I am a receptionist for a small AC company. My friend is the accountant there and she is the one who convinced me to come work for them. I like the job itself , but the politics in the office are horrible. Both my boss and my friend are married (to other people) at the [...]
moreNursing is Once Desired, Now Despised
I am 27 years old and have been a nurse for 5 years. I was a stay-at-home mom before that. My husband worked and though we didn’t have a lot of money, we were happy. There were a lot of times that I wished I could help him out more.
