Body	Some people have called me the Queen of Careers! That's right I lost count somewhere after 70 jobs! I have a list somewhere, every now and then when I am looking for a flashlight or a battery, I run across it and add the new jobs I have had since the last time I found the list. Currently I am the Embroidery Lady. Today I spent most of day sticking my hand down men's pants. I work with a machine that has four heads with 9 needles on each head. This machine sounds like a train clicky clacking down the tracks, it vibrates and goes up and down and in and out and back forth...My job is to watch the magic of thread becoming one with the fabric and creating a design. I watch, I pace, I pace I watch...I work in near isolation, so to cure that I buy candy...hehe At least then once in awhile a co-worker will stop by to get a treat...However they tend to sneak up on me to see if they can make me Jump...Damn it works every time too! I am currently planning a secret revenge to get them all back for that! This job is so different than a previous gig of being a children's photographer! Pooh bear used to be a part of my daily attire. I even went to lunch a few times with pooh under my arm. One day I couldn't sell a charm at all!  Those are the tiny tiny pics, sold for pure profit...I went to lunch and had a hot dog. After lunch I sold charms to every customer...I was HOT..I thought man I am eating hot dogs for lunch every day! No one said NO! They smiled more than usual and I smiled back.  Well I got home and went to the bathroom, looked in the mirror.....OMG there it was...mustard! Not just a tad either! I big old line of mustard above my lip. No one said SHIT! It had been there since lunch! Oh well I sold a crap load of charms...lol  Most of the time I spent 8 hours a day making 2 yrs old snot nosed kids laugh. By the end of the day all I could say was, boo boo, goo goo blah blah getchie getchie goo, la la..waa waa nana boo boo...I remember telling Moms, yes the red eyes and running nose Will show up in the picture! They would say, "Oh I know my child is sick and running a fever but they turned two today!"...Ok and they arent gonna be two next week??? One kid even puked on my foot! Then you had the people that would actually drive in a blizzard to get pictures taken, it always amazed me. The kids were actually great!!! It was the parents I could have done without! One Christmas I finally had all I could take and totally ass lost it! Some lady was trying to get some pictures for free because they didnt come in on time, then someone else chimed in and more and more and then people started fighting each other in the waiting area! OMG it was a total nightmare! I screamed at them and said just take all fucking pictures for free! OOPS! I was kindly escorted out of Sears...yes actually banned from Sears...rofl I didn't get fired though. I just couldn't work in that particular store. The bartender gig was fun! Hey I got paid to go out and I got to be the star at the same time...hehe Usually I worked in those Hole in wall bars, so I was the entertainment. I never had to clean up puke either! Someone was always drunk enough to clean that up for a free drink. ;) I will never forget the guy that drank the leftovers...ewwwww I even danced with a bucket on my head once. Great tip night...lol (yes I have pictures to prove it) of the bucket not the money. I am currently trying to figure out what to be next. If you have any suggestions leave them in comments. This is a small list of what I have already been ( cashier, secretary, cook, laundry aide, copy girl, waitress, cocktail waitress, refrigerator assembler, vending machine filler, sewing factory worker, cop helmet maker, taco bell, Hardees, Arbys, rubber stamp associate, gas station attendant, babysitter, bank receptionist, office assistant, weeded bean fields, shipping and receiving clerk, film printer, photographer, manager, dude ranch worker, casino worker, convenient store worker at Woody's, packaged foods worker, sub/pizza shop worker, transcription typer, solid gold dancer( well for one nite) lol..... Since this post I've also worked as a Controller, Office Manager, grocery store clerk, office temp,& Asst. General Manger of a Hotel. I haven't been able to work at all this past year due to chronic pain and some other things. One of these days maybe the doctor's will figure out what is going on and fix me!
