What do You Do for a Living?

I am an attorney with a municipal corporation (quasi-governmental agency). The work varies across all fields - from HR/employee relations to contracts to drafting regulations - but lately I am feeling bored and dissatisfied. Thus, I spend a good chunk of my day reading on MFP. I have a flexible schedule and currently work 7 am to 4 pm M-F with every 2nd Monday off. It is easy to workout in the evenings whether at home or the gym since I get home around 5 most evenings.

I own a Private Security Officer/Process Service business. As a matter of fact we spend a lot of time going into busy law offices, such as yours, picking up/dropping off papers to be served. I run my company out of my home and my business line is forwarded to my cell phone, which is always attached to my hip. So, I can pretty much plan a workout into any part of my day.

I'm a medical transcriptionist from home, which means I never leave work :laugh: I get paid by production so I basically have to work 3x's as long to make what I would in an office. I also start work around 2-3 am, working throughout the day. In between that I'm shuttling kids/husband to/from school/work. I also have a toddler that's home with me other than M/W/F. Usually my day ends around 10 pm.

Once you work from home, people assume that as a mom you're at home eating bon bons all day long. So I have my job, plus all the household stuff/finances, shopping, etc. :laugh: :laugh:

Oh, and no such thing as sick leave. I even work on vacations.

Anyhow, I try to exercise between jobs, or during a "lunch break". I also have a townhouse w/3 levels, so I'm doing stairs all day.

Doing stairs all day, errands, laundry and carrying a 30 lb toddler around all day, you'd think I'd be ultra skinny. That'd be the case if God was a woman. So God must be a man. Oh well. :flowerforyou:

I am a Massage Therapist, and I also teach massage therapy at a local tech college. I love it! :bigsmile:

Me too...I massage and teach massage as well! Best job in the world!!!

High School Teacher/Coach. I literally have 1-2 hours to my self a day, currently. (Beisdes the 7-8 hours of sleep.)

It's crazy, but I love it and would't change it. I pack a lot of my own food at school and when we travel to games, it helps a lot to avoid the lunchroom/concession stand.

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 am a project coordinator for a land development company stressful and sit all day long

I am a nurse and I work in an Eye Bank. I love my job. I have worked with eyes for about 12 years now. :glasses:

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:

I was in corporate aviation. I managed a sales team that sold corporate jet travel. I have recently left to become a high school chemistry teacher. I will be doing my student teaching in the fall. Exciting mid life change
