I was curious as to what the law is about concealed carry at your job. I have a carry permit but I was just curious. Thanks in advance.

It depends on where you live, and where you work. I think a detailed reading of your state carry statues would be needed. There's not some federal law that says "folks can't carry guns at their workplace".

Many employers forbid employees from bringing weapons onto company property. Violations can lead to immediate termination. Violators can also be charged with trespassing if they do not leave immediately when asked to.
Some state have laws that allow employees to keep legally owned firearms locked in their vehicles on their employer's property.
Much of it has to do with company policy, not the law. Depending on where you work, you might not get arrested, but you will get fired for violating company policy.

Local P&P controls the act. Some industries may have special regulation in statute (medical, educational, government, etc). If you're not confident in the answer you'll receive at the local level, I wouldn't advertise your interest or possible intent. Do a cost:benefit.
I have to carry at my day job. They even want me to carry an extra gun, too. A little harder to carry at my PT job though. Still, is nice.
I work corrections so no "concealed" carry at work for me.
