occupational blogs

Hauling Secrets is where I write about my experiences as a hauler. I like the idea of “occupational” or “work-related” blogs, where you can learn a little something about other people’s working lives. So I searched the internet for other people doing the same thing. After clicking through and reading enough to get a taste of way too many of them, I’ve made a little list of some of the very best work-related blogs. Here they are, in alphabetical order:

Adventures of Chopper Chick - a helicopter pilot fighting fires and flying for a news channel in LA
At Your Cervix - a registered nurse in a teaching hospital’s labor and delivery unit
Clublife - a NYC club bouncer’s blog
Cockpit Conversation - a commercial aviator in Canada
Confessions of a Community College Dean
Doctor Anonymous
- a doctor somewhere in the Midwest
Evil HR Lady - answers your HR questions
Flight Level 390 - an airline pilot, with pictures from the cockpit
Ghosty Ghosty Crocodile
- indie escort girl
ISED8U - (”I sedate you”) “adventures in anesthesia” by a certified registered nurse anesthetist
Johnny Law Chronicles
- detective in a large Southwestern US city
Law & Disorder - Iowa cop and forensic computer specialist
Mental Nurse - mental health nursing in the UK
Nee Naw - memorable calls and more from a dispatcher at London Ambulance’s control room
Negative, Ghostrider
- a nightshift cop’s blog
New York Hack - pictures from a NYC cab driver
Ob/Gyn Kenobi - OB/GYN blog
Random Acts of Reality - blog of an EMT working for London Ambulance Service. Wrote a post about how to blog and not lose your job.
The Report Card - a teacher at a school of “never ending chaos”
Rest Area 300M - “confessions of a New Zealand Road Worker”
Truck Driver Blog - a professional long haul trucker
Waiter Rant - waiter in a fancy NYC restaurant

These are some of the best work related blogs I’ve had the pleasure of finding and perusing before my eyes got tired. Special attention has been paid to bloggers who try to remain anonymous and who stay mostly on the topic of work. There are hundreds more out there. If you know of any good ones that I missed, please comment on this post.

    I love New York Hack (already on your list), but it was better before she got her book deal and stopped driving the taxi. :)
