  just another way to get to know eachother:) Reply Contact What does everyone do for work? Even the moms that arent working now, what did you do prior to becoming a mommie? I figure this gives us something to talk about other then being preggo, so we still feel normal lol! Also helps to get to know eachother! Ill start... I am someone you ALL hate lol! I am a phone sales lady...BUT I get incoming calls, so its not THAT bad! Ive only been with the company for 6 months, its not my favorite thing to do, but it pays the bills. I was working in retail photography before, I was an asst manager at a photo studio locally for the past 4 yrs , but it closed due to the ecomony:( I still do private photogrpaphy on the side though, but its not my main income! I actually went to school for early childcare and I taught preschool for 7 yrs, until my son passed away and it was too hard so I had to leave the profession...it is my heart though, Ill go back someday...when Im ready! Thats me...Jack of all trades lol! Whos next?

Reply Contact I do accounts (dual control with owner's wife) and executive PA for owner and general manager (their son), at an air conditioning company here in Ft. Worth, Texas. I've been here for over 2 years now, and I like it apart from some changes in the last 12 mths. I had been working towards being able to work at least half the day from home, but the new office manager seems to want to rip that possibility out from under me. However, I know the owner is working towards the possibility of having staff permanently work from home, so I'm still hopeful.

  Re: just another way to get to know eachother:) Reply Contact  As you guys have probably figured out from my prior post im an EMT and I work for Rural/Metro Medical Services (Ambulance Company) For the most part its an easy going job some days we run our butts off and other days I sleep most of my shift. My Dr. is already telling me that once I get a belly that he's prob gonna take me out so I dont get another back injury. Which is kinda sucky but as long as it keeps the baby and me  healthly im sure ill be able to find things to do around the house.

  Re: just another way to get to know eachother:) Reply Contact  I was a waitress/bartender for years! But when I was about 23, I decided to get a "real job" and became a jeweler at a jewlery store. I had lots of fun, but I made way more money working as a bartender. Worked as a jeweler until my oldest daughter was born in 2003 and I have been a SAHM ever since. Although, right now, my husband and I are apart of a motivational strength team known as the Conquerors!!

  Re: just another way to get to know eachother:) Reply Contact I am currently a SAHM/student. I quit my job as a Supervisor at CVS Pharmacy to stay home because I could not afford child care with the little I was paid at my job. I do online schooling while staying home with my son everyday. I absolutely love being home with my son and hope that I can do this with all my children at least until they get into school.

I love my job, and will continue teaching after the baby comes. It helps that my older daughter goes to the school where I teach, and my younger daughter will attend next year!

  Re: just another way to get to know eachother:) Reply Contact Right now I am an Eligibility Specialist for MI Dept. of Human Services. Basically, I help people get enrolled in our assistance programs (food, medical, day care, emergency services, etc.). It’s a good job with great benefits but it is VERY stressful. I would love to have my OB take me off work early! Before this I did a little of everything. I was casino security, casino surveillance, a beauty consultant, retail, jewelry sales, a little bit of everything! I was going to school for nursing and am just a few credits shy of my Bachelors in Biology, I hope to finish that up in the next year or so.
