Ops Chick- the official title is "Operations Manager" but that doesn't sound quite as much fun

My company does corporate event production and I work in the logistics department. We do airport meet and greet, online housing and registration, meeting production, activities (ie: Everglades tours, Historic Art Deco etc - I'm in Miami) and my favorite off-property and on-property events with decor and entertainment.

It is a fun and diverse job that certainly keeps me on my toes! It can be very stressful and when we're in season (January-June) I work anywhere from 60-100 hours a week- and no, I don't get paid by the hour!

I love posting and chatting on Lit because I can unwind here no matter what my crazy hours are

Of course, there ARE fish to go catch as well.....work, work, work.

I'm an electrical engineer. I supervise other engineers designing instrumentation and control systems for industrial plants in the chemical, foods, and paper industries. Right now I'm on a temporary assignment as an electrical power engineer in Arkansas.

I'm a fashion designer.I pretty much focus on bridal apparal but I also make coctail dresses and evening gowns...

 

[LukkyKnight]

I will not take responsibility for pokemon.

Wow, how do you arrange to get paid for that? It's one of those government schemes, isn't it? Like when they pay farmers to leave the fields to weed instead of planting crops?

 

[SexySlut2]

I used to work as a CNA, then I moved to building shift cables for GM vehicles, got tired of that, so as of the first of the year I became a stay at home mom/house goddess. I am quickly getting bored with this, so I'm thinking about going back to school.

 

[cymbidia]

I just moved and i'm unemployed at the moment.

When doing what i normally do, though, what i'll be back to doing sometime in the foreseeable future, i teach science. The life and geo sciences, mostly, with some astronomy tossed in if i can gfet away with it. My preferred age range are the almost universally reviled 12-15 year old kids, the middle schoolers. I like thier energy. I like thier spontaneity. I like the way they're wildly enthusiastic or dismally bored,without much in-between. One never has to guess if the lesson is going well, only watch her students light up like candles or slump down like mud.

Teaching is the best job in the world.

 

[MissTaken]

Social worker, for now.

I am applying for a position at the local university....wish me luck!

 

[erosman]

stair designer and fabricator

I have a partner in a small, high-end stair shop. We design and build six-figure staircases and their accompanying trim, mostly for residences. It's as freescotfr said, an occupation, not a job. The job part of it, is running a small business - translate: bookkeeping, accounting, sales, maintenance, receptionist, toilet cleaner, etc.

 

[vylette]

I used to teach elementary school, but that was 7 years ago. I have not really missed it all that much. I'd have to say unemployment agrees with me.
