lynxster4 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Wow @barbieq25 that's quite a resume! I'm impressed. 🤩 During high school I worked as a nurse's aide in the infirmary section of our local nursing home and took drafting classes. After graduation I was hired by a major engineering firm in the Chemical Plants Division. Drafted for quite awhile, then switched over to HVAC insulation, which I am currently an estimator and project manger for my company. I have been in the construction business, in some form or other, for 44 years. HVAC insulation for the last 22 years. It was a hard, hard road being a female but I endured. And my prize? I'll be retiring soon!! I cannot wait! 😆 1 2 Quote My Art Gallery | My Shape Packs | ShapeMaker Mini Tut | Air Bubble Stained Glass Chrome Text with Reflections | Porcelain Text w/ Variegated Coloring | Realistic Knit PatternOpalescent Stained Glass | Frosted Snowman Cookie | Leather Texture | Plastic Text | Silk Embroidery Visit my Personal Website "Never, ever lose your sense of humor - you'll live longer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDale Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 In my younger days, I worked as a window and door fitter on caravans and portable office cabins before being a delivery driver for the Royal mail postal service. In my mid 20's I became a session musician / keyboard technician and live mix sound engineer, although semi-retired, I still hope to be back out there playing live again once this pandemic and life restictions get more relaxed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have studied harder. 🤔 Without hairdressers and beauticians life is not that good. Remember the Zoom meetings without video? Of all the services I missed the most, the hairdresser was top of the list. Second was the nail salon. Hairdressing is a tough gig sometimes too. @sashwilkoyou are not just a hairdresser. 😀 Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

Don't sell yourself short Sasha. You're not "just" anything. Occupations and qualifications don't define who you are. That comes from within: how you feel, engage with others, outlook on life, etc..., that's the important stuff right there. 💖 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
