What do you ladies do for a living?

We all spend so much time on this board, I'm curious to know what everyone does that gives us so much leeway(sp?), or are most of us "sneaking":)

I work for a state senator doing constituent service. I surf the web for 90% of my day.............tax dollars hard at work :-)

Me too :-) I'm lucky because my boss is not really strict at all. As long as your work is done in a reasonable amount of time, he doesn't care what else you do.

Re: What do you ladies do for a living?

My boss is the same way - the thing is once school has started and students and new lecturers are all settled, it gets really quiet...this campus is so big and the building are scattered, I am in the "G" block, that is really away from practically everybody and I have my own office - once the Heads of departments are in their offices, they do not bother me :-)

Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.

Re: What do you ladies do for a living?

Wow, Septbride.............do they have an office in Pittsburgh? Hook a sista up:)

I used to play spades and literati all day at work, but my boss is up for reelection this year, so I was told I couldn't play games online until its over with. I guess they are scared someone might come in the office and see me.

Septbride, do you play spades at yahoo, and if so whats your ratings and screen name? I will have to look for you. I still play at home in the evenings.

Re: What do you ladies do for a living?

I am a County Prevention Coordinator. I oversee a federal grant that was awarded to our county.I will be overseeing several projects that the grant's funding once we begin implementation this August. My boss works in another city and I only see her once or twice a month when I have meetings. We communicate by email and telephone. I have the option of working from home or in my office. I love my job but it can be demanding at times. And everybody is always trying to get in good with me because they want the money (grant).

Re: What do you ladies do for a living?

Right now I'm a Sitter for my SIL's 4 boys, ages 4,6,7,&11. I'm currently taking a few classes so that my SIL and I can start our own daycare really soon. My job is easy, I only work from like 11:30 until 5 or 7 at the latest.I really dont have to do much..we have a daily schedule and my boys know we stick to it.
I love my job and I love working with kids. Somtetime before I'm too old I'm going to go back to school and finish taking classes for my B.A. and Masters in Sociology so I can either do Probation or Social Work like I planned to do when I first started College in 2002. But we all know plans change.....one day I will do it.

There is some diversity in the Vibride sistahood, that's what I love. Everyone has great jobs, and more importantly, so many of you said you love your jobs. That is so important.

DaughterRhonda, you might know some people I know. I know of one principal who went through that academy and I know others at "Tweed."

We definitely must meet. That would be so nice.
I have a Dept. of Ed email; do you? Just want to know. We would have to keep that strictly business related.

Re: What do you ladies do for a living?

I"m an over-the-road truck driver.Yes,that's right.I drive an 18 wheeler along with my FH.Recently,I took a load from California on a Friday and ended up in Florida on Sunday.That's over 2000 miles.I love meeting people,seeing the country and getting paid to do it.I've done office work,retail,and even worked as a nail tech in the past but I love the freedom of setting my own hours and taking time off whenever I feel like it.What I don't like is the stereotypes that people have about truck drivers...

I take it you don't eat at any fast food places - and that train of thought can be insulting to some people Rony.

Honestly,the best assurance for peace of mind when it comes down to food is to stay home and cook.:-)That way you won't have to worry about the cleaniless of the kitchen.Or Mom or Grandma's house may be an excellent substitute.Lol.

I rarely eat at fast food restaurants unless I can see everything. As far at that chain of thought being insulting, most people feel that way whether or not they verbalize it.

I concur but my point to you is they may not grant you access because of safety reasons...kitchens can be a hazard especially during a rush hour and only the staff members are all synchronized to procedures during these rush hours.
