jobs i’ve had

i was tagged by scott for a list of jobs i’ve had in my life. i noticed that scott used dates, but there is no way i have that information easily accessible. not all of these are on my resume. in addition, many times i would work two jobs at a time sometimes three.

• Yard trash picker-upper (about 7-ish, i started young.)

• Freelance dog pen cleaner/Pet Sitting

• Paper route girl

• Babysitting (one of my regular customers were members of the motorcycle gang– the outlaws–never a dull moment in our hood.)

• Washing dishes in a greek restaurant (don’t trust old-school greek men that like to sneak up on you in the freezer.)

• Cleaned hotel rooms part time while living with my biological father

• Right out of high school, my best friend at the time had a boyfriend that was a carpet and vinyl contractor. I spent a summer working for him, learning how to lay carpet and vinyl flooring.

• Stocking shelves at a chain department store that was named Gold Circle. Today, it is known as Target.

• Worked in the pet department of that same Gold Circle. Stocked shelves during the day, sold animals at night.

• Part time job cleaning offices after hours.

• Waitress/Hostess for Shoney’s Restaurant.

• Worked in the shoe department at another chain store that is now closed, Upton’s.

• Waited tables at a nice restaurant in downtown Charlotte.

• Sales floor for a full service pet store.

• Front Office Cashier for a closed construction supply store, Moore’s Building Materials.

The following were all with the same company over a span of 17 years. I did leave for a period of time to go back to school.

can spammers surgically implant?

for most of this week, the spam on this blog that wordpress catches for me is about dentists and insurance.

i haven’t emailed or posted about it, and none of the comments have discussed anything dental.

how does it know that i’ve been to our dentist twice this week and my husband once?

i think those fuckers must be watching me.

p.s. i am working on the “jobs i’ve had” tag (in my private science lab) and that is harder than i thought. there’s a lot of jobs that i’ve had.
