What do you do for a living?
Monday, November 10, 2003 by carolelee | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
It is interesting to know what people do for a living at this site. I am an apprentice industrial insulator by trade. Never a dull moment on the job and it is cool that more and more women are getting into the trades, keep the men on their toes!

we only have 55 rooms. out of those, 1 is a HUGE suite, 2 are little smaller suites, and 5 are double king bed rooms. the rest are double queen rooms or single king rooms.
Back breaking work is a understatement. Making those beds hurts. the bedspreads easyly weigh 20 pounds. I usually can clean a room in 30 minutes.

When I worked at the Kings motel this past summer, we had a lot of oil rig crews staying there, some rooms were a little cleaner than others. The standard time is 30 minutes to clean each room but some of the riggers'rooms almost took an hour to do. It's very hard work and they only paid you once a month, for 7.00 per hour!

Having spent 20 years in corporate sales management(traveling North America for a fortune 100 corporation) I realized there was more to life, and have developed a 16 year part time fishing charter business to full time. I've temporarily cut back on saltwater fishing tournments this fall to try and set a new world record for Grouper on a Fly Rod.

One of my best friends growing up did that for a while at the Cheyenne Social Club in the late 70's. I worked in the resturant busing tables, washing dishesand he cleaned rooms and would deliver room service when needed.
Anyway, I never paid much attention to who was playing the club and did not think anything of it when he
called down to the resturant and said he needed help with a huge order. When he got there he was all smiles and had glowing red eyes. We head up to the main suite and he knocks on the door with his foot, there is kinda loud music coming through the door. Swoosh it opens and this hairy guy with even brighter red eyes is standing their and yeling over his shoulder "Munchies!" turns back and says come on it
Damn room was smoked out, beer all over the place, bottles of Jim Beam and other things like Gin, bunch of wiped out guys, girls, some half dressed all laying about or playing cards and what have you. In we go and BOOM the door slambs behind us. Rick is putting food down on a table knocking beer cans over and I am standing there and something smoking at one end is stuck in my face right in front of my mouth "Hit" and then we just kind of didn't go back to work. Hell I don't remember how or when I got home either. We also didn't have jobs after that night. Seems the front desk, front/resturant manager and kitchen manager all called up looking for us and someone told them " I dunno where they are, they left hours ago? "
The band is one some might have heard of Iron Butterfly
I think that was one of the wildest nights, though only one of them, I had growing up.
Then it was back to construction for me, older brothers are a serious pain when they demand you are going to work...

I work in the IT Dept. of Goucher College. I run the help desk and do some teaching and also computer repair. I was ordained a minister in June 2003 and am looking for a church to preach the gospel in. when I get one my IT days are over. But not the use of IT. I enjoy my computer very much, it's an indespensable tool and gameing machine. Roger

I'm a registered nurse, just changed jobs and now work for the county. Used to work for a large clinic foundation, before that worked at the local hospital and extended care center. Nursing is a second career for me...I worked in the aerospace industry, first as a word processing operator, then as a tech writer, then as an executive secretary. But then the bottom fell out of aerospace in the early 90's, and I was laid off. Was out of work for a year until the local Sears store finally hired me to shill women's clothing. Decided I needed a line of work that's more secure and "portable," one that would have a future. That's how I got into nursing. Tough, tough work, though, that's for sure.
