I graduated with a B.A. in Political Science 14 years ago. Since then, I have been renovating stainless steel diners from the east and shipping them all over the world, sometimes following them to consult on their installation. I actually appeared on the History Channel and the Food Network a couple years ago. I guess you'd call me a historical renovationist, but I just really like to recycle.
i'm a chimney sweep. my father ownes the company and i will probably take over. by the way, if you said "like marry poppins?" you owe me a dollar. "if i had a dollar for every time..."
I hear ya. Do you know how many times I have heard, "YO, Adrienne"? So original.

216 posts on this thread, and I just now decide to post. I work as a visual merchandiser for a major retailer out of NY, it was a position I kinda just fell into. Anyways, I'm good at what I do, and have a eye for the fine details, and basically get to do whatever the f*ck I want for 40 hours a week. My company pays for me to go to NY once every 6 mos, and other locations throughout the Midwest. I dont know how the hell I can possibly make a long-term career out of this, but I'm happy enough to keep trying to make it happen. I am moving into the city after the 'roo, to get myself positioned to get into our flagship location, and then hopefully onto the regional visual merchandising manager position at some point down the road after that. The RVMM job is sick, lots of free traveling, and I'd get to oversee about 80+ locations. Anyways, most peeps on this board are not fashion industry friendly, but you know what, it pays the bills, and it pays the bills well. To utilize my most overused quote: "It is what it is" ;D
i do inventory control (basically drive a forklift and scan things) for a company that makes plastic manifolds and interior/exterior trim for the auto industry. its layed back and when i find a wetspot on the floor i can do 180's and try 360's
i'm in medical school and the husbands a lawyer. we're going to be the reverse Huxtables! i'm also getting a PhD and will be defending my dissertation on the 25th - Roo is the pre-party BTW my husband is a public defender, so if anyone finds themselves in an unfortunate situation he's your guy!

I am a certified nurses assistant, going to school to be an R.N. Adam's also going to school to be and r.n., so we can travel and get paid to do it! Yay!
We treat mishaps like sinking ships and I know that I don't want to be out to drift Well I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips and They both tell me that we're better than this
I'm the broadcast production manager at a political consulting/PR/advertising firm. Which means I do a little bit of everything: * producing radio spots and press conferences * talent casting, booking and negotiations * processing invoices and tracking down w9 forms from vendors * billing * fighting with accounting over billing * coordinating studio time for edits, mixes and voiceover records * booking crew * budgets - creating and making sure we are working within them * timelines * overseeing the PAs and interns * babysitting * hand holding * talking people down from ledges
I am a... no freaking clue. HR says I am a Project Coordinator but I am a Jane of All Trades. Project Manager, life organizer, SOP writer and implementer... I get paid to organize people so they can make a heck of a lot more than me and I deal with clients in the military, government and power and other energy plants. It's sexy.
When I take of my conservative gray suit and leave cubicle hell I am a freelance writer, blogger diva, fashion consultant (boo hiss! ) and I sell The Body Shop stuff as an at-home consultant enough to keep my 25% discount. Oh, and I am the assistant from my hubby the photographer.

i work for a privately owened corporation quasi monopoly - if i gave you my official title, you'd just look at me and go "Ahh, soo... what does that mean?" I really don't know how to reply to it. For months I've been musing @ exactly what I do - sometimes I'm not sure. I analyze data and I track trends in errors. So I guess in layman's terms I'm a database analyzer. I'm a robot. LOL
I plan to abandon my 12 hour days the moment I get on the highway and forget that my job has a long and lengthly title that changes every 5 months or so with no promotion, but more work.
How many of us are lost in the corporate world with no idea what we're doing? How many of us want to forget our 8-5 jobs for this weekend?
