Okay, with all this talk about working and the craziness that is my life it got me thinking about all the weird stuff I have done since I began my illustrious days of bring home a paycheck. That thinking made me want to make a list, so here it is...
Some of these may be slightly out of order and I may have forgotten one or two...But I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours...
Starting at 12 years of age or so:
Babysitter (didn't know it was a bad idea to tell ghost stories to my charges) * Beach Monkey during the day and a bus-person at a restaurant at night (ambitious, I know) * Babysitter (remembered NOT to tell ghost stories this time) * Hostess (with the mostess of course) * Dunkin Doughnuts girl (with doughnut tree polyester uniform and all, my husband still remembers that outfit and how it accented certain parts of me) * Boulevard Aquarium (I was the tour guide for the shark display, fed the sharks and stingrays, and fell in the tank once!!) * Waitress (very BAD at that) * Church Daycare attendant * Window Display Designer * Nanny * Graphic Designer (for a yellow page ad company, very sucky) * Freelance Graphic Designer (during the interview, the lady started nursing her baby and it freaked me out, I was like 20 and had never seen THAT before :) * Birdhouse Painter * Attendant at a Photo Lab (2 assholes as my bosses who were mean and thought I should be trained after 2 days) * Kinko Copies * Funeral home secretary * Crematorium secretary * Administrative Assistant (for my soon-to-be mother-in-law, we had to keep it a secret that we were going to be related soon lest others get jealous) * More freelance graphic design * Babysitting at said graphic design firm for a web designer * Attendant/Artist du jour at little Paint-Your-Own-Pottery place * Started my own company: hand painting pottery and home-wares and selling all over the South East * Pregnant (that is a job!) * Nanny for my nephew (who was 6 months younger than my 6 month old baby. Yea, I know!) * Attendant at Paint-Your-Own-Pottery place * Painted Carousel Horse for city * Pregnant Again * More freelance graphic design * Birthday Invitation designs (selling as far as Cal-i-forn-i-a!) * Whipping up Cheesesteaks at a Cheesesteak Hut in close proximity to stinky men * Raising my babies * Cleaning condos for one day * Coffee Business slave * LLL Leader * Queen of the Café (that seated a whopping 8 people) * doula-in-training * writer * secretary
So, what you got?

ReplyDeleteHoly cow. My list would be much much shorter than that. Look at all the thinigs you've experienced :)
ReplyDeleteI have not near as interesting list as yours....I love the shark feeder and funeral home secretary. Those had to be very interesting!
