3. Radio disk jockey by trade, currently not employed.
I chose to leave the workaday world six years ago to be a stay-home mother.

My training and experience are in radio; I also have an insurance background in P&C and specialty insurance.

4. I'm "other."
I am an airline captain on LTD (long-term-disability). I look it as a medical retirement, which it is.

8. Chronically up in the air.
Edited on Tue Nov-30-04 09:44 PM by SarahBelle
Both jobs are hospital jobs, so officially private sector I suppose (I'm a nursing student). I just got a job a little over a week ago and I'm supposed to start my orientation in two weeks. It's 20 hours a week but with benefits and I "should" get extra hours if I want (I need full-time) and after 4 months of looking, I was happy. Today, I get called by another hospital (which is actually the one I originally wanted to work at) to interview for a full-time position Friday. :crazy:

Just when I thought things were getting good, I find that they may be getting even better. :D
