Who here doesn't work?

I work unfortunately! I keep trying to convince my husband that he DESERVES a trophy wife. You know, one that goes to the gym, then out to lunch w/ the girls, then massage, and by the time he gets home actually have makeup on and dinner ready!!! LOL!! Right now he's lucky if I've actually gotten showered and dressed after the gym!!!

But I do work in my home, and can decide my own hours. I sew for a living, and as long as I'm turning in my quota, I don't have to rush. It's great cuz the kids are at school all day, but I can take time to do the Vday parties and stuff!
 
Eye34, that sounds like a nice gig you got goin' there. I'm jealous of you as well. Although if I worked from home, I imagine I'd get nothing done.
 
Doncha know it! It takes alot of will power to find motivation! Cuz it's an extremely BORING job. But somebodies gotta do it!
 
I am not working for a meantime but I can't wait to go back to work. I am excited! I can't stand just staying home doing nothing. I dont have to work but I choose to work :)
 
Unfortunately, I'm currently unemployed. Not by choice. I was laid off by the law firm I was working for.

With any luck, I will be getting into Graduate School and won't have to mope around here for much longer.
 
Even if I were married I would want my wife to work at least part time - even if it were just volunteer or charity work.

I see a lot of stay at home hoes in my neighborhood and I don't think it's too good for the mind / spirit.
 
Being at home all the time is definitely bad for the mind and body.

Granted, I've been able to work on my writing a ton.
 
I retired two years ago. I still dabble in investments, sit on a board or two and help out friends.

It doesn't suck.

yeah, I do. Honestly, I would pick any kind of job if that means that I actually will rest up when I get home :)

Congrats bor.

Well, it depends on what you call "work". I've sold two businesses now and worked in "Business Development" (code for Mergers & Acquisitions inside GE), so occasionally I'll help a friend package-up their business for sale. I'm doing one of those now.

Also, a lot of my previous work was in electronic supply chain management systems in healthcare. I'm helping setup one for orthopedic physicians.

I guess I "work"... sort of... it's just that I'm sure not punching a clock, collecting a bi-weekly paycheck, or attending back-to-back-to-back meetings. Oh... and *nothing* gets in the way of my nice, long 2-hour workouts each day :)

Did you ever get into any data management in healthcare or on the pharmaceutical side? Just curious, no need to answer if you don't want to.

I did... but just a little bit. When I was with GE, we purchased a company in the Pacific Northwest called MedicaLogic. They were (and still are) one of the precious few successful Patient Medical Records companies.

MedicaLogic had a very promising service where they scrubbed patient records and provided the data to pharma companies and to contract research organizations (CRO's). At the time, we wanted to build this business into a quasi-CRO company ourselves. It made a lot of sense, because we were also courting Amersham (a massive UK biotech company) for acquisition which we ultimately bought in 2004 (or 2005... time flies). With all of it's assays and sequencing equipment, we figured that GE could become a "one stop shop" for pharma companies in their drug discovery process.

Even with scrubbed data, where the patient's identity is completely eliminated, we got some resistance from privacy and patient advocate groups. It's just such a messy area... I remember meeting with one group that objected to computerized medical records completely because they felt doctors should be forced to do their own ground-up medical assessment of each patient instead of using electronic information to establish a patient's medical history.

I know one or two other guys who have similar arrangements with GE - good deal.

I'm invovled with a medical publisher that has done some things around (but not in) the data field - keeping our distance for the reasons you describe.

When / if time permits I'd enjoy talking to you more about it.
 
Hey!! I don't work a real job. Interviewed for one today, but am going to turn it down. :D


I don't need to work, but I keep myself busy with things I like to do:

1. I maintain an adult website (no, my pictures aren't on it)
2. I grow plants and vegis that I sell at farmers markets and to local health food stores - so summer is my busy season.
3. I'm licensed with the state to do soil analysis testing for contractors so they can put in septic systems. (This makes the most money.)
4. I work periodically for my SO who owns an excavation company. I can run a backhoe, skip loader, roller, paver, blah, blah, blah. I have shoveled hot asphalt and dug ditches. But only when I wanted to. :D

It looks like I do a lot, but it goes in spurts. The last 2 month, I haven’t done much of anything. It’s been wonderful. :heart:
