I was an Administrative Assistant in the Quality Assurance department of Wavecom in Northridge, CA.  I am retired now and a Lightworker.

Love,

while raising kids mostly I would take in roomers to help pay rent; this progressed to buying old houses, fixing them, and making a profit on its sale by buying low and selling high. finally made enough money to enable me to sit in front of a computer all day writing! ha ha! am retired now and don't want to fix another pipe or roof for as long as I live!
had a housekeeping business once, raised chickens to sell eggs, grew strawberries, rented pasture, sold junk, did typesetting, threw newspapers, worked for a grocer, was a go go girl, and sang for my supper, well, Ryan, u do what you have to, you know?
what you do is not necessarily who you are love!

Good luck Lydia. 

Namaste,
Mairlyn

I have a graphic design business.

Never had a job, got no time for that! Hope someone comes along and PAYS for what I usually do everyday, music playing&editing, painting, photos, digital designing, writing, eating, sleeping, TV, reading, have a walk......

   I need to vent

  Operative word would be What "was" your job, as i just got fired from mine today (yeah, just add that one to the list Total Self, you son of a bleepity bleep, and got in the biggest fight a day before since the dawn of creation with my Twin Soul).

Apparently slavery is still very much alive in the South, and Da Boss man (actually woman) doesn't take kindly to someone sticking up for themsevles.

  I work nights, and a physical job to boot, and she started to schedule me during the days occasionally, which would have not been too bad if she wasn't scheduling me for when i was working the night before and the night after the day shift in question! 

  Yeah, when am i supposed to sleep?  I'm not a He/She in the sleep department. 

And she would totally change my schedule around after the fact, and she did this to everyone (for the record EVERYONE complained about her, and the position i was in doesn't seem to last to long with anyone person).

  Nobody whether full time, or part time was allowed breaks, and from the time i went into work, till the time i went out, i worked with no stopping.   

  So i eventually wrote a brief, impersonal, but firm note saying, i'm not going to come in during the day shift if i'm scheduled to work that morning before.  I told her it was inconsiderate to expect that of me, or anyone.  I asked her if she had considered the fact that my job is the most physical there, and the fact that i had aleady told her i was having major sleeping problems for the first time in my life.

  I would prefer a more stable schedule, etc. 

   So she just bided her time after that, to hire someone else, then just let me go with no warning.   Sneaky so and so (a theme lately)!

  Boycott 7-11!  LOL especially the Tappahannock VA 7-11!

  Well, i'm not really mad, as i was getting pretty fed up with her pushiness, rudeness and total lack of concern for others.  Didn't mind the actual job all that much...and the people were pretty kool.

  But, living in a po-dunk area, i'm just a bit worried in finding another job as this doesn't look too good as well.  And still that stupid scooter hasn't showed up yet

  Hmmm...have been thinking about being a Male Stripper...    Lol well the equipment isn't really big enough for that, and i don't want to be "objectified" anyways (no matter how sexy i am ) Hurrumph!

  Can you all get together and manifest me a great, awesome and fulfilling job...  Course we have to do the whole Jesus bit first, "Yeah, yeah, God Thy Will be Done, and all that stuff"

  Or we could do it in the Spirit of Christ's Last Tempatation with William DeFoe playing Jesus "Gawd, Gawd, Gawd"

Ah... is this what a breakdown feels like?  Everything gets REALLL Funny and sad at the same time?

thats soo horrible that someone would fire you on new years jeez im sorry, dont worry youll find a better job with someone wholl treat you good
