Unsure, my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimers about three years
ago...I know what you are saying. I wish there were more capable people
in the field. It's wide open and you should be able to pretty much
write your own ticket!!

Cookie, checked out the website, it's awsome! I can't imagine having
the patience to do something like that with such great attention to
detail. I'm very impressed! I work with a couple of ladies that are
into that sort of thing, I will be sure and pass the link to your addy
along to them.

Loves2, I will check yours out in a bit. It must be the ultimate to be
your own boss. Personally, I could never do it - I don't have the
dicipline. I would probably just sit and watch Court shows all day.
Love them court shows!! Judge Joe, Judge Mabeline, Peoples Court etc,
etc, etc...

Thanks for sharing everyone, I enjoy reading this sort of stuff

I work as a in-home-care taker at home, taking care of my grandmother,
she is a pain you know where, everbody tells me I have the best job, at
home, no boss, no traffic, no death lines,,,,,well I miss my desk my
death lines ,and see people faces go to lunch out......

I can't even call in sick, because my work is here with me at my
house..........is geting to the point that my mother and me can't go
out, but what can I do, no one wants her,

What I like about my job is that I am able to get online when she is not
calling me every 5 minutes and chat a little and I do get to rest when
she does fall sleep....still oh well ...

I have been in the self storage industry now 14 yrs. I love my job
because everyday is different. I work on my own - 4yrs with this company
now. Most of the time when people need storage they are in some kind of
crisis,( fire, divorce, death, etc.)
Theres no greater feeling than to know you've lightened someones load by
helping them cross at least one thing off their list. People leave
behind some really good stuff too so I am able to donate to churches and
the local battered womens shelters.
Also the office is a collection point for non perishables for local food
banks and soup kitchens.I love dealing with the public. Having been a
resident manager it also allows me to be home to get my kids off to
school and be here when they get home or if they are sick or during
summer break. It has been a real blessing in many ways.

I've had a few jops in my lifetime but the current one by far is the
most rewarding, I am a nanny for my 2 nieces and 1 nephew.I didn't have
the time with my own son to spend with him when he was this young, 2-10,
as I was and still am, a single mom. I had to work when my son was
between 2-10, so I missed out on alo of things. I am really enjoying
this time with my nieces and nephew and being around my family.

im a substance abuse counselor, and have worked on the field for 7
years, I love my job because i know that i can make a difference in
someone's life, and is so beautifull to see a person who has no will and
is powerless, turn his or her life around, is rewading.

I fell at work 4 years ago and broke my back. I hated that job. I only
took it because the job I had and loved had no benifits other than one
week vacation which you had to use for sick days so I never had a
vacation. I am disabled now.

I do a few different things for income. One is a raise tropical fish. I
understand perfectly what someone else meant by saying their product is
all over the globe. I have send fish eggs to 7 different countries. This
is a hobby I love turned into making money.

I also collect seeds for the local nuseries. This work pushes me over
the limits of my body and stupid me tries to do what I used to do before
breaking my back and having 2 3 inch rods put in it. It is hard work but
you sort of set your own hours and pace. But as with all farming jobs
you have to make hay while the sun is shining. Fall is acorn(all oaks),
walnut, red bud, dogwod, etc..... season for seeds. Some seeds like red
bud and sugar maple have to be collected and stored dry or they sprout
and die. And it will not stay dry over 3 days lately.

The other job I truely hate but it has been keeping me and the 4 kids
alive with a roof over our heads. It is rolling/tieing vinca minor
vines. I work 10 to 12 hours for $40 and it cost me about $10 of that to
get them home to work up. I normally go pull them all day one day and
work them up over the next few days so it is only one trip for 2-4 days
worth of work. This job is dirty, nasty and messy(as it is cold I am
doing them in the house). The sad thing is during seed season when there
is much more money to make we have to collect vinca vines or we will not
get vinca vine orders during the rest of the year. So in the morning we
are going to pull just enough vines to get Mondays order and collect
seeds on the way home from the vine patch.
