    Helper of the sick
    I have been an Intensive Care Unit registered nurse for about a year now, it is great to help people who are so ill. I worked as a critical care emergency medical technician for the last 12 years on ambulances, I still do this but as a volunteer now. I also teach classes for the american heart association

    Well right out of college I
    Well right out of college I was working as a full time photographer for a small newspaper. I loved it, until the assignments were drying up, and the editors didnt really care about the photos. So I left and now I work as a professional for the Boy Scouts..... its a job. Lots of nights and weekends and a ton of driving, I drive at least 2000 miles a month just for work. So I am looking for a way out, have been thinking about going back to school to teach but I need to bump up my GPA first. For fun I love being outside hiking, kayaking, etc etc, I am also a volunteer firefighter. I really enjoy helping other people.

    me and my day job
    I own a retail and wholesale plant nursery in Monmouth County NJ . Im posting this on March 1st which is our opening day for the season and dusting off those rusty bones after a long winters nap made me feel a hell of a lot older then 42 . I guess gold will turn to grey and youth will fade away .I love what I do for a living , Ive been in the nursery business since I was 11 years old and to be making a living at what you love is a trip . LET IT GROW , LET IT GROW - GREATLY YIELD.

    Like cosmicbadger and maye, a lot are new- I'm one of them, tho old in the sense that I always had this site as my web browser. In the pat it would conk out at times and on a few days it was out of comission altogether, so I couldn't even get on the web at work! i never signed on, just as a voyeur! Now my school district gave me a laptop and I have spent hours of time at home (like a good employee) become acquainted with it. just so happens that since it still opens up to this site- it was about time to join. As for me, I am an art teacher, this is year 25, 24 in the same district. I love it and have fun all day with the kids. And as reward lessons, we do tie dye! (and batik!) Ami

    Turning the world green
    From the inside out. Work with Fortune 500 companies and have been able to influence, convince, shuck and jive a way for them to want to sell more of their 'green' products. Mostly energy/ water conservation, sustainable materials, indoor air quality (low VOC), etc. Trying to change the world from the inside out....hee-hee! I am one of the new folks on line and it would seem that highly optimized organic search results could be the reason for so many new people. Good links, title tags, and time do wonders for google page rank, if I could only remember what it was that I googled :-)

    I do not work, right now.......
    I am a 38 year old freshman at a local university here in Columbus. I have been in the hotel industry as a front desk man and like doing that. I speak Spanish and am working on my degree so I can teach or maybe land a job in a resort in Spain or Mexico. Still, English is the language everywhere, but where I hope to eventually live, Spanish will be it. Need more Sunshine then Ohio has to offer. Ohio is a great place, however. So many great folks here.

Hey everyone in this awesome forum! 👋 I thought I'd introduce myself and share a bit about my day job. I'm a house painter based right here in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia! 🇦🇺

I absolutely love what I do – transforming homes both inside and out with a splash of color and a touch of magic. From giving exteriors a fresh new look to adding personality to interiors, it's all about creating spaces that truly feel like home. 🌈🖌️

Currently, I'm part of a fantastic team at "Australian Painting and Maintenance Services Pty. Ltd." 🏢 Our crew is a bunch of skilled painters who take great pride in our work. We're all about delivering top-notch results, using high-quality materials to make sure our clients' visions come to life! 💪

If you're curious about our work or just love to see some impressive before-and-after shots, you can check out our website at australianpainting.com.au. We're always excited to showcase our projects and inspire others with our passion for painting! 🎉
Oh, and before I wrap up, I have to mention that besides my passion for house painting, I'm an avid Grateful Dead fan too! 🌹🎶 Their music has been the soundtrack to many of my painting sessions, creating a groovy and inspiring atmosphere. Some of my all-time favorite Grateful Dead songs are "Ripple," "Sugar Magnolia," and "Touch of Grey" - they never fail to lift my spirits! 🎵✨

Speaking of Australia, the Grateful Dead did have a memorable live show here! 🇦🇺🎤 In 1981, they graced the stage at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey, which was broadcasted live on the radio, reaching Deadheads worldwide, including us fans in Australia. Although they never performed a live show down under, their music and influence have certainly traveled far and wide, touching the hearts of many grateful fans across the globe. 🌏🌈 Keep on truckin', fellow Deadheads! 🚚💀🌹

So I just started my post-retirement gig with Trader Joe's
I love this place! The people, the employees, the food... all good!
If you have not been to a Trader Joe's in your area, go check it out and tell me what you think. Either way, I feel good about myself helping people find and prepare quality foods they'll enjoy at a reasonable price.

Engineering. First five years out of college was civil/construction in Eugene, OR. Since 1997 it's been software/internet/web in Boulder, CO. What a long strange trip it's been.
