    I started out too many yrs ago as a waitress @ .78 cents an hour. Tips were supposed to bring us up to min wage. Then a CNA for many yrs until I injured my back and the last 16 yrs I have been a Supervisor, working with developmentally handicapped adults. Liked the job but loved my clients. Was forced to retire last yr on disability after my latest, one of way to many, back surgeries. I don't miss the job--too many changes with the economy but I sure as the devil miss my clients!!

    Registered nurse, worked mostly maternal/child and psychiatry, also IV therapy. Retired now, do what I want, when I want. Some days I am happy with that, most days I miss the high of nursing.

    Hi, I'm a library technician (librarian) at an elementary school in San Diego. Love my job. Are we the only quilters working in libraries?
