What do we all do for a living?
Brown Eyes:
What do you do?
I'm an art curator
More than one thing?
no
Work at home?
Avoiding bringing work home with me is a major, daily goal of mine. But, alas, I often find myself bringing "homework" home. But, no, I don't technically work at home.
Seasonal work? FT, PT, variable, on call, hourly?
full time
Are you doing what you wanted to do? Would you prefer some other line of work?
Yes, this job is my first career job out of grad school and I spent 7 years in grad school hoping to become a curator. So, sometimes I pinch myself with how lucky I was to land this job right off the bat. But, it's been a major adjustment starting this job. And, lots of aspects of it are very different from how I imagined them. But, yes, I love my job.

That wasn't me who said that! My child's only four, I think yelling at her til my throat hurt would be traumatic for her. Besides yelling doesn't seem to be the motivator for her. "Wow, all you have left is to put your shoes on and then we can GO!" still works with her pretty well. I do a whole lot of "Hey, as soon as you [FILL IN BLANK A], then we can [FILL IN BLANK B]!!" :)
Thanks for your interest in doulas, Friends. Kelda, thanks for posting the definition. I was a labor doula (not post-partum, didn't really know much about babies back then), so before a birth, I helped women and families figure out what they thought would help them most during labor, and then was with them during labor to help them stay with what worked for them. It was pretty amazing. And tiring. This might be changing in the field now, but back then (12 years or so ago), the commitment on the doula's part was to stay with the woman the whole time through labor no matter how many hours it went. That was grueling, especially the one week I had three women I was working with call me. It took literally weeks to get back on track after missing so much sleep.
