    Text - JekyllandJavert • 21h I work in the fraud department of a large bank. I don't do the investigative work anymore. I deal with compliance/regulatory issues, gaps in our processes, internal and external audits, etc. It sounds boring, and it is at times. But I like that my department is so small and close-knit. There's no real micro-managing. It's very much a culture where you can do whatever you want as long as you get your job done. It's still somewhat new, and the things we're working on a

Only work nights so I sleep in til at least noon everyday.

    Text - Grizelda_Gunderson • 21h I own a sign business, run from my basement. I get to show up for work in my pajamas if I want, get to choose the clients I do business with, and get to be creative on a daily basis. I don't make quite as much as I used to working for others, due to taxes, but I've never been happier and more at peace. My business is growing (triple from last year), and we are looking to expand to some online sales soon.

    Text - JennaWraithe • 20h Librarian. I freaking LOVE my job. I love to read, and love the smell of books and paper. I love the wealth of information I read, and I love to help people find answers in my resources or just doing research myself (my library is focused on education-research). I love my job, but sometimes it's the people I can't stand.
