Four Things Meme
I have been "tagged", apparently, and although this is not the sort of thing I normally do here, I thought, well, what the heck.
Four Jobs I've Had
1. Cashier: I was the cashier at Long John Silver's for a year in high school. My tag said "Seaman Apprentice". Guess what got old faster than that job?
2. Herb/Vitamin salesperson: I started as a cashier at Nature's Harvest in Tampa, Florida and then moved up to this job. I learned a lot about vitamins and supplements and herbs and enjoyed this job except for some strange customers and dismal hours.
3. Lab Assistant: I worked in a molecular biology (botany) lab during and after working there as the dishwasher (Hey, I was a dishwasher in a restaurant, too, but that was totally different. They didn't have autoclaves.) It was really interesting, but I don't think I was very good at it. I loved the people I worked with though, and I met my husband that way.
4. Cook/Assistant Innkeeper: I was the "chef" at a bed and breakfast inn (there were 11 rooms, so it was big for a B&B, but small for an inn ...). I was the only cook there (except on my days off) but I got to design the menus, keep inventory, make some lunches and a couple of dinners (those were my favorite). I enjoyed cooking there a lot, and I also enjoyed working behind the innkeeper desk. 99% of our guests were really pleasant and interesting. I had fabulous bosses, as well. I only left to bear and care for an infant! That is a good job, too.

Hey! Watch it! One of those "crazy boys" was my husband! (:
No, no ... I mean *really* crazy. Scaring the other employees by throwing things around when I quit work crazy (this particular person worked there ... briefly).
I remember your dh came in with some guy who did ask me out--and which ended up being a flop of a date, sadly. I am so thrilled my dating days are over. I did very much like some of your dh's friends, though, didn't I? ;)
And not to make it sound like I had them banging at the door, because that was most certainly not the case. Usually. Unless they were, for lack of a better word, "crazy". I don't really mean "crazy". I guess I mean "too focused". Intense. You know.
Oh, he's crazy. Really crazy. But I love him. And if high school was anything like college, you did have them banging at the door, buddy. I remember your entourage! Yes, it is good for dating to be over. I cannot imagine enjoying it even a little at my age...I am becoming an old fogey.
Entourage? Moi? I am thinking that you are remembering some other roommate, my friend.
I am also an old fogey and proud of my foginess. Now if I only had some grey hair. Just a bit, mind you.
