Michelle tagged me to try this meme out, and it looked fun so here goes:
4 jobs I've had in my life
Secretary - This was a really neat job. I was in a cubicle setting near the exectuive offices of an insurance company and I was the only secretary there who knew MS Word. So I did a lot of the other girls' work as well!
Electronics Boutique salesperson - What more could a geek want than selling games at EB?! Not only did I get to play games for free and bring them home, but I got the first pick of new games when they came in. Sadly, I wasn't much of a console game player back then, so I didn't appreciate all the fun stuff out.
Nuclear Power Plant intern - Like Homer Simpson, I got to go around the nuclear plant and help the computer people with radiation monitoring equipment.A lot of times I was in a nice office and working on entering stuff in a database. The best parts were getting to go around in the radiation zones and see stuff like the glowing blue rods underwater. Yeah, don't stand too close to those.
Day Care center custodian - I did yardwork and groundskeeping with a high school friend at a day care center. It was crazy fun and the boss was a bit of a tightwad though. For some reason we had to go in and clean HIS house every Saturday. I was only 16 and didn't know that it was probably against the law. I felt like an indentured servant :P
4 places I've lived
Sterling, Illinois - Where I was born!
Phoenix, Arizona - Where I lived much of my life when I was younger
Fort Meade, Maryland - Where I trained in the Army as a Public Affairs person for several months

Pittsburgh misses you, too, Colleeny! Have no doubt!!! Oh so very very, very much!
LOL I forgot that you worked at EB too! I still miss it sometimes. It was probably my favorite job so far in my life.
And I'm sure you were a wonderful secretary, although being the most beautiful librarian in the world seems like the perfect fit for you!
As for the day care boss, he seems a bit shady. He didn't have you doing his laundry or giving sponge-baths, did he!?!
Yeah, your computers were a little older than mine...I can only go back as far as a 286 in 1990....I was what, nine? Ten? ^_~
Glowing blue rods underwater? That's so effing cool! I wanna see!
There have been persistent rumors that Quentin Tarrantino is going to combine the Kill Bill movies into one long director's cut for video someday. I hope he does - that would be a cool movie to watch. There was so much cut out of both movies (including a fight scene in flashback with Michael Jai White that eliminated his character completely) that I hope he is able to show someday.
Germans are friendly?!? Never heard that one...
Yes! Kill Bill rocks. Hope you're well... :)
