GTKY: What do you do for a living?

olivemomma · December 2018

Hows everyone spending that work week??

olivemomma · December 2018

I’m a SAHM and have been ever since by DD was born. But before that I worked in kitchen and bathroom design. One day I would love to get into real estate. I could Zillow all day long!

hey_clever_girl · December 2018

I am a work-at-home freelance writer/digital marketer. I quit my full-time job (had been there for five years) back in July of this year to pursue my business. I absolutely adore the flexibility and control that owning my own freelance business affords me; I was becoming stifled by my company's lack of flex. Freelance life can be a little financially unsure, but the freedom it gives our family is worth it.

ElcaB · December 2018

I'm a Senior Communications Specialist at a mid-size public transportation system. I have about a million responsibilities that range from media relations to social media management to crisis management and everything in between! Even though sometimes my workplace gets to me (there's a lot of drama), I really enjoy the variety of my job. One day I'm sitting at my desk cutting out fish for a Finding Nemo themed trick-or-treat bus, the next day I'm issuing statements to the press on a scandal.

Also, FYI, @runningisrad is a kick ass writer!

deecherise · December 2018

I'm currently a PhD student in Microbiology. So, while my taxes say I'm employed by my university, my stipend and my schedule are clearly those of a student. It's finals week right now, and I'm dying lol.

parrothead78 · December 2018

I work part time as a loan officer for a local credit union. I’ve been there almost 5 years and they have amazing benefits. I’m going to school for Human Resources (they pay for it) so eventually I will transition to their Learning & Development team and train new hires, but I like being home 3 days a week with the little one so I’m in no rush to get a full time position.

littlestbear03 · December 2018

I run my dog grooming salon out of a boarding/daycare facility. It works out great being self employed so I make my own hours and work about part time. I’m able to take my kids to school and I’m off in the afternoon to pick them up.

BigBadWolf12 · December 2018

Middle school math teacher. But I've been on leave with my son since Sept 2017, so I'll just be back for 6 months before heading off again with the incoming LO

drmrsthecounselor · December 2018

I'm a mental health counselor that works for the school district. I travel around different schools and provide mental health counseling to elementary through high school aged kiddos. It's a new position this year and I feel like I'm still adjusting. I'm not sure if I will stay with my job next school year (since I'm due the week before school starts!) or if I will be a SAHM. Working out the finances!

WinchesterGirl · December 2018

SAHM/ remote app technical analyst/ PT Realtor. And whatever else strikes my fancy! I like to stay busy. Pretty sure that won't be an issue once the new baby arrives!

mkrel · December 2018

suzycupcake · December 2018

I'm a Producer, TV/Film. Currently, I am working on my own Documentary. We are halfway through and still seems like we have a long ways to go.

cassandraleigh01 · December 2018

Everyone's jobs are so interesting! I teach first grade. I love the schedule but I'm not too thrilled that I'll be out for the beginning of the year next year.

hillaryo14 · December 2018

I'm a first grade teacher too. @cassandraleigh01 I'm feeling the same about being on leave at the beginning of the year!

sourlemon · December 2018

I'm a computer scientist. Most of my job is in test and evaluation of information systems.

So many STEM ladies! I’m a quality engineer for a medical device component manufacturer. Small world @MollyH1987

database6 · December 2018

Healthcare reporting analyst for a large health care organization and Privacy Officer. I love my job and last pregnancy I was able to supplement my PDOs with working from home, so hoping to be able to do that again.

ash0625 · December 2018

So many cool jobs! I’m an attorney at a medium-ish size law firm. I love my job, but there are days I wish for more flexibility and to completely eliminate the billable hour!

kristinamarie10 · December 2018

I'm currently a sahm. I started back at college least year to pursue a degree in physics. This pregnancy was timed to go with my school schedule haha

emeraldduchess · December 2018

I teach fifth grade at a very small private school. I'm nervous about being on leave at the start of the school year as well, but I will make it work.

Beauxbaton · December 2018

SAHM, with the occasional odd job helping out my husband's business. Sometimes it's making shirts, sometimes its tagging bibs, sometimes it's spending an entire 12 hours making spaghetti. But mostly just a SAHM

hey_clever_girl · December 2018

Shucks, thank you @ElcaB!

BaylieGirl · December 2018

vvitchhazel · December 2018

I'm a stay at home/work from home mom doing social media and marketing for a small lifestyle/decor business with dreams of starting my own lifestyle/decor business down the road.

b00bunny · December 2018

I'm a Construction Manager. Major developers, public agencies, private companies, or the occasional homeowner will hire us to run their projects. For example, when Universal Studios needed to expand their road they hired us. We managed the contractor and coordinated with the engineers, public agencies, etc. We made sure the job was done as close to schedule and budget as possible. We'll also negotiate change orders as we will constantly be monitoring the work being done on site.
I spend my days in boots, vest, and hard hat, walking job sites. I am commonly the only woman on site.

spikesmom20 · December 2018

I’m the Program Director for a mid-size non-profit that serves victims of domestic and sexual violence, stalking and human trafficking. I over see all of our direct services and manage 17 state and federal grants. I’m nervous to be due in August as summer is grant renewal/writing season leading into the end of the fiscal year which is my busiest time. My DH is an elementary school principal and is also nervous about the timing with the start of the school year but he will only be off for 2-3 weeks so it should be fine for him.

EmilyA724 · December 2018

I’m a fundraiser for a non-profit.

@spikesmom20 I hear you on the busy time of end of year. I’m a little nervous. My job gives me 12 weeks, but I have a feeling I’ll be doing some work from home.

kels0091 · December 2018

For one more week until the spring, I work at a warehouse that packages and ships smoked/canned fish all around the world.
I get laid off on Friday and then will go back in June

lvanderpate · December 2018

I'm an RN in a large level 3 NICU. I see the worst case scenario with pregnancies and birth every day at work, so I'm trying not to get myself too freaked out, and just focus on the positive for now! This is my first pregnancy.

newmamakt · December 2018

I’m in Production Control at an automotive supplier. We supply Mercedes and the area I work in is the door panel line.

cmessamore · December 2018

I am mostly a SAHM, but I still work VERY part time (24 hours a month) as an EMT and I teach EMS related topics to FD, PD, and Ambulance Companies.

daleybabe · December 2018

I'm a RN as well. I've been in pediatric ICU for the last five years. LOVE my job and coworkers but have also seen way too much.

mrsbuttercupbev · December 2018

I’m in HR for a animated movie studio. I work what seems like a bazillion hours a week. I love the people I work with but sometimes it feels like I’m the mom to 500 extra children.
