I work as head of operations/photographer for a rock climbing hold company. It's hectic and crazy there, and I work with some very interesting individuals, but it is definitely the right place for me to be working right now. Been there 2 years and hope to stay for the long haul, or until I find a full time kick *** photography job.

I currently go to school full time studying Marketing and Management as well as Fashion Merchandising. I have worked for Target for 5 years and worked my way up with that company. I love it. Wouldn't change much of it.

In the past I worked for Abercrombie and Fitch, Nordstrom, and L'Occitane.

I deal poker at a casino and have for the past 17 years. I love my job, and am lucky that I don't have to converse with people and just "run my game". On my bad days, I just focus on the game and keeping it running smoothly without making small talk. On good days, I can converse in small talk without issue. I'm on fmla right now because I'm in partial therapy. I also write and play music with my other bipolar friends which is great therapy.

I am unemployment at the moment have been for 5 years. I volunteer as a Befriender, Youth Worker and I volunteer in a local community centre.

My last paid job was working as a Senior Support Worker/Key Worker in a housing scheme. Looking after 8 men who all have Autism, Challenging Behaviour and Learning Disabilities. Each of them were individuals on the spectrum. We had sever Autism to High Functioning Autism. The guys were brilliant most of the time tbh. When they were bad they were bad though. The amount of bruises etc I had was unreal.... also not a good job if you wear glasses lol! Some of them hate glasses as it's not part of your face :-/

I'm a software engineer and I like my job because I can work wherever I want whenever I want, as long as I get the job done. It's low stress for me
oooo that's really cool! What languages do you primarily use in your job?

I work at a cemetery. It's generally peaceful, though opening a plot for an upcoming service and finding it already occupied is very stressful.

I taught high school social studies and was a special Ed coteacher. I have been unemployed, though, for two years. Too much anxiety with the day to day interactions with staff, administration and parents. Writing Individual Education Plans (IEPs), planning IEP meetings, and working with regular Ed teachers in THEIR classrooms was a huge source of my daily stress and a trigger for many of my depressive episodes. The ONLY thing I enjoyed was teaching and working with my students.

don't currently work, just trying to finish my degree. my last job was at my previous school (I transferred to Pitt a few years ago), I was a lab tech in the chemistry department. I prepared the labs for the students, made solutions, disposed of chemical waste in a proper fashion. I loved it, and I was taking classes at the time and doing well. it was the best 14 months of my life.

I spent 22 years active duty in the USAF. After that I got a job working communications at a military research and development facility. Had a nervous breakdown and started receiving disability 4 years ago. I miss my job but not the stress that went with it. It was like being between a rock and a hard place, with the customers on one side and the government on the other.

For now, Python... but I did a lot of C++ and Java at my old job. I also used to co-teach a course in C# when I was in grad school.

I'm mostly prototyping things in Python since it's one of the easier languages to prototype with.

Once prototyping is done, everything will be done in Java... but the prototyping will take about a year, honestly. (We need to have a proof of concept and have it approved before we can go ahead and program it all in Java.)

I'm a full time student, and I work at my university's newspaper. This semester I will have my own staff as I am heading up a new desk... I am so very nervous!
I just finished up my summer job, which was at a mortgage company. I'll be honest, I don't know what a mortgage is! Lol! I was just an intern who did paper work and filing

That really happened just last week. The cemetery is quite old and we have burials which either didn't get recorded, or the records have been lost. We've actually had it happen three times that I'm aware of. Pretty disconcerting to find a skeleton where you don't expect to.

That is absolutely creepy.

One of my grandfathers was on the village council where I grew up. My grandma's diary talks about how they found out somehow that someone wa buried in space infringing on my other grandfather's grave. I don't think anyone told my 2nd grandfather. It wasn't too much to keep him from being buried but still was startling to read.

I can see that easily happening at an old cemetery though. Where I used to live had one of the oldest cemeteries in this state and the grave markers were pretty randomly placed.
