I am playing/hanging out with a beautiful client dog at work. He might be the second handsomest GSD I've met. I'm a little biased on who the first one is I love my job because its hard to have a bad day when you work with animals, at least in my book.
Ooo get to know you question. What do you do for work? Do you enjoy it? I love hearing what other people do.
I'm a medical assistant turned kennel worker right now. I love working in the medical field, but my last job really burnt me out. The people, the drama, the hours....made me unhappy. So I quit my good paying full time job at a big clinic, to work part time at a boarding kennel for less pay. Its not something I'll do forever, but I'm happier. And overall less stressed/anxious. I have more spare time to do what I want and I get to bring my dogs to work and hang out with them all day. Some day I'll go back to being a medical assistant, just not now.

Talking to H about what he wants for lunch or dinner for his promotion. We are gonna go up to base to the clothing store. Then maybe to lowe's to pick up the last of the pickets for the fence.
Work I don't work right now. I occasionally baby-sit for friends when they have doctor appointments.
I am actually getting some work done! I closed GBCN a while ago, and popped back in bc I just finished one big project. But I'm leaving again as soon as I post this.
I manage real estate (high rise buildings) in Chicago. I love my work, it's really challenging, but I work crazy tons of hours and am always (100% of the time, all day, all night, all the time) stressed out about something and I am starting to wish that I could leave and take on something way less challenging. Mostly because I worry that the stress is a part of out TTTC.
But I know I'll never leave because I love what I do, and I truly want it all - a baby, my H, a perfectly cleaned apartment, good meals, and my career.
I'm lounging on the couch before going to a 2-year-olds birthday party.
I work in a related field of Special Education. I have a love hate relationship with my job. I love the students but hate most of the adult interaction of my job. Unfortunately, paperwork and adult interaction is 60% of my work. I'm seriously considering a career change but I know it won't happen for the next 5 years or so. Plus, I don't know what else I want to do.
I'm "working" today. My boss is traveling and my bitchy coworker is "working from home," so I'm mostly dicking around today. I'll get a few things done... eventually. I'm going to lunch with a friend who I just learned works right near me!
I'm a patent paralegal and admin. Guess which of those jobs my pay is based on? *-) I kind of hate what I do, but then sometimes I realize it's pretty neat. It's boring as fuck (same processes/procedures, over and over and over; mostly paperwork-type stuff), but when I think about it, it IS pretty cool that I have an integral part of getting my company's patents issued. Plus, I have a TON of leeway and flexibility with my boss. I just wish I could work from home.

My dad has been a special ed teacher for like 15 years. He loves it, but I knows its definitely a challenge. He also teaches a tough age (jr high) so that can be interesting too. I started out study special education when I went to college, but I hated the paperwork so I changed majors.

I'm a stay at home mom. I was a paralegal and an auditor, but I didn't really enjoy either.
The YMCA has a parent's night out tonight, so DD is going to that. We are checking out a barbeque place and will probably stop by a local bar to play pool. We haven't had a date night in a while, so I'm looking forward to it.
I left work a little early and went to Target. I hardly bought anything, but managed to spend $80. Opps.
I am a vocational counselor for people with disabilities. I wouldn't say that I enjoy it, but it is ok. I am an introvert, so dealing with people all day long tires me out. Plus, I have several tough cases on my case load right now and even though the majority of people I work with are awesome, those few people tend to color my view on everything job related.
I am sitting on the couch wondering what I should eat next. I'm thinking I'll have a banana and then read a book for a bit.
I am a sixth grade teacher. I teach math and language arts. Most of the time I love it, but I have one incredibly difficult student (and parent) this year and I'm trying to not let him ruin the year for me.
I'm laying on the couch watching tv after a long week at work. I did go to yoga/meditation tonight so I'm feeling pretty chill.
I'm an attorney and love what I do (most days), but hate where I work. I had been trying to stick it out, but now that there's no prospect of a kiddo on the horizon, I'm focusing on finding a new job and possibly a career change.
Lots of teachers!! I'm a gen ed and spec ed teacher, too. Half of my day I teach English Honors and the other half is in a separate school (in the same building) for teens with Emotional Disorders/Disturbances. I love that part of my day.
I'm getting burnt out, though, so I'm back in school to be a school social worker.
