I am an Onsite Recruiter for a temporary staffing agency. I recruit specifically for one client, and I keep offices at each one of their sites. So basically I give people jobs!!!!

I did this for 13 years but was only onsite at a customer's location for about 3 years. I sure don't miss the stress but it was a cool job.

I'm a Technical Writer, currently in the mining industry but was in IT for 15 years before that. I write Operating Manuals and Safe Work Instructions for the people running the machinery on the mine. I work an 8 day on/6 day off roster (12 hour days) away on a very remote mine site in the Kimberley region in the far north of Western Australia. I live in Perth, WA, so my commute to work is 3,000km each way :unsure:

I teach first grade at a private elementary school. I love the school. Before this year I always taught 4th grade, and next year am REALLY hoping to go back to 4th. I think the stress of first grade has made it difficult to lose weight.... bah.

I'm a librarian at a University. I deal with rare books, manuscripts, and archives. I'm also the University records manager - that part is freakin' boring.

I'm also a Mom. My beautiful 11 yr old daughter is quite the dancer, so being a Dance Mom takes up lots of my time as well.

Right now I am a PT sales assoc for Toys R Us. But most important I am a mother of 2 beautiful boys 8 and 4 and an Army Wife. I used to be an LPN in Illinois but haven't taken my state test for Alaska. I really want to go back to school to get my Vet tech.... I almost love animals more then people... LOL They seem to appreciate the way you care for them more. I worked for 5 years as a vet assistant.... *volunteer* my mother called it. She is a Vet... LOL Then after that worked in a nursing home. Where I decided to become and LPN. Never wanted to go RN. I guess it is like I wanna be a Vet tech not go all the way Vet. Dunno I love being a mommy most of all.....:)

I want to be a Vet Tech so badly.

I worked at a vet for a while and loved it, but you can't live on $8 and hour. Where I live, that's about average, even with schooling.

Yea, that's about average pay here too. My sister used to do it. With all the money vets make, they could afford to pay more.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
