...welcome Snakegirl..as most of you know I am the HerpTrader, so that is what I do most of the time and it is from home...
I also work part time at Bunnings at the service counter, which I LOVE!!!
I deliver 'meals on wheels' on Thursdays, which is kewell too.

*sigh* like Peter I have had a few jobs, my 1st one was working for Dept of Highways in British Columbia waaaay back in '75...worked at the front desk of a big Hotel chain in Winnipeg, then ran a hotel/motel near Vancouver, when I got pregnant for my 1st child...who is now 28 yrs old..;-) aaanyway....Managed a hotel/motel in Manitoba, Canada for 10 yrs til '97 when I was held up/tied up by two armed masked guys with sawn off shot guns, loaded I may add..:cry: (they are now in prison ) No not the prison where my son is a guard...Tried to keep working there, but it kind of made a mess of me for awhile...then I worked at a Golf Course, then on to a University Book store as a cashier, immigrated to Australia, yippee!!!!! Worked as a teller in the Commonwealth Bank, did the property mgr bit for a real estate company, and now I have been at Bunnings for over 2 yrs! I must say I have loved every job I have had except the property mgr one, my boss was a REALLY yecky mean guy, so I quit on him one day!!! I liked dealing with the tenants and landlords, but the boss was another story.
I also enjoy being the HerpTrader

Hope I did not bore anyone... :roll:
