What is your job?

People often post about things they've done at work, etc., but I am not really sure what a lot of people actually do.

So this is a "tell everyone a little about your job" thread.

I'll start, even though my job is far from exciting.

Officially, my title is "Telephone Sales Representative" (aka. telemarketer).

I sell people security systems.

Currently I am babysitting 2 children, 30 hours/week. Ages 3 and 7 months. Sounds like a handful, but they're dolls.

About to take on another job (with another infant) to bump myself up to full-time hour status.

I'm really not that much of a kid lover, but the pay is great and it's better than dealing with crabby people!

And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

I manage and coordinate graphics (print, video, multimedia, web) projects for a large firm that does research for the government. My actual title is "Graphics Project Coordinator". It's a good job...the jobs are always changing, dynamic, and challenging. I also started an advertising agency on the side which I work on most nights...we have a couple clients and hopefully that'll eventually become a full-time gig once we win a couple major contracts.

I am waiting with increasing desperation for our green card to come through at which point I will do *anything*........ (Well, OK, almost anything :wink: ) to get out of the house.

Before the kids came I used to do admin type work which can be good fun depending on the company and means I can follow John around (geographically not literally!) with relative ease - but I think I'm going to need to do something more basic to fit into Mothers hours for a while yet.
Pfft.

Oh, yes.. sorry for the hijack. I am, if one wishes to put it truthfully, a professional kibitzer. People pay me to give them my opinion of how they ought to do things.

I am quite sure this will surprise no one here.

Care to elaborate?

I've gathered from your posts, that you own several businesses?

Hmmm... now that I think about it I have heard some people say Larry is full of it. I did not realize they were concerned for his health.

That's sweet. ^_^

I quit my practice as an attorney to be a stay-at-home mom. That takes up most of my time.

To get out of the house, I own a small business that runs a yoga studio. I also do some freelance writing. I serve on a committee at a local hospital.
