So, what do YOU do?

Starting August 2007, I'll be a high school counselor!

My brother is a vet and on the admissions board for a very big SEC school. CVs are very big as are actual interviews! Keep it relaxed, yet personable in your speech. And good luck. :D

I'm currently an Office Manager for a home health company...but I'm working on my BSW (Social Work) and plan to get my master's and become licensed. My ultimate goal is to one day open my own agency.

My mom taught school, my dad did something with money that apparently I still can't understand despite being allowed on the internet on my own. My uncle ran a small weekly paper that I refused to work for because I was stupid(?).

Apparently I worked for some other paper, a daily perhaps and I did all the shit work by having to go to meetings and listen to boring people talk and also writing fluff pieces.
Then I started writing the crime stories because their previous guy stopped doing his job.
This paper was most likely something like The Onion because I can't imagine someone reading stories written by someone who types like this.

Writing about crime has converted me to satanism...

Being around a fire makes my clothes smell smokey.

Being around blood meant I could have blood on my shoe... or ketchup from my Quarter Pounder. You never know!

Everyone I work with is crazy (explains a lot huh?) and they leave in the middle of important news, but it's ok because they laugh at it.

I've never understood the fascination behind watching pursuits and wanting to see crashes, yet at the same time, even I have to reel myself in, so I'm contradicting myself.

Wow, Drolefille, you're really good at that! :p

Anyway, I'm pursuing my BSW (Bachelor of Social Work) and will be done this time next year. After that, I continue not having a life until I get my MSW, and then I will hopefully have a job. :eek:

EagleChick19 05-28-2007 12:29 PM

During the week, I work as a TSS to children with behavioral issues, such as Autism, ADD, and ADHD.

On the weekends, I work at a small winery, giving wine tastings and selling wines.

And I'm thinking about going back to school.

Beachbrat 05-28-2007 02:17 PM

no, not one.
 
satanist? no.
i have covered them, as well as a serial killer, a serial rapist, rogue cops, happy cops, and a chimp. and comforted those who have lost loved ones suddenly.
and I've won 2 state writing awards, got 1 law passed, and mentored several young women new to the field, as in journalism.
An on-the-job injury ended that, now, I get to start over.
Ha Ha ha?:(

Thank you, and good luck with the BSW! At least you can work with one of those. That BA in Psych left me with few options in my field :-/

Satanist, Serial Killer, Serial Rapist, Rogue Cops, Happy Cops, Chimp.

One of these things is not like the others; one of these things just doesn't belong. Can you tell which thing is not like the others before I finish my song?

On the plus side, when a Rogue Cop Chimp Kills multiple Satanists who have raped otherwise Happy Cops, this girl can make you feel better.

Was it about Satanist chimp cops going rogue?

now, you can pick on each other.

You may have been registered since September 2001, but I was online the other night when you made your first post as you did not have any posts prior to May 26th.

Nobody really cares if you "came back" because nobody knew you were around in the first place.
