Senior lab supervisor.  I make sure that six scientists and about 30 research associates are following protocols and guidelines.  All this for developing small molecule drugs for cancer,  liver disease, metabolism and inflammatory disease.

What a difference a month and a half makes.  Company just let go of 1/2 its employees (270 total) I have a gut feeling my department is not going to last very long. 

Time to update the resume again.....dammit, just when things were going so well.

Teacher, laid off 3 yrs. ago with 10 yrs. tenure due to enrollment and state budget declines
Have been sub teaching since then while hoping the job market and economy improve.
The one plus to my situation is it gives me more time for my passions fishing, golfing and music

Anyone need a teacher?

then you are tragically having a very busy morning today.   

I sit in a beautiful office over-looking the main launch ramp of the Sac river here in Redding (pic attached is my view all day).  I get to watch all the drift boats hit the water about 9am, who then spend about an hour hitting one of the top riffles in the area right out my window.  As cool as that sounds, I haven't fished it myself in over 3 years.  Very sad.  My day typically involves IT troubleshooting, dealing w/ HR issues, sourcing/evaluating new projects, and working w/ project mangers to make sure they don't blow their budgets...business manager for environmental consulting firm.

I'm just a lowly Crossing Guard with the Alameda Police Department (Traffic Division).  Only been doing it for the last 6 school years.  Was at Home Depot San Leandro, but the stress level was like 95% and this job is like 05%.  I've even been accused by some of the parents of having too much fun (I get to pick on the kids, parents, and car drivers).
