What do you do for a living?


Recommended Posts

I build, assemble, and wire control panels for gasoline vapor recovery units. I love to build things so I love what I do. Everyone I work with is pretty awesome as well. I can also vape while I work (secretly my favorite part :P). Who else is allowed to do this?

General Sales Manager for a GM Auto Group. Been running GM dealerships for close to 15 years since college. I openly vape and welcome vaping in our business and buildings, as does the owner. He has seen firsthand the change in my life it has made and is 100% supportive.

Im a dog groomer ! I can openly vape anywhere in the building at my table or where ever . I do however, out of professionalism refrain from vaping in front of clients . Same as eating or drinking .Its just rude and unprofessional to me . But I dont think my boss would care .I have gotten a few of my coworkers on board with vaping and Im super excited about that! Im trying to get the kids that work in the kennel side on board now . WHen I say kids I mean the under 20-25s .

I'm a Registered Nurse and work as a Nursing Supervisor in a medical building. My employer and all of my coworkers have not given me any grief about vaping in my office. I use to take smoke breaks outside about every hour and came back in smelling like an ashtray so I think they like the change. :thumbup:

For most of my adult life I owned a small jewelry shop/store where we bought, sold, repaired jewelry and did in-house custom jewelry design and manufacture. 10 years go I shut it all down and moved to Fl. Now I'm having a big time driving around the country as a pilot car/escort for oversize loads.

I work as an office manager/bookkeeper/accountant from my home for a small company that installs and services in-ground lawn sprinkler systems. I've been with this company for 20 years now. Obviously since I'm in my own home, I can vape whenever I want!! :D

I USED to be a legal secretary, before I had to quit working and went on disability, the last seven years of my career at Legal Aid working as the secretary for the head of litigation (loved the lawsuits we worked on, we were making a difference), and as the unit secretary for the public benefits unit, helping people get their "entitlement" benefits, like TANF (cash assistance), food stamps, Medicaid (disability related Medicaid); I was also the unit secretary for the Medicaid for children and families unit, and the consumer unit (usually predatory lending cases), which was sort of blended with litigation. I probably COULD have gone on disability earlier - I'd been having nervous breakdowns for about two years, a year before I had to stop working, I had to take a month work of sick leave for that reason, and I'd been under psychiatric care for six years - which actually, performance issues suffered during the nervous breakdown I was having then led to my termination, and within a few weeks of that, I started having the physical issues. I attempted to work for six more months, I worked a couple of temp jobs, but the pain was too much, and then my MS hit....so, I just stopped. I couldn't drive anymore, sitting at a desk was exceptionally painful, my typing speed was cut in half, although after about a year I had recovered some of my speed, but every time I had an MS flare, I lost a little bit more function in my hand, it would take months to gain SOME of that function back, and the MS fatigue made it difficult to stay awake for what would be a full work day. I basically got approved for disability on the basis of my bipolar, the chronic pain caused by my fibromyalgia, and at that time, only a little bit was based on my MS - basically, only as it affected my typing ability and my cognitive issues.

So yeah, I can vape pretty much whenever I want now.

Edit: I do have to say, if I was still working my old job, I doubt I would be allowed to vape at my desk. When our previous Executive Director was there, we had an indoor smoking area (prior to the law being passed in St. Louis City saying smoking could not be done inside businesses other than bars or smoke shops), but when she retired, or rather, when the new Executive Director took his position, shortly after that (while I was on leave), he changed the rules so we had to smoke outside - and not just anywhere, on the loading dock. Since I was on leave when the decision came down, I didn't know about the change in policy until the day I came back to work. It was December, just before Christmas, I believe, and I only wore a jacket into work, because all I thought I had to worry about was going from my house to the car, and the car to the building. Oh, no. I had to go outside to smoke, and it was 18 degrees!
