The tension of working with patients so very ill was stressful enough, but the other staff was very condescending and during the whole two months I felt like an outsider.<br />After the wedding, we moved to another state so Husband could continue his education, but I did not bother to get a nursing license there.<br />Recently, while watching the nurses working so hard while my husband was a patient on the Surgical floor, I am sure I won't go back for more school and seek another job in healthcare.<br />I got to see our local folks who do your job of running trays from Dietary, and Yeah, I can well imagine that would be a good position for you at work.<br /><br />My favorite job was being a stay-at-home mom, which I did from when I was 8 months pregnant with second baby to when third son went to K-gtn, maybe 7 years or so.<br />Yep, me and my boys, sometimes only leaving the yard to go to the grocery store or church or walk to the park.<br /><br />We would do experiments for cooking, art on the wall, build a play tent with a blanket over the table in the dining room.<br />Husband was working a full-time job and a part-time job for paychecks, and for a couple years I took in kids for daycare so my own would have playmates. The money didn't hardly count because of the extra food and water bill.<br /><br />Next favorite job was in the Infant Room of a daycare center. I'm told that I am really good with babies and special needs kids, but I'll tell ya, the adult personality conflicts and control freaks in the office really wore me out.<br />I worked with some of those people 8 full hours a day, and then had the same lunch break, even more time than I was with my husband!<br /><br />Over the years, there have been other ways I have earned money, all legal, thank goodness.<br /><br />Good Topic to bring on discussion!<br /><br />MrsDoF<br /><br />(I'm not sure Blogger is ever consider me a friend and just let me use my signature)MrsDoFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918557035416940110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878071.post-85729423928091046342009-06-18T16:03:08.614-04:002009-06-18T16:03:08.614-04:00i can't IMAGINE the things you've seen in ...i can't IMAGINE the things you've seen in those hotel rooms~~~Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10327991964710241536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878071.post-4968911308457459162009-06-14T22:36:02.375-04:002009-06-14T22:36:02.375-04:00T-Yeh, I have had a few, but they have all been fo...T-Yeh, I have had a few, but they have all been for long periods of time. <br /><br />momma-use it and abuse it momma<br /><br />colby-I hear ya.<br /><br />Lilu-thanks for your support :)<br /><br />Karmyn-lol, I don't know about that, some human messes I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole.♥Caroline♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/00364909664839680979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878071.post-11396790465832140202009-06-14T11:18:16.401-04:002009-06-14T11:18:16.401-04:00I don't think I could ever work in a hotel - u...I don't think I could ever work in a hotel - ugh....just thinking about what people do.<br /><br />However, I worked for a vet clinic for 3 years and cleaned up plenty of gross messes (but somehow dog and cat messes seem a lot less disgusting than people messes)Karmyn Rhttp://karmynsdreamings.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878071.post-67931911470720695712009-06-13T18:07:53.906-04:002009-06-13T18:07:53.906-04:00Oh man- I've worked in more restaurants than I...Oh man- I've worked in more restaurants than I can count on both hands.

My first job, ofcour...Wow, you had a lot of jobs! <br /><br />My first job, ofcourse was babysitting. I was a good babysitter and in high demand. At age 15,and 16 I made over $1,000. per month just from babysitting for several families. Then my first real job, I was the Office Manager for a major furniture company for 11 years. It was ok, but stressful. When I became pregnant, and miscarried at 6 months, because I was working 12 hour days, 7 days a week, for several months, trying to meet deadlines, I just quit. Turned in my keyes, and walked out the door. <br /><br />I went to work 2 weeks later at a preschool/daycare, for a huge cut in pay, but I loved it. Worked there only for a little over a year, then quit, to open my own preschool/daycare out of my home. <br /><br />Which brings me to today, I have had my own childcare at home now for the past 15 years. I have no regrets. :)Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089318003200939942noreply@blogger.com
