My Resume

So as I was reading Laura's blog and thinking about my current job search, I thought of all the different things I've done. And looking back, I wish there was something like sushi chef on an Alaskan cruise ship.
My first job was when I was eight or nine and our neighbor across the street asked me to watch her baby for 10 minutes while she ran to another neighbor's house. Her other son ends up distracting me and the baby rolls off the couch. This was the beginning of a blossoming babysitting career.
While I carried on with babysitting on into my college years, I also had the opportunity to be a scorekeeper. That was actually a fun job. My dad was in the navy and I ended up getting a job scorekeeping the military intramural teams. I watched basketball, volleyball, hockey, softball, soccer, and probably something else.
Well then , my dad retired from the navy and we moved to Missouri. Job opportunities kind of decreased. But I did manage to find a doozy the summer after I graduated high school; census enumerator. I went around in my Volkswagen Vanagon finding people (or not finding them as was the case) and making them fill out the 2000 census information. It was some fun times. I even got bit by this huge dalmation that broke his chain to chase me down. Yeah....
Well, I started college and worked at minimum wage as a library monitor, math tutor, physics tutor, language lab specialist. Throughout college I pretty much kept 2 or 3 part time jobs. I even worked at McDonalds for two years. Fast food is definitely a way to gain weight and lose sanity. :) I also served in the AmeriCorps during college. It's like the domestic Peace Corps. I worked at Ruby Tuesdays for a summer. Oh, and I graded standardized tests the summer before my mission. There are other various jobs that I can't remember, but all were fairly similar.
My last job was teaching at a high school. That definitely had its ups and downs. And sometimes I wonder if I'm crazy to try and do it again. I want to do something I love, but I'm not 100% sure this is it, but I hope so.

Victim of Internet Quizzes

I have become a victim of internet quizzes. I admit it. I take really uninteresting, time-consuming internet quizzes. Does anybody know emode.com? I must have taken about 200 quizzes on that site. Now I'm on facebook where they make even more ridiculous quizzes that don't even make sense. I don't understand my fascination. It's like I have some secret belief that somehow the results of that quiz will help me to understand the wonderfully unique person that I am.
