[Heartland 0]

I am a cosmetologist who contracted out to special needs facilites. I hate it with a passion. I worked with people with disabilies as well as hospice, mentally ill, ect...

I currently am looking for employment as I was a sahm for the time I was in Jordan.

Looks Like I have to go back to doing hair.

I have had the same career for 12 years. I sell flooring to retail customers, commercial buildings and new construction houses. I not only help select the flooring, but also do the actual measure of the property for sizes and amounts. Because I online all the time, I am now training to use my laptop for commercial estimating. (my work thought I was really doing 'work' at my desk, i am really on vj ).

I love my job. I read somewhere, if you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life. I like it like that.

any flooring questions, fire away! I am a wealth of floor covering information.

yeah.....what's the best way to get day old cat puke off of my hardwood floors?

d 2 da oodle, I have a suggestion for you. Lay a warm damp towel over the spot for a few minutes to loosen. Then try to clean with a little white vinegar and water. Be sure to dry well. If there is a spot still, you might need to get it refinished, not an entire sand & stain, but a recoating. Another idea, try covering it with a nice area rug

Next question?

oh oh ask me how to get black candle wax out of white carpet

How do you clean stains out of dark colored grout (from the previous tennants)? Said stains having probably been there for years.

I'm a tell me what you want done and get out of my way kind of guy. For the past 16.5 years I have been a security/receptionist/clerk/messenger/fixer upper for a deputy minister's area in the federal government.

Try a commercial strength grout cleaner at HomeDepot. If that doesn't work, try to dye it a shade darker.

Awesome post! I was going to post this as my next question actually... you beat me to it!

I am a professional chef. I went to school to study professionally and have been cooking in resorts, spas, restaurants, and now am currently a private chef. I actually prefer being in restaurants/resorts so I think any time now I will quit and make the move back to what I really love! Being a private chef is not all its cracked up to be. Rude, snotty, cheap, and demanding clients who like to eat boring food have been my experience so far.

I plan to either open my own restaurant someday or open a bed and breakfast (riad) with a restaurant inside! Then once that is successful become the next Ben and Jerrys (with different a twist) I can't wait!!!!!!!

I am a "jack of many trades, master of none!" . Truly, tho, I am a retired hairdresser, platform artist & educator for a line of hair care - got burned out on that then went into coffee slinging in the French Quarter in New Orleans at a high brow coffee shop, moved to NY to "find myself" and worked as a receptionist in a high end salon (where they kept begging me to become a stylist - NO THANKS!) and then a publishing company. Then decided on my true passion and did some of my training while in NY then moved home where I could afford the schooling a little better. So, for the last 15 years I have been a licensed esthetician and massage therapist - 3 years in a day spa, now on my own in private practice. About 10 years ago I found another passion in dance and became a professional bellydancer (after some years of classes). I now teach & perform weekly and I love it so much! Soooooooooo..... all that to say: I am a massage therapist and esthetician by day, dancer by night! I am also a student of life! B)

I was head office administrator for a non-profit in India for years (accounts, cash management, website updating, correspondence, medical reports, stocking clinic) and really loved it. Since coming back here to US, all I’ve been offered is data entry and filing jobs. Currently am “Sales Assistant” with a produce company, which is mainly just data entry. Hope to get something more challenging soon – been giving job applications everyday but no luck so far.

T4E What insurance company do you work for?? I do financial recovery too for United Healthcare (medicare recovery). I also work part-time with the Islamic Society of NA as a program assistant for a cultrual exchange program. I do have an interview in the next 2 weeks in Washington DC to hopefully get a full-time job work with ISNA as the assistant to the president and vice-president at the new office in DC. I REALLY, REALLY hope that it works out!

I work for Humana substantiating claims and chasing down over-billings. I wish you luck snagging the new position. It sure sounds like a good one!

Medicare D aye?? I'm a CPhT (certified pharmacy technician) and have worked in the same independent pharmacy for the last 7.5 years. 3 years of that, I worked in our closed pharmacy, specializing in nursing and long-term care medications and the last 4.5 years, I have been in our retail pharmacy. I have had my fill of dealing with insurance companies and prescriptions!!! Hey, maybe I've dealt with some of you in fixing insurance problems....
