Day 55 (Take This Job and Shove It Week)

Oshawa Public Library. I worked there 4 years part time while I was attending high school.

BEST JOB I EVER HAD! (other than my current one!)

Day 54 (Take This Job and Shove It Week)

Receptionist. My main responsibility was to answer the phone and give directions to get to the office. I was from out of town and  had no idea of describing how to get there. I would have to interrupt the other staff to ask directions. They drew me maps, I still had to ask for directions.

Come to think of it I never received a mug with jelly beans and a small stuffed animal wearing a t-shirt that says You're #1 ... not even on secretary's day.

Day 53 (Take This Job and Shove It Week)

I worked in a bakery and got to be around the smell of baking bread.... Yum right? The only down side was that my apartment at the time was located above another bakery... there was no escape from the smell though delicious it was . Maybe that's when I started having problems tolerating wheat ;).

And no my uniform wasn't as cute as this one.

Day 52 (Take This Job and Shove It Week)

I have been dreading the day that I might be sick and how I will go about this project.

Well today was the day.

I have what I think is the flu... I just feel horrible.

On the upside I learned that I can throw around a couple of stitches sick in bed.

So here it is ...my job as a camp councellor at Camp Can-Do.



                                                   I know, the irony is killing me too.

Best,
Lucky

Day 51 (Take This Job and Shove It Week)

Bar Wench.

I worked at an Irish pub for 2 years. The owner likened himself as a Rod Stewart doppelganger. It was mandatory that after our shift was over (about 2 am when we were all totally exhausted) the barmaids and servers were to play audience to him singing Karaoke to Rod's greatest hits.

Day 50 (Take This Job and Shove It Week)

I worked as a waitress for a long time. Most stressful job I have ever had. I still have nightmares.

One dreamy thing about my stint in the restaurant industry? I got to work with this really cute guy and flirt all day when we had the same shifts.

20 years later and I am married to the cute cook.

Day 49 (Take This Job and Shove It Week)

Before I stabbed fabric on a daily basis I had some other jobs. This week is dedicated to them.

I once (for 8 years) peddled sofas and chaise lounge chairs.
