    I'd love an active job like that!

    I have so much energy most of the day & I hate wasting it in front of a computer. Pre-pregnancy - I was working on getting certified in different group ex formats & looking at getting ACE or AFAA certified so I could either do that on the side...or eventually if H gave the go ahead to be a SAHM....I could still do something fun/adult time & make extra $$. I'm also a Beachbody Coach (they are the creators of P90X, Turbo Jam, etc), which gives a nice cushion so my plan is to mix the two eventually & have that pay for the kiddo extras/college fund. All that fun stuff.  ;)

     

    Now that my preggo body hates cardio - I've had to put a hold on the trainings until post-baby...still thinking I can make the goal work starting next summer!

     

    Ok, long response! SHEESH! Let me know if you ever want more info on the group ex stuff...I've done some research and have some friends that have recently finished some of the training. :)

  • I'm a pastry chef, and working on starting my own business.  I'm going to start small and sell at farmers markets, possible getting an ice cream cart to sell ice cream sandwiches on the street.  

    I love working in the kitchen, alone with my thoughts (or music and podcasts)!  I used to work in an office, and I felt chained to the computer.  I was even in a creative field (architecture) but I feel more creative decorating cookies.

    Right now my least favorite part about my job is not having the discipline to move on the business.  I'm distracted by the baby, even though I quit my job and decided to start a business so that I can stay at home with the baby!

    I'd love to have the cutest, most popular bakery in my town.  I have some strong competition, though! 

  • What do you do for a living?I'm a grooming salon manager.What do you like best about your job?I LOVE being able to spend my day with dogs!  I also love being able to do fun haircuts.What do you like least about your job?I love the girls I work with, but being the boss in a room full of women is tough.  I really hate fleas.  They disgust me.  It amazes me how gross some people's pets are.If you could have any job right now what would it be?I really love my job.  I would like to own my OWN salon though, instead of working for a company.  In a bigger city too.  I love grooming the frou-frou dogs, and here every dog we see is just shaved down.

    Guest Services agent at a resort. Basically front desk, checking people in and out and making sure they're happy.

    What do you like best about your job?

    It's fairly low stress.. except in the middle of summer. In the winter we have mostly older people from Northern BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba staying long term and they're super easy to deal with and basically treat me like one of their grandkids lol. I'm so excited for them to come back this winter!

    What do you like least about your job?

    Dealing with high maintenance guests who think nothing of treating you like crap because you're a lowly check in girl. I'm so glad I'll still be on mat leave next summer lol!

    If you could have any job right now what would it be?

    I've always wanted to do event planning but I think it would be hard to get going in my town because there are so many already. Moving isn't an option at this point because I really want my kids to grow up here. DF is hoping to get into a nursing program so ideally what I hope happens once he's finished school is that he'll be able to make enough that I'll just have to work part time so we don't have to ship our kids off to a babysitter on a constant basis. I do want to work though. I'm not the total stay at home mom type lol.

  • What do you do for a living? I'm a medicinal chemist (trained in organic chemistry) working in drug discovery.

    What do you like best about your job?  Well, when I'm not PG, I love coming up with ideas, making new compounds in the lab, and seeing my ideas get tested (especially when my ideas work!)

    What do you like least about your job?  Right now I am absolutely miserable sitting at my desk working on patents all day.  I feel like this PG is crawling along because I'm so bored everyday.  When I am in the lab, research can be stressful.

    If you could have any job right now what would it be?  My job is not too bad, but if money wasn't a factor, I would probably work at an animal shelter or cat rescue.  I always said if I won the lottery, I would open a cat rescue and hire an employee to help manage it.

    My catty coworkers. I have one that seriously is gleeful about my pregnancy weight gain. She has been telling me for years how she used to be skinny until she had kids and I will be the same way. She has already been making comments about me getting bigger and how huge I'll be and how the weight will just stay on. I seriously don't even have a real bump yet she is just way too excited at the prospect.

    If you could have any job right now what would it be?

    I know it is cheesy but I'd love to write romance novels. I have a journalism degree and depending upon the novel some of those would be pretty simple to write. Then I could stay at home with the baby and just write when I have time/energy.

    What do you like best about your job? The actual "teaching" part and connecting with my students. That probably sounds funny to some, but I spend a lot of my time doing things other than actually teaching, and I don't enjoy those things so much.

    What do you like least about your job? Politics, standardized testing, smart-mouthed teenagers. Wink

  • I actually have two jobs right now, I work part-time at a daycare in the infant room, and last summer I started my own wedding planning business as a side thing. Once the baby comes, I'll quit the daycare and just keep doing weddings whenever I have one.

    I love working with kids, that's what I went to school for (Child and Youth Services), but I hope that having my own will fill my need in that area and I won't miss it too much. As for the weddings- I LOVE being in charge and being an organizational queen. ;)

    At the daycare, the germs. No matter how much we clean, someone's always sick and wiping boogers on your sleeve.

    I'm really excited to be a stay-at-home mom, and to grow my wedding business to be a work-at-home mom as well.
