I do part time seasonal work with a husband wife team that makes renisannce clothing and leather goods. I make my own hours pretty much. LOL Come home just in time to pick up my teenage boys and play with my three pooches. My youngest poodle, my bosses let me bring to work. I have a fold up crate that stays in my car. Hubby is a mechanic.
I am a part-time hairstylist (part time not by choice), and a part time dietary aide in a nursing home. I am married with 2 dogs: Chopper is a rat terrier and Mollie is a pug/chihuahua mix My hubby's name is Brad and he works in a factory, making farm equipment, although he went to school for graphic design (he makes more money at the factory) I have pretty much every day to myself, as hubby works days and I work evenings, so the dogs are never alone. I get up, let the dogs out, come to the Furum, and talk for about an hour or two, then watch a movie, clean a little, get myself cleaned up, and go to work. I like to go to movies and rent movies. I am a huge movie fanatic and have hardly seen any movies I really didn't like. I am a homebody, pretty much, though sometimes I do like to go out and drink at the bars with Brad and some of our friends. That's pretty much it. BOOOOORRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGG!!!!

Thanks all for replying. Hope all is well with everyone.
Mollie working in a nursing home is hard work. I did it in security/recreation and ended up with NBC at my house How do you like it? I really enjoyed all the people there they were all nice.
Everytime I answer this question it goes badly so I think I will refrain from participating in this one.

Peekaboosmom, I like working at the nursing home for the most part. My boss is a total b*tch and the administrator is a d*ck with no balls. I really don't like change when I don't think it's going to better anything and they're trying to change everything that we're doing right now in the kitchen, ie:the way we cook and serve supper and all other meals (I only do supper). I just think it's gonna be a big, ol' mess and I'm really p*ssed that it's happening. They're trying to take everything that we know about doing things in the kitchen and completely throw all that out the window. She's had so many hairbrained ideas in the 6 months that she's been there, and the Administrator funds all of them, I think, because he's either afraid of her, or because they've got something going on in their personal lives, if ya know what I mean. I am really starting to HATE it there and plan on quitting sometime before I punch her in the face and get fired for that. I've been there over5 years and had 3 different dietary managers and this one is, by far, the worst.
Yeah Mollie I know. The people that ran where I work are horrible too. I did my best to change things, and hopefully one day it will for I may not work anymore but I do visit.
Ltlgto , wow you have a lot of dogs, I see from your pics you show, how do they do in the ring, they are certainly beautiful dogs. I had a min poodle that I rescued from a hospital I worked at. Believe it or not the owners kept him outside tied to a tree in penn. during all seasons, and he came to us with a attack by a skunk.
How do you like it? I really enjoyed all the people there they were all nice.
