Thirteen Jobs I've Had

Thirteen Edgy Jobs I've Had Pizza call girl (that is the girl you call to order pizza...in case you weren't sure) Early morning custodian 5-9 am. I once polished the finish off a set of doorknobs because I didn't notice the labels. I said--it's 5 in the morning!!! That's the risk you take!!! Pants presser at a dry cleaner. This did not last long. I now have a palpable hatred for pleated pants and ironing. Ice cream server. Built great forearm muscles and learned valuable lessons about the freezing points of common add-ins (i.e. gummy bears freeze easily, becoming rock-hard little death-jellies that break blender blades) Ticket Seller. Talk to interesting people from all over the world and sell them tickets for events you will never have enough money to attend yourself. Copy editor. Sounds dull, but I enjoyed it, and I got to set my own hours! Grader. Family history writer. A much more entertaining job when there is polygamy involved. Office manager for a midwifery service. This involves keeping on-call midwives on an appointment schedule, making lots of copies and answering questions like, "My baby's bellybutton is oozing some green stuff. Do I need to do anything about that?" (yes, call your pediatrician) and "Can I get pregnant while nursing?" (technically yes, but it's easier if you put the babe down for a nap first). 11. 12. & 13. MOM! This includes: landlord, milk cow, snuggler, language specialist, ethics professor, chauffer, chef, cultural liason, personal coach, reading teacher, housekeeper, research assistant, personal shopper, yoga instructor, psychologist, laundress, and general manager of the family. So, ya...it gets 4 spots. It's also my favorite so far. Most days... Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1. (leave your link in comments, I’ll add you here!)
