I work for a large teaching hospital (Johnny Carson referred to it as the Mayo Clinic of the SouthWest) as a program coordinator/education coordinator for a residency program. In other words, the concept is I babysit a bunch of spoiled brats. But mine are great. they are far form that stereotype, probably the most opposite of any program onsite. I also do data management for a web-based residency mgmt. program for the largest residency program onsite and that keeps me busy in my "spare" time. Have been there for 9 years. This is a sad week for me. The onld ones are leaving the nest and going out into the real world to become real doctors. And the new babies are coming in at the same time.
After 21 years at Crayola as an email administrator I quit, before I got left go to work as an email consultant at the New York Stock Exchange.
Appliance Technician here. You know the drill.
I'm surprised to see only 2 other people in the appliance field considering the nature of this web sight.

What I do.
If ya didn't already know... I work at the Hoover Sales and Service center here in Milwaukee (actually a suburb--West Allis). It will be 4 years in August! Time flies. Normally I work about 25 hours per week (during the school year)... same for the summer. My job entails shipping and receiving parts orders, filling dealer orders, selling cleaners, doing minor repairs (belts, etc), answering the phone, dealing with crabby customers--you know, running the store...
But, due to a recent resignation from a service technician who had been at our store for 10+ years, I will now be doing repairs on top of my normal duties. That will require learning how to do a lot of things that I've never had to do before, but will add a new dimension to the job. I'll also be working 40 hours a week through the remainder of the summer. So, I'm looking forward to it.
I'm in the same boat as Seamus as far as re-circulating my money back into the company. I love the discount on parts and products, and probably spend way more than I should on such things. I also have a bad habit of nabbing things from the dumpster... things I don't need. I have TOO MUCH stuff!
I'm also a student at Cardinal Stritch University, about 5 minutes from home. My major is Integrated Marketing Communications... Basically I've had courses in Public Relations, Marketing, Advertising, Accounting, and Desktop Publishing... so I have a broad range of skills that will *hopefully* look good to a potential employer and allow me to not do just one thing. If that makes sense. I've been in school for 4 years, and will graduate after this upcoming semester in December. It's up in the air what I'll do when I graduate. I should probably start scanning my options.

Scott, are you still working with the Scottdammit guy that used to post at the old club? LOL
I have been a word processor for about 20 years. I've mainly worked in law firms, though I worked in the legal department of a bank, an insurance company HR department, and an HR consulting company.
Here in California, I'm still a word processor in a law firm, but since it's a smaller firm than I've worked in in the past, I get a taste of a lot of different things helping others out, and it's been a lot of fun and interesting since it's the first time I've worked so heavily with trial/litigation stuff.
I'm actually thinking about going to school PT and getting an AA degree and paralegal certificate. I'll probably always work in a law firm because I'm spoiled by the money and perks, and I'd like to have a more in-depth knowledge of it now that I've had a taste of it beyond typing.
