Jobs??????

I don't think I've ever seen a quintuple post.:wtf:

Went and 'interviewed' today...got the job. I start in a few weeks.
 
I'm the operations leader and trainer for a small marketing company (we do charitable fundraising). The ops leader part of that is a mish-mash of different things--from low-level tech support to dealing with client organizations. I train new hires and existing staff, and have even been contracted out by our company to train the employees of a couple clients.

Most days I work 10am to 6pm, though that's pretty flexible...even more so since I no longer have any direct reports. I can basically make my own schedule. I do tend to work more than my salary requires me to, so I take a lieu day here and there.
 
I'm a Web developer for a marketing/hosting company. I'm currently redoing the company's websites (the company operates under three different names, depending on whether it's for marketing, web development or medical database management), plus I've been redeveloping a content management system that's primarily used by a do-it-yourself/home improvement client (we deploy the redesigned site tomorrow). I also support an internal data entry system that I developed, and do other occasional support-type work as required (I've been heavily involved in migrating databases off an old server, and I've worked on an email blaster.)

For the redevelopment of our corporate websites, I've managed to reuse the code I wrote for the content management system. It saved a great deal of work, though I suspect that most of the features (like blogging, image galleries, polls, RSS/email/Twitter subscriptions) won't be used as the content probably won't be that dynamic. (I do think it's pretty cool that I was able to do that, and it's not that obvious from looking at the sites that they're built on the same CMS :D).

We're supposed to be in from 8:30am to 5, though some mornings I don't quite make it (public transit isn't all that reliable some days, and on a good day it takes me nearly 90 minutes to get to work). I can't remember the last time I actually left at 5, though - I think I've been in the office until 7:15-7:30 every night for the last week, except for last Friday (conveniently, I have to leave right at 5 to catch my bus in order to make it to my bowling league by 7).
 
I am a Nurse. I currently work in Home Health. I have been a nurse for about 14 years and have done Home Care for about 10. I love this field of nursing. I start my day whenever I want, not stuck in a building all day, no boss looking over my shoulder, the paid is incredible, and I have the comfort of job security.

The only downfall of this job is the mileage, wear and tear on the car, and it sucks driving in bad weather.
