Putting My Jobs on the Line

I’ve been tagged for a jobs meme by my friend Scott. Here are the instructions:

It’s simple. Just list all the jobs you’ve had in your life, in order. …And when you’re done, tag another five bloggers you’re curious about.

I won’t promise this will be fascinating reading, but here goes. I’m including any job I got paid for and one I didn’t.

1. Bale turner.
2. Camp counselor.
3. Gas jockey/bookkeeper.
4. Mailing list updater.
5. Receptionist/switchboard operator.
6. Mother/keeper at home.
7. Retiree. Ever since my financial planner started putting “retired” as my occupation on the forms he fills out for me, I’ve been using doing the same.

If you want to play, consider yourself tagged.

Hey! I was once a receptionist/switchboard operater too! Worst job I ever had.

Yes, that job stunk. So did the mailing list updating. I wasn't very good at it—I wasn't fast enough, I made too many mistakes, and it was so boring I dozed off on the job a couple of times—but I was still better than most of the girls I worked with.
