  • I'm a histotechnologist and supervise a research histology lab. ETA: but currently I'm bumping on my phone while taking the single most boring work required on line test.
    What is a histotechnologist?  Sounds fancy.

    I pretty much process tissue from animals, put it in blocks of wax, cut them super thin on a special machine, and put the thin sections on slides that are then stained with different dyes to showcase the tissue morphology for a pathologist to look at.  I work in a research lab now, but I worked in a clinical (human) lab before.  If you've ever had a biopsy your tissue got sent off to a histology lab for pathology.

    Yikes, I don't even know if I understand that explanation myself.

    Yup, fancy.  Cool!

    It was a running joke on my wedding club board that I was really Kate Middleton.  It's still hilarious to me because I really don't like her...

    You should really stop having a negative attitude towards yourself. It's not good for you. :-P.



    And I play with puppies and kittens all day. Well that is at least what my 6 yr old self thought I did for a living.
    Love is like infinity: You can't have more or less infinity, and you can't compare two things to see if they're "equally infinite." Infinity just is, and that's the way I think love is, too.

    I don't even know what a Bon Bon is :-) I did eat a Lindor truffle earlier.

    You will be happy to know I'm NOT a teacher, I'm actually a former CPA turned SAHM.

    ::gasp::

    What is a bon-bon?  WHAT IS A BON-BON??

    It's a small, chocolate covered ball of vanilla ice cream.  It's the shape of a gum drop (but about twice as big) and the taste of a Klondike bar.


    Oh I don't like ice cream. I guess that's why I didn't know what they were. I'll stick with my truffles.

    Fucking bump!!!!
  • I'm a SAHM. I clean poop and play dolls all day. Before DD I was an account manager for an insurance firm.

  • I actually have 2 full-time jobs: I manage an entire IT Staffing company.  Granted there are only 6 people in the office (besides myself) it's a big undertaking.  The company itself is owned/run by a woman so it makes it a 'little' more challenging then previous management jobs I've had.  I've only been with this company for a little over a month and I love the group.  AND I'm a mom! I have a 12 year old son (who will be 13 on April 1st).  He's a big priority (and always has been) so I spend A LOT of time with him. :)

    Also, at least in my state, "solicitor" is the term used for a municipal attorney. So for the City of Philadelphia their legal counsel is called a solicitor. But it's basically a job title much the same as some attorneys are general counsel to a corporation.

  • I'm a substitute teacher. I'm certified to teach k-5 for general education and k-8 in special education but I like subbing since my husband works 7 and 7 (on one week, off the next) and when he's home I can choose not to work and just play. I also want to be a SAHM once we do conceive until the kiddo(s) start school.
