QUOTE:  Thanks! Sure go ahead! The 'translation"' part is my favourite part of job - it's kind of how I fell into the BA role. Sounds like a neat company. I see you are in ON - Canadian company then?
Yes! It's just my partner and I, but we are in a very specialized market and we are becoming reasonably well known - enough to pay our bills and keep us fed and clothed, at least.

I work for a large hospital in the radiology department as a transcriptionist, been there 10 years. I'm also a liason for the RIS department. We're developing a new RIS package and I could just strangle some of the "techs" from the Phillips co.
I'm always grateful for my health and my family's health, after seeing so much disease and suffering of others. Go Steelers!!!

Well, I am a barista (work at a cafe) and I also work at an information desk for my university.
In addition, I'm also a full-time student doing their honours in linguistics and a potential major in anthropology, with a potential minor in French. Nothing's set in stone. Haha.

I started in middle age--after the kids were all in school. We want to travel--getting another RV for long trips and see parts of the USA that we have never really visited, just drove through. Our plan is to start next August and be in New England for the fall colors.

I am a Police/911 Dispatcher/Operator. Worked for 9 years with a police department in Central OH, dispatching only for police and answering all incoming 911 calls. In April of this year I began working for a 911 Center in Southeast WV. Learning to also dispatch Fire/EMS has been a very interesting and challenging change. I love my job!!! It is a thankless job, but personally I find it very rewarding.

QUOTE: Thanks man. Three years ago I was standing on Kandahar Airfield and came to a revelation that the only skill I had that was worth a damn....is flying and turning wrenches on chinooks. This is the career path I wanted...just didn't want to be an active duty puke. Federal Services is the way to go. Finally, after alot of patience, hard work and kissing people's asses.... I got hired. I'm stoked. i know how you feel. I have been in the Air Force Reserves for almost 6 years and a full time job opportunity came about in May 2008. I JUST got hired at the end of September!! I also got hired on as a WG-10, but I'm with the AF Reserves, the postition is called an Air Reserve Technician, but it sounds like a similar program that you work for.  |
