what do you do for a living?

I just went back to work at the beginning of the year after almost 5 years of not working. I'm the Human Resource Manager for Feldco Windows and Doors...anyone need new windows? I was doing really well.  Would have my protein shake for breakfast and bring lowfat cottage cheese and fruit for lunch.  But...we just moved and the new rule is you can't eat at your desk. So I have to go into the lunch room and smell what everyone else is eating.  It's doesn't make me more hungry, in fact makes me a bit quizey.  Can't believe I used to eat all that cr%$! Maybe now that the weather is getting a bit nicer I will be able to go out and walk at lunch...don't like the lunchroom I know in the long run it won't be good for me.  But I keep bringing my food instead of eating out of the vending machine or have to go out for fast food. So far so good.

Hey Ronna,  I actually replaced about 30 windows on our house last year, as well as siding, soffit and fascia.....with Feldco!!!!  Yaaaay!!!  I love you guys!  Wish I would have replaced our doors with your company instead of going thru Home Depot (that was a nightmare). Paula

Hey Girl... how is that job going?  I hope your still loving it. We do need knew windows and siding.  Don't know much about the company but would be willing to check them out. Have a great holiday weekend! Christina

I have been working in law enforcement for coming up on 29 years. The first 14 years I was in dispatch even before there ever was E 911. E 911 came in I think in about 1992. There was 911 before that but most PD's did not have the enhanced version with the person's address coming up on a screen. For the last coming up on 15 years I have been in the record's division processing all the paperwork that a police officer creates. I am a big pusher - paper that is. I copy reports, make calls for info regarding misdemeanor, felony and traffic cases, file, data entry, create forms, make DVDs from squad cars, handle subpoenas, process parking tickets, take payments - you name it. Records is the repository for all paperwork in the PD. We have certain guidelines for handling it properly and our department is going for accredidation at the end of the year so EVERYTHING has to lined up just so. We have to have written policy for each and every task in the dept. Chris

Hi Karey, I am a clinical resource Rn at a hospital in Naperville.   My background is in Icu/ccu but I work it all - womb to tomb!    I work nights so eating is not a huge issue.  I do work one 8 hour shift and one 12 hour shift weekly , so the 12 hour shift is a little more difficult to handle hunger wise.  I usually bring a snack to eat between 7 and 11pm ( protein bar or cheese - something small to hold me over).  Then I have a salad or something high in protein between 2 and 4 am.  I usually eat while I am charting so it works out well.  The hardest thing is when families bring food or treats for us (usually sweets) or when there is a potluck.  Nurses are notorious for eating.  I have not been quiet about my band - most people know about it and are very supportive.  There are times though that I feel like people are looking at me and what I am eating.  There have been a few times where I have tried to eat at a potluck and gotten stuck and had to run for the bathroom.  All in all though it is not horrible.
