What is Your Employment Situation?

You show work at a truck stop. We drivers are always having back pains, legs pains and just need a good rub down after a 70 hr work week..

At this time I'm still on family leave, my father had two strokes last year. So I'm helping my mother take care of him. But when I can I might go back trucking I always come back home with my back hurting after two weeks on the road.

Oh I got a lot of truck drivers in the UK as patients willing to be treated by me as a student. They were great clients. Friendly, chatty, not up their own arse, not shy about their bodies, appreciative and tipped me and even brought me bottles of wine and a couple gave me restaurant gift certificates. Real sweethearts actually. Flirtatious sometimes but always perfect gentleman with me.

I work at a uni library as a library assistant, which is below my qualification. And I'm only 2 subjects off being qualified as a librarian. Keeping an eye out for jobs not because I don't like my current job/workplace, but because I need to be on more money. Life will get more expensive when I stop having a student status. Sigh.

I just got promoted to Supervisor, Financial Services last week. Currently I manage a team of 8 people and we are already in the process of adding more members to the team. Basically what my team does is handle any fraud and billing issues that our users face, as well as enforcing the Terms of Service and handling reports about that as well. I love what I do, and I love the team that I work with, they really make my job so easy and make it fun to come to work every day.

I work at Sams club in the freezer / cooler. Dont know how long i will be able to keep the pace. my body is taking a beating. lots of heavy lifting and pulling. restacking water pallets near the freezer. pulling /pushing pallets way taller than me and completely loaded down even with a pallet jack its extremely heavy. especially when you have to straighten the cooler because the forklift driver just shoved stuff in there and now you cant get to the milk , eggs or tea to work it. so you have to pull out half the pallets in the cooler...

all i know is my body is falling apart. but hey...i atleast have a steady job i guess.

I help manage a vacation resort/bed and breakfast. I've met so many different folks from all over. I also live on the property, so I must do everything to help maintain the property in and out. It is very interesting work.

I work full-time with a 7 days on, 7 days off schedule. I love it. Yeah, working seven 10-14 hour days in a row can be brutal but those 7 days off are so sweet. It's like having a vacation every other week.
