[~Sarah~]

My varied employment - I have worked in a bank :blink: (very boring), worked as a veterinary nurse :thumbsup: :thumbsup: (great job), been a secretary -_- (tedious), and then trained in later life to be an occupational therapist :sweating: (couldn't stand the stress of working in the NHS).

Now I have a lovely job - retired (as my OH retired a year ago, so did I!!!) :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Wished I had continued with Vet Nursing or been clever enough to be a Vet though.

There's an old thread from last year where lots of people posted things about what they did. It started off as a general chit-chat about what we were all doing on-line so early in the morning... and ended up showing what an amazingly mixed bunch of K9-ers there were!

It's here if anyone's interested: "Morning site" thread

It's quite nice to see how many people who were around then, are still avid K9-addicts :- "

 

[Strike Whippets]

I work in my friend's kennel's and cattery .....You've met her Helen, she has the Bouvier's

[doris]

what do I do?

I have 2 italian greyhounds and 2 whippets to look after

I work in Tesco 4 days a week, but lucky enough to work in the office upstairs away from the stress of the shop floor - although staff often treat me worse than customers do! (well, until I tell them the correct way to talk to a work colleague, that is! :- " ) I do a mixture of days and late nights

I also do 4-6 hours over the weekend in our local dog rescue (Chiltern dog rescue society), feeding and cleaning kennels (good for my soul)

oh yeah, I also have 2 grumpy kids (teenager and almost-teenager) and a saint-like old man o

and I still manage to go on here and watch big brother every day!!!!!!!!!

my life is too full :wacko:

 

[Joanna]

I also USED to be a nurse. I specialised in orthopaedics....It got very stressy and nasty and I left the profession. I did a book-keeping course and do the accounts for OH's business now. I have also just taken on the treasurer's role at South Cotswolds WRC. I am a mum, and I seem to have a lot of ironing (w00t) . I have to spend loads of time with the whippets as they are very sensitive :- " and am required to visit K9 regularly :b

 

[Scott Frodsham]

I hope to stack shelves at Tescos! :thumbsup:
