who's working?

[hibiscusmile]

Wondering what the members do and what shift they do it in?

I work in fermentation for a biotech company. We use yeasts to make renewable chemicals from agricultural waste products. Lately I have been on graveyard shift, but I only have to work three days a week and am on salary, so it's not all bad, although I should be back in the land of the living after christmas

I am a software engineering manager (whitebox QA, load/perf testing, etc. if you're in the industry). Our work schedules are pretty flexible, I work from home 3-4 days out of the week and as long my reports get their work done and are generally available during core business hours (between 10am-4pm pacific), I don't care when they work. Some like to come in and leave early, others are night owls and prefer to avoid the mornings and work late.

I own my own small Business, floor covering, with a few helper's and a partner, but most day's I feel like I carried you up a flight of stairs for 4 hours straight, then used my brain for the other 4-6 hours so it's a long day by the time I get home, " I just need my bug hug's" lol, plus my 10 year old daughter's smile. And I'm good to go!

Well I have worked the graveyard shift for quite a while as a po, so I know just what you mean, only I had a 5 year old to care for all alone at that time, then later a 6 wk old and try to find some sleep when you have kids! But I did like that shift, people at night are diff than day people.

And talk about owning your own business, I have worked with hubby over 20 years doing that! So I know what that is like. Cept I still have to work with him. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I am a high school student so I guess that's work at the moment

 

[frogparty]

It better be! Gotta keep those grades up and study hard! Get in to good habits now before college

 

[agent A]

Thanx for telling me

I should get back to studying for a biology test

My fantasy profession, if u call it that, is Lady GaGalogy, the study of Lady GaGa and her awesomeness

 

[frogparty]

My theory is tha lady gaga is a man. Prove me wrong...

 

[agent A]

Ok, I will try

I shall do intense research and study the mother monster in her natural habitat, New York

If any NY member sees lady gaga tell her I love her

3rd shift, industrial electrician.

 

[hibiscusmile]

ohh! electric! I love it, and I hate it, like to do it, but always afraid I will kill myself! Must be hard work!

 

[sinensispsyched]

I'm a middle school student.

 

[hibiscusmile]

I was a student once, many, many, many moons ago!

 

[angelofdeathzz]

Moons or not your good to go I my book. The more moons the more wisdom, you can't buy that at the store?

 

[agent A]

I think that everyone here who is very young, under 20, should start their own topic, we r the new generation of hobbyists and there's quite a few of us

Me, Ryan, shieldmantid, sinisha, sinensispsyched, gripen, and a few more im sure

Just a thought students, unite!!!

 

[angelofdeathzz]

agent A, I like your style! But never stop learning from the older when you get the chance.

 

[hibiscusmile]

yea, ditto, can't tell you how many times my sons have come to us and said, " I hate to say it, but you were right"!

 

[agent A]

I agree with u

If it weren't for peeps like Phil, yen, hibiscusmile, Tammy, Henry, and countless others, I wouldn't be where I am today as far as my insects go
