I'm sure someone has posted this previously, but I'm going to be a pain in the arse, and ask anyways....LOL...Aside from being a mother of 4, which I absolutely love, I have 3 other paying jobs.
I work for a local Taxidermist in my area. I've been there for 2 years, and absolutetly love it! My motto is, "I get to give animals eternal life" I also work for a Trucking Outfit doing books, and cleaning Trucks and the shop, and my husband and I own a 3 ton Picker Truck W/ 40 foot Trailer, which my hubby operates, and I swamp on occasionally as well as do the books for our company. I'd love to hear what everyone does, including if your a stay at home mom. :d

Love these "get to know ya" threads. I'm a mom of 3, a fawking awesome wife, and I do books/safety/janitorial you name it, for a small custom fab shop in Blue Ridge. Been there 6 years and love it, but now it's time to find a job in Rocky Mountain House as we are moving down there this summer.

Well I am like 3 or 4 jobs rolled into one(admin assist, purchasing clerk, purchasing assistant), I currently work for ATCO Electric I was just transfered over from ATCO Power which I worked for 1.5 years, previously I was in construction 3-4 years prior to my cushy office life. My office is about 10 mins from my door, I take the bus to avoid downtown traffic, really no complaints about my job :eek:

I went to school for Land Agent but am now a stay at home mom of 2 girls ages 1 and 2. Once they are in school, I'm thinkin I will get into real estate rather than go back to the land bit.

It is a beautiful place to live! I drive my kids crazy everytime we go down there, as we come up to the first hill where you can see the mountains from, I start saying over and over, here it is, mommy's favorite part of the trip, are you ready for it... hahaha. I totally took it for granted growing up there, thought everyone had that right out there back door!

I'm a Board operator in a poly plant out side or Red Deer, I also have a oil field rental business on the side, which is not very busy these days! Need a rental? 400bbl water tanks, rig matting, rig phones, wildfire kits.
I used to work in the Hot Tapping business for 10 years prior to my 9 years at the poly plant, I miss those days on the pipeline!
