Don't Give Up Your Day Job

This being so much like a family, I would like to get to know you all better if you'd like to share! What do you do in your day job? how do you spend your free time (or relax with hobbies?) I know many of you know each other but give me a chance to catch up!

I am a Respiratory Therapist by day...for the past <gulp> 27 years. (and after saying that, I feel very OLD) eek I LOVE it...LOVE it, LOVE it...and I can't even imagine doing anything else !

I love whitewater rafting (what a thrill!)...horseback riding, living in the mountains, traveling and spending time with my friends and family. ( and speaking of that, I can't wait to see you ALL at the next Weekend at Bernies, or the next Raspberries concert, whichever comes first spin

For those who don't know, I have been in the lottery industry since 1978. Until 2001 I worked exclusively on the Lottery side of the business. I retired in 2001, 1)- because I was old enough, 2)- to get away from the legislative idiots who just don't get it. The BS was overwhelming. I'll stop at that, otherwise this will become a rant.

I am still in the business but work on the vendor side. What a relief. We are a security printer based in Florida (parent is Canadian) and supply lotteries worldwide with scratch off tickets.

As for hobbies I love watching old movies, especially musicals.

My husband and I enjoy antique and secondhand shops.

I'm an avid reader of Murder Mysteries, in particular Victorian ones.

I'm the marketing director and community liaison for a small nursing home. I've been doing this for just a year. Prior to this, I was an activity director in a nursing home for 15 years.

In my free time, I spoil my husband and cat, do genealogy and scrapbooking. I'm also pretty good at restoring old photographs on the computer. And of course, my favorite activity is shopping!!

Department Chair for General Education for a private, proprietary business college. I spend most of my spare time with my wife and daughter, and my rambunctious terrier mix Ralph. I enjoy watching movies, playing my guitar (I know just enough to be dangerous to anyone within earshot), hiking, and (believe it or not) yard and garden work.

I'm a VP at a relatively small commerical finance company. We make loans to, and work with, small/mid size businesses whose financial condition is somewhat less than blue-chip.

I'm working on starting my own company in the same industry....I hope to get off the ground this year but still have some hurdles to overcome.

I'm a Cost Analyst at a corporation that manufactures conveyors and conveying systems. I've been here for 22 years. Yikes. I guess you could say this is my second family. After all these years, every week one of the three brothers that own the company hands you your check, chit chats, and wishes you a good weekend. Now you know why I'm still here.

In my spare time I used to like cooking, reading, walking, soaking up the sun (which is hard in Wisconsin), traveling and generally just being with my Sweetheart who makes me laugh. And playing with the kitties. Who make me laugh.

Now my spare time is filled with wiping down the shower stall, vacuuming, etc. in effort to sell my condo and cleaning up construction dust at the house.

Thank God it's only temporary! smile
