General Manager of a Retail store that sells Verizon Wireless Products and Services, as well as Dish Network. Been doing it for about 3 years, started off as a sales associate. Great gig, Im a gabber so I love to talk to people. Looking at trying to get out of the store though, move into upper management soon hopefully.

I have a degree in Accounting. Unfortunately, it took me a while to figure out I’d rather watch paint dry than audit someone’s books. So, I moved on to something I’m passionate about - information technology – and I’ve been a Systems Administrator for the past 16 years. Oddly enough, to my friends and family that seems to mean I’m their personal iPhone repair guy. :facepalm:

I am new to the forum but this sounded fun! I work most of the time at a local skate shop in charlotte, nc called Blacksheep. (Locals come by and buy some shoes/ have a vape) I work summers on a tv show which is my true passion and hopefully working it into career status soon. Just scared of having to move to follow work :( the tv show is called banshee and it airs on cinimax. I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys action dramas and of course BOOBIES!!! Since its on cinimax

My favorite was floral designing wedding consultant until I burned out working way too many hours for years. I still love flowers though. I'm retired but care taking 6 dogs, 8 cats and 2 horses and 2 acres by myself and "manage " ha ha my little studio rental downstairs. All this means I am a poop lady, weed killer, and I rub things all the time over and over again or brush them or bathe them. Lots and lots of grunt work. No brains. Just resignation that somebody has to do it and I like seeing things done so I do them.

I work in manufacturing. My career path has been.... Toolmaker apprentice, toolmaker, tool room supervisor, stamping operations manager.... Now materials manager after corporate decided to shut down my stamping operation and move it to other locations. I now do purchasing, expediting, and subcontractor management. And I manage shipping operations. I have done a lot of everything in my 24 years in manufacturing. Most recently we implemented a new ERP system and that has been my focus for the last 6 months and probably will be for a few more. Manufacturing is hard work these days even if you aren't on the front lines.
