I have a very boring job! I work for my mom, she owns a cultured marble company! So I sit in this office all day long and do pretty much nothing. The days feel like weeks! But the best part is, I get to spend my days on here bc my mom doesnt care! LOL

I am a Billing Analyst for Verizon Business, no....... MCI, no..... WorldCom, no.....LDDS. LOL They have changed the name so many times in the last 11 years it almost a joke. But I love my job, not so happy with the company though. I have never worked for a large company before and it has really been an eye opening experience. I owned 3 pet shops and groomed dogs fro 25 years. Made a great living and raised my 2 girls. I thought this would be a nice change. Now I'm just waiting for retirement to come. 4 more years........yea!

I'm a medical transcriptionist which kinda holds hands with medical records. I have been doing it off and on for the last 17 years. I work in an office now, but getting ready to go home and do it. I also like to read the patient's charts.

I work in the County Auditor's office. I do land real estate transfers. I also work with GIS mapping. So if anyone takes a piece of land and divides it I get to go on the computer and draw it. I work with personal property , mobile homes, and
exemptions. I have been doing this job for 4 years here and 19 years elsewhere.
It's a job. But then it's all I know. I have 20 years to go before I can retire.
But things may be looking up come the first of the year.

I need a night guard...I grind my teeth!! Hook it up!! Hahaha, just kidding, I know I have to go through my stupid insurance company who will then rip me off.

Okay back on topic. I am a student (I guess that's my career for now). I want to eventually work with less advantaged women and children...

I'm a Civil Engineering Technician. I worked last year in a geotechnical consulting lab, basically going out to construction sites to test soil, concrete, and asphalt, giving suggestions to contractors, and bringing samples back to the lab where I would run more tests. I came back to school in January, and I've been in school all year long, even right through summer! But when I graduate in December I'll be a Technologist, which means I can get a higher position than just working in a lab. I can supervise, draft, or assist engineers. If I decide, and can afford, to take 2 more years of school in the future I can get my degree and be a REAL engineer
