[jkl]

I was a morning tv anchor.

[jstauffer]

I was a software engineer before I was a SAHM.

[Michele]

I was an assistant project manager at an Architecture firm.

I basically took care of all the non-design aspects of various projects...billing/invoicing, contracts, budgets, schedules, editing proposals/letters/specifications, planning meetings etc. It was pretty boring!

[Kate]

I was an onsite staffing resource specialist.

[TtownAnne]

I was a legal secretary.

Okay, so far I win, I must've had the most boring job in the world...I worked in the Fed. Gov't in the disability department, reading applications to determine who qualified for disability pensions. Sad too. :blue:

[sheila]

I think my official title was Special Projects Manager for eCommerce - NAFTA CE. Basically, I coordinated the efforts of the Consumer Electronics division of a multinational company to make the website work to everyone's advantage. What I actually did was sit in on alot of meetings and tell people what we couldn & couldn't do because of the technical infrastructure that was out of my control.

[Eva]

I was a Registered Nurse on a general surgery unit of a small hospital that recently got shut down due to government healthcare cutbacks. :(

[Karri]

I was the Director of Human Resources and Office Administration for the state's largest commercial real estate firm. The HR part I loved. The other part was being a boss for a bunch of office admin people (who couldnt report to the people they supported b/c they were real estate brokers, who arent technically employees), and that part sucked ass.

[Sandy]

and that part sucked ass.
YOU KILL ME KARRI!!! :rotflmao:

[daisy73]

My official title was Society Concierge. Sound fancy huh, not really. Basically, I worked for a private club providing members access to premium seating to sporting events, concerts, broadway shows, etc. Also, booking golf tee times. The part I really disliked was selling memberships. I'm not very good at sales. Oh, and the management "sucked ass" big time. That was one of the biggest reasons I decided not to return. I loved my Members though and was a little sad not to be able to talk to them anymore.

[kalynnsmom]

I was a teacher's assistant for special education-Life Skills, Autism, and Severe and Profound.
