Evil Teacher, at your service.
How does one teach evil?
I always wondered where my students learned evil.

You don't work. You just smoke cigars all day
LD used to work on Wall Street and when the kids went to work with him he used to let them play games on the computers. When people would ask them what their dad does, they'd say, "He plays computer games all day."
He really does smoke cigars all day.....
And, amazingly, It DOES pay the bills.

I'm a phlebotomist. But I'm completely burned out on healthcare, so I am going to go to school to be a paralegal.
And hopefully I won't burn out on the legal system.
My dream job is to be a multimillion dollar powerball winner.
I'll let you guys know if that dream job ever falls in my lap.

Wow Lots of really neat jobs.
When I joined I was an Office Manager and nurse for a pair of Colorectal surgeons. I am an RN, and have been blessed with the ability to do many different things over my career, and that has led to what I do now.
I am a Care Manager for a large health system, managing patients with multiple health issues, making sure they have the resources they need, and helping them to improve their overall health. I love it. After being an ICU RN, an Endoscopy RN, and OM the low stress level and great hours are WONDERFUL!!!!

Hydrogeologist here. Worked in maintaining clean aquifers and remediating contaminated groundwater.
Then came kids. I worked for several years as a paraprofessional working with kids with disabilities. Oh, and I taught welding one year. Yeah.
When I was young I worked at the European Headquarters of the USO. Fun, fun, fun!
Now I'm looking for full time work, but have to admit I'm being a bit lazy about it. Dancing has taken over my life...

Freelance marketing copywriter, small business marketing consultant, and freelance columnist. I'm also on something of a lecture circuit for blogging and social media, teaching workshops and such.
I've had a humor column for almost four years in a regional magazine. I'm currently working on a humor book and a nonfiction, humorous interview-based book, both of which were set aside for almost the entire last year while I got myself refocused. I'm not quite sure yet if I'm going to continue either of them. I may need to scrap and start over.

PPG, you may be my new best friend. I love, love, love Shiitake mushrooms.
No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

@lieshurt: yes! I love them too, and they are sooooo good for you!
We are now starting to cultivate lion's mane (wild) mushroom. No fruiting yet, but we are anxiously awaiting the Fall and hope like crazy that these will fruit...
Poof!

I am an IT Director, specialising in Enterprise Systems.
I work with a varied group of introverts, narcissists, and nearly every other ailment from the DSM.
I can't decide if crazy people flock to IT or IT drives them crazy. To quote one of my favorite developers, "Computers would be great if it weren't for all the damn people who use them."
