When I noticed the mistake the first time, my mind translated it into 'mother.' So yes, I'm getting my mother's degree in NR... they pass those things down these days, you know. Now if I could just get my employer's PhD, I'd be good to go.

8O Small world! I think that's fairly close to where I work.

I'm merchandising supervisor for a chain bookstore, one of those jobs you take as a temporary thing, then wake up one day and realize you've been doing it for six years. I could go off into a rant about the evils of working in retail, but I'll admit I've had worse jobs both in and out of retail, so I can't really complain.

One of these days I would like to have a job where the schedule doesn't involve a shift where you have to get up at 4 AM, and a shift where you get home from work at 2 AM, or at the very least doesn't include some of each in the same week.

Or maybe I'll run off and become a pirate...

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?

Make that three! I am an RN for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a legal nurse consultant, and am currently in school working on my degree in criminal justice, and heading for law school, hopefully. I figure that as liberal as I am I'll probably end up being a human rights attorney and making even less than I do now, lol.

My route takes me pretty close to there, though my workplace is a bit further down (Mission Bay).

Pretty cool! I thought I was the only member in SF.

Heh, I'm not a guy. 8)

I'm trying to think of who that is, though; not a lot of fantasy readers there. :?

I am a bookkeeper for a newspaper in Daytona Beach, FL. I do real exciting things, like balance the general ledger, compile reports comparing sales and lineage figures with previous months and years, and move money around when it goes to the wrong place. Yup, you get the picture.....thrillsville.

My job is best when I am not there. :)
I am rather good at it though. I have an affinity for numbers. And the pay is decent.
