I worked at grocery store for 5 years. worked my way from a "courtesy clerk" (stock boy) to assistant manager. finally got sick of working no less than 48 hours a week and getting crap pay so i applied at Nestle (no we don't make candy or chocolate lol). I work 3rd shift EPSU (Equipment Prep Set-Up) or fancy for sanitation - 10 hour shifts , 9pm - 7:30am , 4 nights a week and been doing it almost 2 years.
Service Advisor at a very large Toyota Dealer. Very stressful job at times. That's why I have my pond- it's a great place to chill out after a crazy day.
Specialist technician for FORD POWERSTROKE DIESEL'S been doing it 7 years now, started out washing truck and have worked my self up to the point where i am almost a senior master tech. i need 3 more years and 2 more classes to become a senior master. I love my job most of the time, sometimes i would rather not be there but that is about normal, i find watching my fish and looking into my pond is very stress relieving. The dealership i work at houses a FORD line a PETERBILT line and a MITSUBISHI line of vehicles and we work on all of them.
I worked for a third party maintenance company that serviced hotel terminals in the late 80's. from there I did book keeping for a craft company, then I ran my own home decorating business, now after 5 kids, I mostly play in the garden and enjoy the grand children.
I trained as a panel beater and am now a vehicle damage estimator and superviser at an accident repair center
