English teacher at a University

I was a rural mail carrier.

I book and run events for the City of Seattle - have been there coming up on 32 years. Ran almost all rock concerts for about 12 years, then went part time when we started a family and stayed PT since - family shows, opera, ballet, conventions, dog shows, rock concerts, festivals, presidential visits marathon, etc.

I'm thinking I could be sewing! But these are so interesting!

Nurse, Infection Control and Prevention, and now 48 hospitals consult with me.
Thanks for asking and this is interesting.

I was a pet groomer for 30 years, now I work part time for a company that downsizes seniors and I love it.

I was a Professional Debt Collector for the last 9 years I worked.(Yeah... the one that starts every conversation with: This is an attempt to collect a debt...etc, etc, etc, blah,blah,blah!)I retired in 2009...that lasted about 3 months. Since then I ave been a Nanny to some awesome kids!

My husband and I run a small (very small) company and I do the books. In my former life, I was a bartender. lol

Promises to try and write in full sentences after this post ;)

I'm an RN. Hospital/bedside nursing is my thing though I did home health (and loved it) for several years while I lived in San Diego. My current job (for the past 14 years) is night shift on a solid organ transplant unit. Nights is starting to wear me down but the pay is excellent and how else am I gonna afford fabric?

My OFFICIAL title is Crime Reporting Field Representative. I am a certified fingerprint specialist. I train law enforcement personnel in both ink and data fingerprint techniques throughout the state of Oklahoma.

Retired as of 2008 due to injury at the job and no desk job to be had to recovery from injury. Started out as a secretary/bookkeeper at a golf course owned by the City of Orlando, FL, moved up to Asst. Supervisor for the City's Parking Dept (parking lots and garages), moved over to the Police Dept as a CSI for the last 19 years of a 26.5 yr span. Sure glad I wasn't working there during the massacre that recently happened. I did know all but one cop involved at the shooting as he started in 2014 and I've been up here in Iowa since 2010.

I'm a retired special education teacher. I taught in a center-based school for an Intermediate School District. Our students came from public schools from several counties. The students were classified as severely emotionally impaired with severe behavior problems. Their intellect ranged from mildly mentally handicapped to gifted. We also included programs for Autistic students. Ages ranged from preschool through 26. It was a rewarding profession while being a challenging one.

Primary care provider, CENA, Med Assistant. Presently in an assisted living facility

Worked in the office at a few auto dealerships. Then accidently was hired as a secretary for an Arc, for developmental disabilities. Found my happy place! I retired there after 38 years as Assistant to the Director.

I retired in August 2016 after 35 years with the Department of Defense as a Human Resources Specialist, first for hiring then the last 18 years in training. I managed a large leader development program and taught leadership courses. It was a nice career but 35 years of government bureaucracy is enough.

I've done many things in my lifetime, but spent the last 21 years as Administration Support/Secretary. I'm disabled now and can't work anymore due to major back problems.

Aerospace Engineer and Quality Assurance Expert now. (Electrical Engineer, Math Major and MBA by degrees), have been a Pipeline Engineer and a part time Math Teacher at the Junior College and worked at a needlework store part time.

I've been a factory worker, secretary, teacher's aide, stay at home mom, housewife, and in March I will become Grandma for the first time. My son and DIL have been married 14 years and have now been able to conceive. We are having a grandson! :thumbup:

Metal fabricator

I was in finance and accounting all my life. Retired now.

sewingsuz: I'm still in it. I want to retire. Yesterday! :) Still have a number of years left, but maybe if I put it all in a spreadsheet....hm......lol

Was an Executive Assistant for 20 yrs in the city and loved it.

NOW I'm a Sheep Farmer in the middle of nowhere and love it more!

:o

I am a seamstress in a large bridal shop. I love my job! I have a few years to go before I retire but I am looking forward to it. I used to work in a quilt shop and I have been a bank teller, news caster for local radio, day care provider, and for a long time was a full time mom. We have 6 kids so it was cheaper for me to stay home with the kids and do day care for other working moms. I would have worked to pay the babysitter. I have done lots of things. Sewing is my one huge favorite thing to do.

Retired office manager for a metal fabrication company. Worked for 35 years for the same company.

Unemployed but worked in Accounts Payable for 20 years and hated it lol

Nursing,Retired now

Hospital Administrator and former critical care and trauma nurse. I doubt I will ever retire LOL

Rural physician....when I stitched up boo boos,I'd ask the patient what stitch they wanted...feather? Buttonhole etc? Got some laughs.

Am retired as of 2008 but when I moved to Orlando, FL back in 1981 I started out as a secretary for the city's golf course, moved up to an Asst. Supervisor for their Parking Dept and finished out my last 19 years as a CSI for their police dept.

Just read this morning where one of our finest in Orlando was killed in the line of duty. What's this world coming to???? So glad I moved to a small town in Iowa was folks wave to each other even if they don't know you.

I retired 1-1-16. I designed and manufactured children's heirloom clothing for high-end children's boutiques for 37 years. It was 11 months before I knew I was really retired. I even forgot that I had joined the Quilting Board. Last year I quilted 2 baby quilts for donation. Knitted 8 baby blankets, crocheted 195 beanies for our Thanksgiving food pantry boxes. During Dec., I finally settled down and enjoyed Christmas without all the chaos. Has anyone else taken so long to realize they didn't have to work and be busy all the time?

I am retired. Was a Medical Social Worker with a speciality in Mental Health and Aging. I was also a certified Activity Therapist. I have been retired now for 29 years. Quilting has been a major pass time as well as paper crafting of just about any kind.

I am employed. Admin assistant. Sewing has been a good therapy tool for me, peace of mind! I still have a few years before I can retire. I don't know really what I'd do if I did retire. I've been so use to working since I was 13 years old.

Retired Systems Analyst. Loved the job, hated how much of it I had to do to keep my job and reputation. 60 - 80 hour weeks killed the enthusiasm. I have a long arm but will Not quilt for money as that makes it a job, and I don't want to work (like that) again.

A very wise move.

I am a retired medical technologist. I worked 40 years in a medical laboratory.
