What do You Do for a Living?

tamiller93

Funeral Director/Embalmer ordinarily,

I admire people who do the job that you do. I am sure it takes a very special individual. However, I have always been very curious to find out what it is that makes one desire to do this line of work? My friends and I have often had this discussion and can never seem to figure it out.

I'm a Tree Killa'
At least, that is what I think I do, based on the massive piles of paperwork I get buried under.

According to them, I work in the risk management area of loan underwriting for commercial auto loans at a national bank.
Yeah, say that 3x fast.

I am a Registered Nurse, specializing in Open Heart Recovery/Critical Care and Emergency Medicine. Lots of walking, lots of thinking too. I have been laid up at home since November with what started out as a torn meniscus that turned into a blown out spine. Working hard to be able to get back to doing what I love.

I'm a project manager for an optical engineering team. In my spare time I am in the middle of starting a non-profit organization. I work from home about 2-3 days a week so it allows me some flexibility however, it is still tough to find time for normal stuff like grocery shopping and working out. So my weekends and free time are spent being as active as I can be spending time in the great our doors doing things I love to do like biking, hiking, snowshoeing, back packing and of course, diving. :happy:

Currently, I'm a full-time college student majoring in Anthropology. I excel at procrastinating when it comes to studying, writing papers and reading text books yet I still manage to maintain a 4.0. When I'm not in class or procrastinating, I dress my youngest cat in various frocks, skim the pool, cook meals for my boyfriend and his kids, do various domestic chores, read fairly interesting books and nag my boyfriend. Every now and then I'm able to squeeze in a workout or a nice long walk.

I just graduated from college so I'm nannying for the time being- tons of temptations with food because it's all right there in the house all day. Also, the kids eat snacks and meals that I shouldn't be

My dance parties with my two year old grandson are the best. He wears me out, he says faster Nana.LOL.

Forgot to add I am a nurse work for an agency so I can work anywhere from no days in the week to 5-7 days in the week. I love the flexibility of agency nursing. I can plan my work outs accordingly. I hardly ever work day shift , hate day shift. I usually work the 2-10:30 shift which allows me to work out in the morning or at night when I get off.

Navy, So it can be difficult when we're at sea.
As you don't get to make your own meal, just try to find the best choice off the line.
If you organise your time well, you can get gym time in there.
There's been a mentality shift from our heirachy with increased focus on health and fitness, and work time dedicated to exercise, so that's promising!

FrostieGurl you think you can just say " I dress my youngest cat in various frocks" and no-one would comment!

I love you instantly! I used to dress my cat up when I was younger, he would love the attention and only get agitated if another cat saw him (embarrassed I suppose).

I just could not let your post go by without saying I admire anyone who is eccentric enough to dress their cat up.

I'm a Preschool teacher with 3-4 year olds

After teaching, I help with the daycare aspect, so I get to chase after little ones all day.

Aren't we just an eclectic bunch :-)

I'm a district sales manager for a large girly accessory chain. Lots of driving as I have 14 stores all over northern Indiana. I get my workouts in usually at night, unless I'm visiting one of the further stores, in that case it's got to be the morning. Crazy job, no 2 days ever the same...and it keeps me very busy. Yay retail....lol.

I am an Early Childcare Educator and work in what is a Best Start Hub (we put on programs for children and the parents/caregivers. I also do Outreach work too. Can be both desk work and active play with children.
We try and provide healthy snacks, so there are some days of "cupcake or cookie making" too
Hard to not eat them with the kids...

I work in early intervention, working with kids under 3 with delays and disabilities. Same for me - office time and time playing with kids. I have two kids, so they are a full-time job in and of themselves, and workout time is hard to make a priority at times.

adismum

I'm an at home mum of 5 children, 3 of whom are 3 and under and the two big ones at school, i cant do the gym or anything like that - and walking with master 3 in toe is not fun, but i usually pop two in the buggy and he sits on front makes it a bloody good workout, but yeah! Eating is a whole other story

MsBlueEyzz

I am a counselor. My hours change each day, so to workout I have to plan ahead. I have been trying to also have healthy snacks at work near me so I don't eat crappy foods.

I'm an environmental consultant mainly doing permitting for sources of air pollution. My degrees are in Meteorology. I have an hour commute each way, and spend all day at a desk, so workouts are hard to fit in, especially on my own. So I take Tae Kwon Do and am accountable to my instructors.

I am a server at a country club.. constantly walking by food.. cookies, cakes, french fries.. it is sooo hard to resist and go for a pickle instead. It is just not the same!

Why thank you, Apollo is really a good sport about it all. He's been dressed up as tinker bell, a cheerleader, a biker, a preppie, a bunny, a pirate and so many other cute little dresses that I've lost count. He seriously has an entire wardrobe of outfits. I generally reserve it for special occasions: when we have company, his birthday, my birthday, holidays, other people's birthdays, or when I pick up a new outfit on a whim. His first piece of clothing was a little blue t-shirt that said "Mommy's boy" and while the shirt doesn't fit him anymore, the title sure as heck does.
