Work
Someone came to my site the other day and asked me, “What do you do for a living? You post multiple times a day and I just wonder what kind of job allows you to do that.”
I thought that was an interesting question so I thought I would throw it out to you.
What do you do for a living?
Comments (218)
Accounting by day, glorified babysitter by night, bartender by moonlight.
I work in an environment rife with telephone contact and certain legal issues (although I can’t say I know all that much of the law).
More specific than that I would rather not be.
Sincerely,
Ms. Mystery, or Squeaks
I am an overworked, underpaid, underappreciated Jury Commissioner for our local court. It’s kinda like childcare on a much larger scale…………

I go to school.
And the occasional baby-sitting/house-sitting jobs too.
Everything.

I like how you avoided the question. Our inquiring minds want to know what you do.
I work for the State of Arizona.
I’m a medicine student. And, in this glorious country of Sweden, not only is it free to study even at university level, but you get paid to do it; $300/month as a grant, $700 as a loan, and an additional $120 (in my case) to alleviate the cost of living. Sometimes I don’t even realize how good I have it.
At-home Mom. What do you do?!
I am an office manager for an audiologist.
