Tuesday was my final day at work - I have been working the past 2 years for my bro-in-law, Bart (that's Dr. Bart, DDS you anti-dentite b@$t@rd (Seinfeld reference)). I LOVED this job. It is definitely numero uno on my, well, very lengthy list of jobs...which is what I was thinking about when I started this post. I thought back to all of the jobs I've had since I was about 13...
1) The Lovell Chronicle - Let's not lie. Not a fun job. But definitely fun to hang out with friends while sort-of working. 5-6 years.
2) Lifeguard at Lovell Rec - I love you, Gail! I loved being a lifeguard, even though I have the attention span of a 2 year old. I think this job may have helped me to focus, somewhat. 4 years.
3) Recycling Center - UW Recycling - Worst job ever. 'Nuff said. Actually, this is the only job I've ever almost been fired from. My boss was going through a rough time and accused me of stealing recycling signs. Really. What the crap am I going to do with signs that say paper and plastic? 5 months. 5 months too long.
4) Coe Library - Acquisitions - I had a great boss that laughed at me when she found me sleeping sitting up (give me a break - I had just left my night job 11-7am shift from another job - sheesh). 3 years.
5) Motel 8 - Not a nice motel, but cheap. I worked the midnight shift and definitely got a lot of crazies. I also got to sleep since not a whole lot happened...for real. They told me I could. Summer job - 3 months.
6) Coe Library - Processing - I followed my boss across the hall when she took another job at the library. Had some awesome co-workers!
7) UW Fieldhouse - Circuit training - I took people through a circuit training program - lifting weights and such. Worked with Melissa. Lots 'o fun. 1 or 2 years-ish.
8) Walmart - I seem to remember most of Lovell working at the Laramie Walmart when I was there. I was a checker for 6 months. A lady yelled at me and called me an effing moron. Not nice.
9) PhoneBase Research - Yes. I called people at their homes. I asked them to take surveys. I hated myself. 3 months.
10) Mary Kary - Hee. Yes, I attempted to sell Mary Kay...I felt bad that the prices were so high, and offered the product at 1/2 price. Obviously I didn't make any money. I am not a saleswoman. 3 months.
11) Boys & Girls Club of Park County - Learned a lot. Can't stand kids (well, 80 kids all at once, that is...) Summer job, 3 months.
12) Gem City Bone & Joint, Medical Records - I filed papers and charts. Lots of busy work, but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. 2 years.
13) Gem City Bone & Joint, Physical Therapy Aide - I took people through exercises. I liked it, except for the time the therapist played a dirty joke on me and had me hand-wash one of her patient's feet (completely nasty, rancid, sickening, smelly feet)...
14) Waitress at Village Inn - Not that I don't love old people, but $0.25 is not a good tip. 6 months.
15) Denver Physical Therapy, Physical Therapy Aide - Loved, loved, loved this job! I loved the therapists I worked for - they cracked me up and I still go and visit all of them to this day. They never made me wash anyone's feet. 2 years.
16) Douglas Co. School District, Speech Pathology Assistant - They failed to mention I didn't get any benefits with this job. I actually really enjoyed it (except for the little boy that poo-ed his pants every day), but couldn't afford it. 2 months.
17) Denver Physical Therapy, Administrative Assistant (fancy schmancy name for secretary) - They hired me back for a different position. Like I said, they rocked.
18) Bart Christiansen, DDS, Dental Assistant - I found I actually DO like sucking up spit. The only thing that bothers me are lugies...sick. Makes me want to vomit. 2 years.
Um. Wow. I knew it would be long, but I actually didn't know how long until just now. As you can see, I am a very "well-rounded" individual. Or something. Seriously, who has had 18 jobs by the time they are 27? Me, that's who. Perhaps I shouldn't post this for fear of future employers discovering my secrets... ;) I'm excited to finally take a small break once we move to Lovell, although I know I will get bored fairly quickly since I'm used to having 2 or 3 jobs at a time. However, I am planning on teaching yoga a couple days a week, so spread the word!
*I tag anyone who wants to list their jobs! See if you can outnumber me...
