What’s your 9 to 5?

[greendaze5]

Just curious - what's everyone’s 9 to 5?

Astronaut? Supermodel? Celebrity chef? Professional Stevie impersonator? Etc., etc.

Me –nothing glamorous. I work as a medical illustrator at a university in Canada. Well, it’s a living.

I'm a business and history student in my junior year at a SUNY college. It doesn't pay well (I have to pay them ) and sometimes, especially on Thursdays this semester, I'm basically there from 12:50 to after 9 PM (it's Sci Fi Forum meeting and diner run that night)

I sleep as late as my body will let me(usually noon), then I either:
1) Do sound or lights for a band, that evening.
2) Play in a band, on weekends.
3) Deal with rental properties, being a landlord.

I've really got it made. Not so much money wise, but time wise. I usually have about 3-4 days off a week. There are weeks (few) that I'll work 6-7 days, and there are weeks when I only work 2 days. I like it like that. It allows for my travels.

So, is it harder to get the paint off of wood or metal?

I've already taken two separate weeks in Nashvegas, in 2011. Where the beer runs are walks down on Broadway, drinking PBR, with a flask of Jim Beam Red Stag in my coat pocket.

At home, I rarely drink beer. Solo, I drink red wine. With company, usually whiskey and a mixer.

My current 9 to 5 is increasingly becoming one giant daydream, which revolves around wishing i had a different 9 to 5

Editor.

I like it because I get to read all my favorite usage books & get paid for it: Fowler, Follett, Barzun, Partridge, Garner, Gowers, & so on.

Nice to see all of the medical professionals on the board. My dear ol' Mum was a RN before major back and knee problems forced her to retire early. She was an excellent oncology nurse, and I know it kills her not to be able to do it anymore. Las Vegas doesn't have a nursing union, so she walked away with nothing but medical problems of her own. Now, money for her is pretty tight. I feel terrible for her. Not to mention she's married to a complete dick, but that's an entire other thread.

I wanna get into the Medical business.
But what should I do?

Probably dental or cosmetic surgery.

I'm a psychology undergrad, hoping to do either research or clinical when I finish. It changes a lot, depending on what day of the week it is and what I had for breakfast...

My current 9 to 5 is applying for jobs full time, and volunteering when and where I can. Hence my volunteering to moderate here at the Ledge .

Most recently, I worked for the Federal Reserve Bank for 4 years researching accounting errors. I would have happily stayed at that job for a long time, but the Federal Reserve is a shrinking entity. My department was eliminated a year ago, and all employees were displaced. Since Charlotte's economy relied on banking, and banking is in the toilet, I moved back to my hometown of Austin to search for work. I have another job interview next Friday... hopefully it goes well! Louie needs a JOB!!
