Your Jobs ~ Tuesday 4

Hello!  It's time again for Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4.

This week's idea for questions came from Pamela Steiner and it's all about your occupation and work. (actually lasts weeks because I’m behind).

I think that's a great idea, so here are the questions.

1.What did/do you do for work and how long did you work in that position? 

I work full time as an administrative specialist for the department of social services in Child and Family Services. I work with CPS, Foster care and adoption. I assist social workers with the information they need for courts and decision making along with other office needs. I have been at this position for 5 years. 

2. Of the jobs you've had throughout life, which was your favorite? If no favorite, which was the worst? Tell us why you loved/hated your job.

The job I have now is my favorite. I love helping in the needs of children. I have learned new and interesting things, stay busy, made a lot of friends and love that I have my own little cubical works space with a large window view of the city. The pay is terrible but the benefits are good.

3. What did your job entail?  Did it require a special education?  

My job entails a lot of research and background checks which means a lot of sitting and screen time. I did not need any special education but it did require me to have certain skills and experience. Even with all my skills, I still had to learn a lot that I have never experienced before. I did have to get a notary license and attend educational meetings and continued online learning. 

4. List all the jobs/occupations you have had.

Oh wow, that will take to much space to list them all. I have worked since the day I turned 16 and I’m 57 now. My first job was cleaning tables at a fish camp. (We call them fish camps here. You may call them fish houses. 

Here are some of the other jobs I worked when I was younger but didn’t keep them long. I wanted to have fun. Haha.

Taco Bell.

Carrowinds Theme park.

Painted houses.

A small car lot.

A daycare.

and a foot doctor assistant. 

   Once I got older I kept my jobs a little longer.

Dye mill - 2 years.

Belks Dept store- 1 year.

Stanley Steemer office manager- 26 years.

I plan to stay where I am now until I retire, I have about 8 more years but hopefully only 5. Well see.

The way it looks now, I’ll be working til Jesus comes. 

Remember Me?

Gosh, I just noticed that I have not made a blog post since January. I don’t know, I guess life just got in the way and I put blogging on the back burner. 

A few other reasons I kind of just forgot about it is that I ran out of stuff to blog about. I felt like I was not gaining any new followers and this daggum iPad that I blog from has been acting up. It’s not easy to fix my errors and formats. I plan to get a small computer so I can specifically use it for blogging. If you know of a good little computer thats perfect for blogging, please let me know in comments. 

I think about blogging all the time but just never do. If I get a chance to be still and relax to blog, I end up falling asleep. My full time job exhaust me. Well, It’s not really the job itself, I love what I do, but it’s my difficult micro manager that I have to deal with daily and it makes it hard. I’m alway tired.

I do read your blog post often when I’m taking a break during the day but never comment as it would take up to much of my fifteen minutes time. I also read them from my ipad but it was not letting me comment. I get aggravated. I just realized though, that if I comment from Google it will only let me post as “anonymous” but I can comment from Google Chrome and it works fine. So I just need to remember to use the Chrome app. 

Ok, I’m leaving it here and plan to continue blogging. I remember how good it was for me to talk about things and express feelings. I have some new recipes and crafts I hope to share with you later. So, put me back on your reading list and hope you will stick around.
