Currently laid off at the moment but I just heard word on Friday that I am being called back to my old position. The hospital that I work/worked/working for laid me off because of health reasons. (Yes, I know that is illegal but they [or should I say "she" because it was actually the director of my department] found a loophole) I have been laid off for four months. But, I am happy to say that the "higher-ups" forced her to take me back because the department has gone to Hell in a handbasket since I left. (Don't you just love Karma?!?!)
Anyways, my official title is Control Clerk in the hospital's Professional Billing department. I know, I HATE that title! Everyone always asks me, "Are you a control freak?" I always like to reply with Joss' line, "No, I am a control enthusiast."
To explain what a Control Clerk is....it's basically a jack-of-all-trades. I maintain our billing software database and am the unofficial computer guru of our department.

*snerk* Yup, Train Job. Is it just me, or is that the reaction of every Browncoat who finds out what I do for a living?

Screenwriting. Well, scriptwriting technically, since I'm not averse to video games, comics, or staged plays, but It's TV that I'm aiming for. I want Joss' job.
Don't know about anyone else, but I sure wouldn't argue with getting you into a position where you could work on putting Serenity back in the air.

I'm a therapist in a children's mental health program in West Virginia -- the state with the highest rate of child maltreatment deaths in the U.S. Author proceeds from the sale of my first science fiction novel are donated to prevent child abuse. I can't afford to advertise, but I have had some success through pro bono contributions, including two book reviews. Please see the following links. So, I guess I'm a writer too.
