What's Your Employment/Job?

This is so long, I couldn't go through it all today, and chances are that I have answered before. But I've slept since then, so I don't remember.

I am a certified high school English and math teacher, not currently (5/1/09 for future reference) teaching, but probably will in the fall because I can't afford insurance. I am the executive director of a non-profit, Alcovy CASA. We recruit and train community volunteers to represent the best interests of children who are the victims of abuse/neglect in court. It's a great job, but non-profits don't pay that well unless you're with a really big one.

I'm also a methodist minister, serving a small congregation in the rural area near here. Went to Candler School of Theology, but the ministry was too tough on the family back in the 80s, so I left the parish for manufacturing.

Prefer to be a full-time grandfather to Madeline and Will (2 and 1), but that doesn't pay either. On the side I dabble in buying and trading Scottish stuff.

I'm a full time caregiver of three carbon based life forms (sorry Weasel Mender--I couldn't help myself)--four if you count my husband.

It is the most emotionally and mentally challenging thing I have ever done in my life. Also the most rewarding. I wouldn't trade it for any career in the world despite the fact that it seems like I am regularly cleaning up someone's poop.

I am a letter carrier for the USPS near Palm Springs Ca, with a total of 26 years at the job. I am currently off, since March, on stress leave and not much hope of going back any time soon. I am also shop steward and secretary of the local branch.
Last year at the national convention in Boston there was a resolution for the union to to approve a (MUG)=Male Unbifurcated Garment. I thought it was a wonderful idea but few others did, it was not taken seriously and hooted down. I thought a postal blue kilt would be fun.

I have been in various aspects of the steel industry for about 35 years. I currently manage a scrap steel company in San Diego, CA. Wonderful job.

Well, how to answer this. I am employed by a rather large bank as an MIS manager. Of course, I no longer do MIS or programming but I now deal with the finance of running our mainframe environment.
