i'm sure this has been done before, but i thought it sounded like fun. going along with an idea from shazzers post, since most of us here are adults, you dont have to get too technical, but i would like to ask. "what does everyone do for a living"?

i guess i'll start it off. i've been working for an auto finance company for the last 5 years. i get to sit at a desk and hit buttons on a computer all day. sure there is more to it than that but i dont want to get fired for company disclosure, just in case any of my co workers are trolling the boards. =)

Great post! Bring back the old comradery that has been missing from this site recently!
I have been in the lighting industry for longer than many of you have been alive. By lighting, I mean when you walk into a building like a restaurant or office, or out into the parking lot, you can see and things look good as opposed to chandeliers and wall sconces although I do that also! Landscape lighting was my specialty at one time! I got laid off this year and have been writing articles and a novel and studying internet selling!

I love this site.......I do payroll, accounting, etc... And yes I deal with CA's calling on EE's all the time. I am really nasty with them. Since I am dealing with two myself right now personally ...(first time), I hate them and wont' be nice when they call. :)
You have all helped me with our employees and their problems with these low lifes. I just refer to your forums and give them the advice I have read on. Thanks a bunch.

Soaplady - now I understand your username :) I always thought you either liked to watch soap operas, or that maybe it made some sort of reference to you being on your "soap-box".

I control a privately-held finance company -- basically you could say the owners have entrusted me to run their business for them. I manage day-to-day operations, underwrite new loans, supervise credit & collections activities, and perform anything accounting-related. Since the 1950's our mainstay has been, like bastoops, financing automobiles and other chattel goods (motorcycles, boats, furniture, appliances, etc).

I've been working in the financial industry for the past 9 years, I used to be a teller/personal banker and now I'm an Admin. Assistant in our Commercial Banking Department. I work for one of the top ten Commercial Banks in the U.S. I also work part-time retail.
My last day at both of my jobs is October 30th as I'm moving to Stone Mountain, GA..right outside of Atlanta. Don't have a job officially lined up but I have a few leads so I'm hopeful...Thank goodness for my supportive soon to be fiance. (found the ring by mistake) :-)

Tania, You don't know how much you mean to everyone here. I used to come in here after a bad day, or a nasty phone call, and there you were. All of you uplifting messages always put a smile on my face!!! You are an asset to this forum!!!!

Now back to the OP lol.

I now work with cheese :) We take 20#, 42# and 640# blocks of cheese and we slice, shred, grate, and cube the different cheese for grocery stores, resturants, deli's and other companies that may need a small package in a kit. This is the perfect job for me because I LOVE cheese. But there are a few that I have found I don't like the taste or smell of, like my least fav. is Romano (you leave work and pray your car doesn't soak up that smell) I hate the smell of Parm., blue cheese makes me just sick, Swiss I just hate the taste, and Feta cheese (you need a rain suit to work with this cheese, there is so much juice it's just gross) I have been doing this for almost a year now. Before that I used to build lawnmowers and snowblowers (that job sucked big time)

i am pretty much a stay at home mom, but i do pretty much anything i can for some cash here and there i clean houses, babysit, wash cars whatever. Scince it was costing me more to go to work than to stay home this is how i make ends meet. as retarded as it sounds i saved money by illiminating child care costs, fuel expenses, and vehicle maintence i have alot more time to dedicate to watching my money closer, clipping coupons and whatever. But i have to say that this is the hardest job i ever had and i dont get paid for it! but in the end its all good!
