Ok What Does Everyone Do?

I'm a Celtic metalsmith (jeweller). I was a computer programmer for the House of Commons (Canadian Parliament) but I got early parole two and a half years ago.

I work for a county wide E-911 dispatch center. I am also a volunteer firefighter/EMT. I have degrees in history, archaeology, and theology. The lesson? Don't major in the above if you want a job in those areas, not if you want to eat. Most importantly, though, I am my wife's husband and my sons' father. Wouldn't trade that for anything!

Just my tuppence.

I'm an RN. I work 12 hr nights in an extended rehab hospital. This means that after you EMT types get them to the hospital, and after the trauma hospital gets them healed up enough that they aren't likely to die, we get them. We keep them until the bones and organs and wounds heal. We give lots of antibiotics for nasty germs like MRSA and VRE. We do gentle physical therapy to get them strong enough to go to the intensive rehab centers and learn to walk again.........That's the theory, anyway. The reality is we get the little old bedridden folks who are so debilitated that it's going to take 6 months to heal a decubitus. The level 3 hospital we partner with needs their beds for acute patients, so we get lots of wound care, diabetic and dialysis folks whose foot sores don't heal, and people who are so confused that thay wouldn't benefit from regular rehab. The MRSA and VRE are the same though...

I'm an employee with administration; in addition I'm bringing up my two sons and am coordinating our life...fulltime job but love it!

Hey Paul tomorrows Tuesday it is Monday

Retired but do some webmastering in my free time for friends and such.

Guess if you had to say my jobs world traveler as we are trying to travel now while we still can. We want to see the world we live in not just read about it in a book wishing we could be there.

I'm a ward sister in the Acute Respiratory Unit in one of Glasgow's teaching hospitals.We carry out a lot of investigative work but also care for people with acute illness and management of chronic illness.Unfortunately because of the nature of the west coast behaviour (bad diet, alcohol excess and heavy smoking) we also diagnose and manage lots of people with lung cancers.
The area that my hospital covers also takes in about 90% of all the hostels and homeless shelters in Glasgow so we care for a lot of people with T.B.
It is an interesting but very busy job.

I work for a vacuum cleaner franchise. What I do covers a lot of ground. I maintain our computer systems, build databases, oversee direct mail campaigns, repair vacuums, sell vacuums when needed, inventory control, tech support, train new employees.

I can't think of everything else I do right now. There really is no "job description" for me.

I am an Aviation Analyst for a consulting group. Basically I spend all my time trying to keep business and commercial aircraft in the air, and away from the edges. The edges can be defined by buildings, houses, trees, schools, oceans and intergalactic space. Airplanes don't fly so good at the edges. Since I spent the previous 10 years of my life as an Operations Supervisor at the local Airport, I am enjoying my desk job, especially in the winter. I get to listen to great music and chat with you interesting folks.

I'm a Drafter (Techinical Illustrator) and a materials purchaser for a hydraulic cylinder maker in Edmonton.

I draw the production drawings of all the parts for our machinists and buy the steel they need to make the parts with.

In other words, I get blamed for everything that goes wrong.

Oldraven, Oilers fan? They just beat up my Flyer 3-0.

Eamon

DO????????
You mean I'm supposed to be doing something???????

No wonder I'm adrift at sea............

Elspeth

I think you're job lately seems to be computer fixer LOL

Oldraven, Oilers fan? They just beat up my Flyer 3-0.

Eamon

Yes, I root for the Oil, when ever they play. Unless, of course, they're playing the Habs (Montreal Canadians). The Habs will always be me #1 team, even if they haven't played a decent game in five or six years.

I went to my first NHL game a few months back. Blackhawks @ Oilers. Awesome experience.





I used to work with some die hard Flyers fans. I would tease them by refusing to call them anything but the Red Wings (symbols are pretty similar). It pissed them off a lot, but I got a hoot out of it.

Red Wings...yep, that would do it. Don't worry about your Habs. They will be back sticking banners on the roof of the Bell Center before long. You guys are in the toughest division in the East, and are in good shape to pull one an easy seed in the playoffs.

I get to go the the Flyers games quite a bit. Its a totally different game live. Sent my Mom and Dad to the game tonight against the Penguins (2nd row, between the blue line and the corner) as his birthday present.

Love hockey.
