliciting for your assistance to transfer this funds for an investment purposes. I hope to travel with you to your country after a successful transfer of this funds.


HHAHAHAHAHA Just kidding!!!!!!!

I am WV Underground Coal Miner!!!!!
