Life has a way of taking twists and turns like you would never expect. There was a point in my life where I swore that I would never have one of those job that required me to wear a shirt and tie. And today I realized that I wear one every day now. In fact I like it. How odd� When asked what I wanted for Christmas the first thing that came to mind was shirts and ties�oh and bookcases. Ugh�when did I start growing up? Today is looking pretty gloomy. Rain rain and more rain. But I am thankful that I have an indoor job these days. I remember back to when I had to work in this kind of weather. You would come home cold�all the way down to your bones. It was no fun at all�Have you ever had to work in the weather? If not�your lucky. Heh�kinda has me thinking of all the different types of jobs that I have held since I started working at 16. I have been a bagger, a cashier, a stocker, and a deli clerk at a grocery store. I have worked as a short order cook, a working chef, a waiter, as a bus boy, a prep cook, a butcher, and a manager at a restaurant. I have been a bus driver. I have worked in a textile factory as a Slasher. I have worked in a nursery (the kind that grows plants) as an order puller. I have worked as a shelver and an associate librarian in a library. I have done data entry. I worked as a carpenter�s assistant. I was a lab tech. I was a special Ed teacher, I have run a writing to read lab, I have been a teacher and a teacher�s assistant. I have been a girl�s volleyball coach. I have been a sheet metal hanger. I have been a bouncer at a club. I have been a children�s tour guide at Colonial Williamsburg, as well as a costumed employee there. I have been a baby sitter. I have been a landscaper. I have worked as an auto mechanic. I have worked as a technical outreach instructor for the community. I have worked at a wildlife rehabilitation center. I have worked at a day care center. Have I missed anything? Heh�I am sure I have� And now I am an Instructor working for a government contractor�and I wear a tie to work�every day. Hmm�who would have ever thought? Heh�and I am only 34�That is quite a list for 18 years� Pretty exciting really�but it leaves me wondering. What will the next 18 years have in store for me?
