Some of you might have read my thread
`Finding job satisfaction at work`
Anyway i am curious to know what everyone does with their day? Do you enjoy doing what you do? Do you find pleasure and satisfaction with the work you do or are you constantly staring at the clock praying for it to tick a little faster.
Me..i am a software engineer in a small company doing mainly websites and web applications. I kinda enjoy the work i do but lately have been really unmotivated. The one thing i have going with my job is that i am given a lot of freedom to learn and experiment. I also run a bead business part time. So from 9-5 i am a software engineer, 8-11 i pack beads and during my free time i work on DesignsToLove.
Howbout you?

I’m pursuing a career in law and I work fulltime for a firm close to where I live. I finished college this year but I still have to sit my final exams in December, which is really bad timing because I sell most of my jewelries in December!
Anyways, I do enjoy my job and I’m lucky that I get on really well with everyone that I work with but my passion is still all things art & craft.
I told my father when I was younger that I wanted to be an artist and he laughed. He said I’d never make a proper living being an artist and I should become a doctor or a solicitor. I suppose in a way he was right, I think it would be difficult to make a good living solely from jewelry design. I try to strike a balance between the two so kinda like you, from 9-5 I concentrate on conveyancing and from 8-11 my attention is turned over to jewelry design.

I am a SAHM and hopefully next year I will be back to full time study. I am doing a combined Science/Law degree but took some time off to be with the family.
So at the moment I fill my days with, beading, quilting, scrapbooking, general sewing, ten-pin bowling, a beading class and lots of things to do with the school.
I am having the time of my life!

i work in at an export company and handle documents for all the goods being shipped out. i also handle inventory for our retail store and do data entry to create said documents.
on the side i am trying to sell some cards, and am currently working on a project with my BIL, hopefully it`ll mean his own business if it`s successful.
DH and i just moved to our present home, so once we get settled i hope to devote more time to my crafts and other things i want to do.

I teach toddlers from 7:30am-5:30pm then I am an Etsy Addict from 6:30-9:30 (also becoming a Designstolove addict) and that`s M-F.
Then Saturdays from 7:30am-1:30pm I sell my art at a local French Market. Saturday afternoons I create new pieces of art or experiment with new ideas.
Sundays from 12pm-4pm I decorate dog biscuits at a local Barkery (yep, a dog bakery)
Sunday nights I do a little more art and watch some tv...
I enjoy teaching but not in my current job... I am currently seeking new employment...

I am also an Equine Sports Massage Therapist and Equine Acupressurist in my spare time

| I work at the customer service counter at an electronics store. It`s pretty good and I get along with most of my coworkers. But sometimes you have a problem customer. Like once I had a guy chuck a TV-Projecter at me when I told him there was a restocking fee on it if he returned it. Luckily he had bad aim

This forum is awesome!!
Me? Well, I`m a sahm, I spend most of my time homeschooling three children. I carve time out of my day for some crafting. Lately, I`ve been practicing making clasps out of brass 16 guage wire. Today, I finished wirewrapping a mother of pearl pendant in 20 guage brass wire - it took me about three days because I kept getting called away. I hope to take some pictures of my creations some day and share them with you

I got lucky and have made a career with the BEST beading wire manufacturer in the universe.
I get to go to beading shows and spend my work time designing pieces and talking about my favorite hobby.

I am retired - but mostly just tired LOL
I have had three major occupations outside of being a mom and a daughter. I worked in the special waste and hotel industries and I was also an over the road truck driver.
I used to take beads and buckskin with me to work on while I was waiting to load or unload.
Now Mother, Sister and I all work on various forms of crafts and art to supplement our incomes. We used to have a mail order catalogue for our native american work (we are N.A.) and when we retired that after several years, we decided to try our hand at learning the web!

I am a stay at home, homeschool mom.
As part of our homeschool the children are running their own craft business. So all day I`m doing what I love (except for dishes!)

I am currently the proud owner of Selena and Me Creations! I enjoy creating glass beaded jewelry. What started as a hobby is now a full time job.
After being married for almost 9 years and giving birth to my beautiful little girl, my husband and I divorced and I wanted to continue to be a stay at home mom. Now my dream is coming true and I have done this on my own!
I sell on multiple websites including my own.
One of my favorites is ETSY. Take a look and let me know what you think

I am a full time Bookkeeper. I work from 8-5 and in the evenings I usually check for orders, create new items. I hope to soon have my own business but with bills and all, I need the full time money right now.
Best of Luck to everyone.

It`s interesting to see what everyone does! Personally, I am a graphic artist, I work from home for a local advertisement company. It gives me lots of time to spend with my kids!
I`ve been doing miscellaneous crafts for many years, but just recently started selling my jewelry over the internet.
Thanks!
