RE: what does everyone
I'm a SAHKM (stay at home kitty mom)
. I'm an RN but I retired several years ago. I worked as a vet tech for a long time, too. People always ask me if I get bored and I honestly never do -- I can always find things to do at home. I'm free now to help aging/sick family members, too, which has been necessary quite a lot over the past couple of years.

I'm a Corporate Briefing Manager for a computer reseller in Chicago.
Meaning when we bring in multi-million dolloar accounts, it's my role to strategically sell them on our capabilities across the organization, discuss logistics and handle PR with them.
I wear a lot of hats!

I am an Actuary who works with Property/Casualty insurance and reinsurance. I work for a fitness crazed company in the Philadelphia area. One of our niche products is health and fitness center coverage. (I wonder if we've ever given Cathe a quote!).

RE: what does everyone
Wow -- this thread has gotten very long since I last checked! I hope you see my response, Roxie.
I live in Anchorage and the winters here are milder than Michigan's upper peninsula where I grew up -- less snow and it's a drier cold here. The further north you go in the state, the colder it is (the state of Texas can fit into Alaska about four times, just to give you some perspective). The winters here don't really bother me.
Also, our part of the state doesn't get 24-hours of darkness like the more northern parts. On the shortest day, the sun comes up about 10 a.m. and sets at 3 p.m. But on the flip side, in the summer, the sun is up till 2 a.m. or so and then back by 5 a.m., and I LOVE that! Yes, I use room darkening shades to sleep It's funny because when I go to the Lower 48 now, it's odd to me if it's dark by 9:30 in July ;-)
Temps in January can be in the teens (and we do get the occassional below zero cold snap) and in the summer, we are generally in the mid-to high-60s. This last week or so, it's been in the low-70s. We even hit 80s every once in awhile, and that's pretty warm for us!
Okay, I'll quit rambling! Alaska is an incredible place, and if you have get the opportunity, I highly recommend a visit!

RE: what does everyone
I'm a "Revenue Posting Specialist" - I had to put that in quotes because it's so hoity-toity sounding compared to what I actually do which is part-time medical billing on for a large hospital.
Mostly I'm a single mom to my two beauties DD age 12 and DS age 10.

Wow, what an educated crowd!!
I have been a real estate consultant for almost 10 years now. B.K (before kids) I owned a marketing consulting and project management company, travelling a lot.
Real estate works well for me with a more flexible schedule, I can spend time with my boys, age 8 and 11, and my 7 four-legged kids (6 dogs and 1 cat).
