I know I have said this before but I will state it here in all it's glory!!!...........I am a seamstress and I hate it with every fiber of my being! I have been for over 25 years!!!! EWWWWWWWWW!

Not necessarily the sewing part.....I used to design and make costumes for exotic dancers and I loved that (*Special Note....Hubby love it too!) But I was offered a lot of money to help in the upholstery business and I took it leaving my own business by the wayside.

All seamstresses out there will tell you.....Don't ever let anyone you know.....you can sew!!! And although I have made history in a sense (Made the seating for the 2002 Academy Awards at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood) I don't like sewing or pattern making any better!

I would love to make a business of stained glass........the big stuff......not those damn suncatchers! I am dabbling now.

The unpredictable glory of telecommunications is where I'm at. I've been doing it for a little over 2 years now. I'm a network operations center technican...a lot of big words for using a computerized switching system to monitor and correct problems people have with their phones. If your T1 is down, I'm the gal you call first. :) Well actually, don't call me, I don't talk to clients lol

paralegal specializing in estate and tax planning for the very wealthy -- sounds like it would be boring -- but I love it.... I get to work directly with people and because we work almost exclusively with clients worth over $10 million, well..... I get to draft language for a lot of different kinds of gifts and gifting. jjjjbo

I am a nurse, a Registered Nurse, for eight years, went to work right from school on the floor at a large New Orleans hospital, received advanced training in emergency care (TNCC, ACLS to you also in medicine) and transfered to the ER. spent two years of watching other's pain and suffering and torment, and when the chance to manage an outreach clinic came along, I took it.
I now manage one full time clinic and a part time clinic, and have done my job too well. Things are now so smooth I hardly ever do any real nursing anymore, and have little managing to do, mostly scheduling and ordering supplies, and long boring pointless meetings. At least it is days Mon to FR.

I am a secretary for an outpatient mental health clinic. I make appointments for clients, assist the docs, read their handwriting and generally try to make things easier for the therapists. I also am the "eyes" for one of our therapists who is completely blind. I assist her with her paperwork, do treatment plans and progress notes for her, and assist her clients when they need things done.

In the past, I worked in retail, in a contract branch post office, was a telephone service representative (you know, operators are standing by....btw, we were not standing by, we had comfy chairs), administrative assistant for an advertising agency, worked in the scanning office for a supermarket, and audited time sheets for the census.

sorry to have submitted my entire resume <giggle>
