I was a radiographer but gave up work last year to be a stay at home mum to my two girls aged 4 & 2 (currently)

It was a hard decision both financially and personally as I had worked hard to get to where I was.

I love staying at home now and would not change it for the world. Xx

I work in Multimedia sales for a TV station and newspaper. It's a fun gig, though I would love to go grad school
My :heart: belongs to wacky G1 merchandise!

I work full time for an oil company.  I worked here as a temp in college and when I graduated they took me on full time.  I've pretty much worked for the same people for 12 years now.  I'm a secretary in the land/legal department.  I also handle my department's IT because people can't figure out how to change toner and freak out when the printer says things like "PC Load Letter."

I work retial full-time - Home Depot, to be specific. Used to be in the flooring and decor department, but I've been at customer service for the last 2-3 years. I'm happy with the job, but I'm not really using my degree for anything other than "hobby work" (I've an AAS degree in jewelry manufacture and repair). I certainly hadn't planned on being at this job for almost 10 years! :huh:

So, I'm brushing up on math, and hoping to go back to school this fall. My goal is being a secondary school math teacher, so we'll see how this works. Mostly, I'm studying on my lunmch break, since I have a hour and eating usually only takes about 15 minutes - which I can do while studying. ^.^
My creativity keeps running into a lack of time and resources.  :cry:
I'm also available via twitter at @Kazzellin :)

So many projects!! What do I want to work on? :awake:

I don't know how to classify myself.  I would say that I work full time as a stay-at-home mom and housekeeper, but our house is usually tolerable at best and I drive my three kids nuts, lol.  I have an Etsy shop as well but am terrible at being my own boss.  My time management skills need some serious work.  Maybe I should spend a little less time on the computer, eh?  >_<

Does working part time and pretending I make a real living by selling ponies count? The part time job gives me the free time to make and sell my art, as well as sit around all day and watch episodes of Elementary and Merlin.

I'm a SAHM, but at night and on the weekends I'm a freelance photographer and writer for a couple of local newspapers. It's kind of like Superman and Spiderman. Kind of. I keep telling myself that.
