I am a SAFETY COORDINATOR at a refinery. I work 6-2:30 so I can get off in enough time to be at all my DD's softball stuff. If I worked a normal 8-5 job, I would be in deep trouble!!
DH-works offshore 7 and 7
So I am the official driver to and from pitching, practices, schools, more practices, and shopping!
I'm a programmer for a major bank and my DH is a Project liason for a major software company. We can each work from anywhere, so are free to travel with DD team.
I pay doctors bills, buy sb equipment, data entry (scorebook), and provide team limo service.
& I can't reveal anything about my workplace as I am starting to take as much time on non-work stuff as all the water-cooler social butterflies or even the smokers going back n forth to the end of the company property!
I supervise work crews and help examine a large coal mine in Southern Illinois. Our mine is spread out over about 8 miles 650' below the earth! I also, am an EMT.
In my spare time I help coach a 12u travel ball team and work on our local rec board coordinating leagues. And when I can get someone to listen that you don't pitch with your hand behind the ball, I give pitching lessons(though I hesitate to call them lessons). For free of course!
I push a lot of paper. Or used to when everything was paper, now it's mostly electronic PDFs it seems. Though there still is a fair amount of actual paper that needs real signatures. Then it gets scanned to PDFs.
My sister and I own a couple of small business, the main one requires that I sit in front of a computer all day actually working, the other is much more passive. I telecommute most of the time because I live about 80 miles from our actual office locations so I break up the day feeding my softball obsession on this forum. I control my spending pretty well, and am generally really conservative with money and credit, so I never bought the fancy car or other expensive toys so I can afford to splurge on all the gear I want for the girls, coaches, travel etc. I am so thankful for my daughters' passion for this game as it took this jaded sports junky and introduced him to a great sport that has not been destroyed by big money. I loved sports as a kid but just got sick of the commercialism of the major sports. This game still has the "for the love of the game" vibe and that is what it is all about.
