I work for the Vancouver branch of a large software company based in Redmond, WA. I work on security software development.

Let me guess... Microsoft.

This means you're responsible for stuff like Windows Updates and Microsoft Security Essentials?

Second one, yes.

Nice. MSE is my Anti-virus of choice, along with safe browsing habits.

I work for a health authority.  I work on and support software applications that clinicians and the general public use.

Sounds boring but it's cool seeing stuff I do actually impact people's lives in the "real world".

For instance, the latest thing I've been working on is an application that will let you book appointments and view results for STD/STI testing online.  The only thing you will have to do in person is go to the clinic at the specified date.  Should be out sometime in 2012.

Dallas

I work in business administration, but I've dabbled in biomedical practice and nursing and would really like to get back into it.

Fargo

My job sucks. I get to be a s**t rag for motorists (unless it's a MVA). Yup... This wuff is a flagger. :( Am seriously considering upgrading my DL to a Class 3 though.

My job sucks. :c They only give me 8 hours a week. Not enough to survive.
Like it's fun, but not enough hours and they keep giving more hours to the new hires.
Movie store, wont say which one. c:

Studying for my Serving it right (SIR) so I can make some serious money.

MSE is the best free antivirus out there, as far as I've seen. I have to admit I usually pay for ESET/NOD32 because I'm leery and my laptop does a lot of travelling into the great unknown of foreign networks, but really I'm not sure it does that much more for me. MSE, when I had it, worked well.

As you may have guessed, I work in a computer department, for a locally based drug store chain.

Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way you're right.

Im sorta unemployed at the moment but on Disibility trying to find a job but it seems i may have to move outta town to somewhere else to find one.
i setted up my own buisness selling healthy supplements for weight loss and bodybuilding also selling cosmetics and other essential stuff.
Its kinda paid under the desk kinda self managing something to do thing.
Want to become a Security Gaurd but may have to move to Kamloops to get the course for that and hopefully I can get back into boxing again there since they closed down ours here recently. xD

I just got back from my first interview at Thrifty's, I think I nailed it. The bakery manager said she was impressed.  :) I'd love to work at Thrifty's, it's a wonderful company, their customer service and quality of stock is the best in the area. The only downside is the shift starts at 5am and it's part time.

I have another one in 40 minutes for a customer service position at Safeway. This one doesn't thrill me as much, but the hours would be better than Thrifty's. There are union fees and they put you on a 'starter' wage for the first week or so.
Any work is good work though. : /

So true.

Anyway, that's great that you nailed that bakery job. Baking has always had a special place in my heart. :3

Renwaldo

Well I haven't got the position yet. I have a good feeling about it though, the lady seemed impressed.  :monocle: The position doesn't involve any actual baking, I would be packaging freshly made pastries in the morning for display. All the same I'm looking forward to working there.

I just got back from Safeway. That one didn't go as well. >.< This other woman didn't have any personality. She was like a robot, she fired five questions at me and the interview was over in minutes. I didn't see her taking any notes, and she didn't tell me much about Safeway or the position. I got the impression they weren't desperate for employees.  :-X

I guess we'll see though. I'd rather work at Thrifty Foods.
