Omg so cool that's what my company does too! For concrete we only do concrete curbs, gutter curb and sidewalk. Right now we are paving a race track it's been a crazy job! I am so proud of the work our guys do it's such a cool job, making infrastructure better one day at a time lol we have our own pit, asphalt plant and shop onsite it's so fun to be apart of a company like that. Every day is exciting !

I've mentioned this previously but I've worked in classrooms for the last 20 years alongside autistic/ Aspergers / dyslexic teenagers - helping them get through the sheer trauma of secondary / high school .
Very , very rewarding but of course also very stressful - for me ..as I'm also Aspergers which is a great help as regards insight into to their problems but is a double edged sword of course .
Great holidays :)

I am a stay at home person and caretaker of my boyfriend's 68 year old handicapped father. I also do all of the housework and cooking. I take care of my dog and snakes. I know this does not sound very impressive but some days are such a challenge with being the main caretaker. Having my snakes and my dog is so therapeutic and relaxing, this greatly reduces my stress levels.

I am an elementary school teacher, one of the only guys in the building. Yes, my co workers think it's a little crazy, but they all know about them. I even have one in the classroom. The kids love it when I put her down on the floor. She just sits there and periscopes looking at all of them.

A Royal / Ball python or something else ??

Got a mojave female ball there right now. It's about time to take her home for a while. Heat doesn't go on in the building when outside temps above 60 so I worry about temps in spring and fall.

I stay at home too, and much prefer it that way!
BF is retired.

So, how do we afford the snakes?
Careful budgeting and patience.

I am a full time student and hobbyist seller of leather masks and goods. I maintain an etsy account and sell some goods at local venues when I can. How I manage to keep feeding my critters, is through careful budgeting and planning.

This is very impressive to me! I am looking after my 63 year old disabled father as well as working full time, taking care of my own boyfriend and household - it's VERY challenging at times but looking after people can be quite rewarding as well. Glad you have your animals to help with stress =) I find that after a hard day I just can't wait to bring Val out to unwind with me.

Haven't been out that way but something like that. I think since I have no idea what the masks at the music fesitval look like. Lol [emoji13] I actually have a thread in the creative corner on what some of my works look like. [emoji4]

You're very talented, I really like you're masks! The music festival masks were very similar, maybe a bit more on the freaky side? lol I really appreciate people who can work with their hands so meticulously and I imagine leather is very challenging to work with - keep up the great work =) Please feel free to send me your etsy link!

i had a BP delivered to my office once - http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...Fiyero-is-here!! they're cool with it, but prefer me not to have animals shipped to my office anymore. they know about it, some have seen and held my animals. they asked me to bring one to our holiday party this past year but i didn't want it being around a buncha gawking drunk people. lol

that's so cool! my friend was also a flight attendant. the safety demo at the beginning of each flight is my fav part of the flight and so fun. every attendant does their's differently. a lady did the snorkle once and back stroke during the water landing portion. lol

I'm a licensed veterinary technician. I worked in private practice for 13 years, and now I do shelter medicine. I work at the local humane society and get to see the neatest medical cases. Quite a few of my coworkers also have snakes or reptiles as pets, so no one views it as weird at all.

I am an automation and measurement specialist for an oil and gas company based in California. I oversee the installation and maintenance of pipeline flow computers, PLC's, radio equipment and online gas analyzers. Keeps me busy. In my spare time I run a BBQ catering business.

All of my friends and coworkers think I am weird for having snakes.

I am a super hero. when the sun vanishes to give light to its counterpart, i don my suit to fight evil doers and crime in my neighborhood!

If yall dont buy that, im a simple shift manager at mcdonalds

thanks :D

thats really meant a lot for me

I'm a stay at home mom, and I run an in-home daycare! I have a 4 year old daughter and I watch 4 girls between the ages of 6 months and 3 years. My "co-worker" is my husband, and of course he thinks I'm a bit weird, but he tolerates me and Monty anyway. All of the girls LOVE Monty and constantly ask for me to take him out (which I have only done once so far. They're a little crazy and I don't want to freak him out!). His tank is in a spare bedroom that they don't have access to, but I let them go in and peek at him for a minute or two before they take their afternoon naps.

I'm a waitress, boring, but it's getting me through school

I'm a graphic designer and illustrator. But my hobbies including my two snakes are funded by me donating blood plasma. I got into it because I have a family member whose life depends on it and it made me realize how important it is. So in turn I get to feel good by not only helping people but it pays for my coffee, snake, and video game addictions. Did I mention I'm a grown woman? Because I just made myself sound like a 14 year old boy.

Aerospace inspector.... NDT anybody else?

Wow , some interesting occupations so far ...

Carpenter . Frame and sheet houses. Long days but pays for what I want to do outside of work .

I work in a seafood restaurant, and I'm bout to start goin school here soon.

I'm an office manager for a small architectural firm; I taught English for six years and decided that was sufficient. Now that I have my own children (both teenaged boys -- send help!) I appreciate their educators like nobody's business.

My husband is a restaurant manager, and is seriously awesome. We manage :)

The guys at work think the snakes are weird, but one of our summer interns this year also has snakes which has been a pleasant turn of events. Plus that nice kid thought I was only 32 (I turn 46 in just over a week). I think we should keep him.

All pretty interesting careers though ...

I'm a support workers working with autism and challenging behaviour. Not the best pay for what we have to do bit it's worth it.
Takes a while to build a collection of bps tho. I got 3 at the moment

my buddy who is somewhat capable at building stuff (i'm barely good with legos) helped me put together a rack system that holds 14 tubs.

materials ran me about $150.


we were going to build another one, but someone stole his tools from out his backyard.

i just dropped $300 on some used racks, and they only hold 6 tubs. :(

so yes, very useful skill set.
