I know this has been asked before but since we have some new Jellies, I thought it would be helpful to know people’s careers or what they are doing. As always, feel free not to answer if you prefer not to.

@Hawaii_Jake I’m currently working on a farm house table (two in fact, but I’m doing one, and a colleague the other, in a different style).

Former travel agent and a long time stay at home mom. I’m now working in an upscale deli in downtown Madison and enjoying the perks that come with it. My employer has a suite at two music venues in the neighborhood so that means free shows for the employees. My employer also matches up to 10k in educational expenses so I can finally finish my studies to become a medical coder. I’ll be taking online courses in February. My work is only two blocks from my home. It takes me five minutes to walk from my front door to the break room at work. I got lucky!

My goal is to be working as a medical coder this time next year. It’s a field that desperately needs new people and it pays well. I also won’t have to work weekends or holidays like I do now. :)

Before I did what I’m currently doing (representing employees for the union), I was a child services worker for 10 years. We would try to help parents whose children were at risk of foster care. It was not always successful and sometimes they ended up in foster care. I worked in a small city that is very insular.

I have two “jobs”, both of which aren’t steady and I am looking for a more “normal” job to speak.

At the moment, I work as a sex escort and I play rhythm guitar for a local band called Death Dolls. I make a pretty decent living doing both, but the virus is certainly making things difficult. At the moment, I am only taking clients from home and am not only requiring prior testing for STDs, but for Coronavirus as well. I am also severely limiting the amount of clients I take.

As for the band, we’re not getting together a-lot to practice, and we’re not playing in any gigs or venues, and we’re certainly not traveling. We’re currently in the process of trying to make an album, but that’s slow going now.

I just hope in the near future to land a new job since the virus is making things difficult.

@gwynnannette Wow, sounds a little dangerous without the testing, be careful!
