I work at a museum, currently as the Coordinator of Volunteers, though I also do all the geeky stuff (web page, brochures, ads). It's a fun place to work. Come visit if you're ever in Waco. http://www.maybornmuseum.com

Used to have my own web design business, but needed a steady paycheck.

I'm a nurse, currently working for an insurance company. It's MESSA, the teachers insurance in Michigan - a great company to work for. I did clinical work for 30 years in ER, Labour and delivery, psychiatric and home care. Nursing has been very good to me in terms of doing lots of different kinds of work over the years with lots of flexibility when the kids were small.

I'm a Systems/Network Administrator for a small engineering firm. I'm a geek who works with geeks! Actually, the engineers are way geekier than me (I hope, anyway)! Its a great place to work, lots of fun, and the owners are real gems. I'm very lucky!

I am a recovering Corporate Travel Administrator, and have been a stay at home mom for 2 1/2 years (since my son was 5 months old). I hope to go to bible college and go to work in ministry when I return to the "working" world.

For the record, staying at home with a child is way harder than any "work" I've ever done. :confused:

After 20 years in the printing field, I quit my job to be a full-time mom and a inhome daycare provider. ( I think the $11,000 in daycare charges the year before had a lot to do with it.) My kids love having me at home - so does the hubby.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
