I've had a lot of jobs...

Day 12: Worst job you've ever had.

 

I've had several questionable jobs... I'm probably about to sound like a stuck up brat but whatever, the question was asked. First off I have to be kinda honest here... I have had a lot of different jobs in my life. I counted one time a few years ago and the number was over 15 different ones. I have no idea why; I just got bored when I was younger and decided to do a lot of different things. Let me count which ones I can remember... let's start at the beginning:

1. Boteler's Decorative Concrete - My families business that I always worked at from the time I was born until they sold it when I was 18.
2. El Dorado Steak House - That one sucked I was a 15 year old bus girl.
3. Mi Casita - A 15 year old waitress at the dumbest Mexican restaurant in town.
4. A Party store I can't remember the name of that lasted 2 days.
5. McAlisters Deli - That was a fun job for a teenager & I met my best friend there.
6. Dominoes Pizza- ONE OF THE WORST I worked there for 1 shift. Couldn't even handle the weird people OR the fact that I would have gained 700lbs from eating all the free pizza. This one was for my health people...I just couldn't do it!
7. Nagoya - A yummy sushi bar that was also pretty fun to work at.
8. USM Dorms - checking in guests at the girls dorm
9. Diffata's market - ONE OF THE WORST. The owner was a train wreck and I remember missing a spring break trip because I had to work and then I ended up quitting 2 weeks later.
10. Bath and Body Works - I loved this one... such a fun place to work. Except the floor sets, I hated doing those AND all the damn boxes. I'd get so many paper cuts.
11. Cracker Barrel- this was a pretty bad one too. The main reason I hated it was due to the uniforms. I felt so damn ugly in a mans button down, khakis, Timberland boots, and a brown apron that all I wanted to do was hide.
12. The Popcorn Place - I helped out one Christmas at Chad's Grandparents place... that was a really fun time and I'm so happy I got to experience it before they closed it down the next year.
13. BancorpSouth- ONE OF THE WORST jobs due to the management I had at my particular spot. The boss was an emotional, jealous, crazy train wreck and I was not dealing with that crap. Also, I was in school full time and just couldn't do the full time working too.
14. The Computer Labs at USM - So fun... loved all my University jobs.
15. Campus Operator at USM - Another really fun/easy school job with an amazing manager.
16. MDES - Unemployment Claims officer... My first post college "big girl" job. It was a great experience and I worked there until I was transferred to a better/different job with another state agency that was closer to my apartment at the time.
17. MDES- WIN JOB CENTER MS Steps coordinator. I loved this job... I would have never left it but I was on a federal temporary program that didn't get extended and there weren't any other openings. I learned so much working there and it was one of the BEST experiences of my life.
18. Southern Beverage - Oh this job... it was fun and I worked with a few really great people. Then there were days I felt like I was in a mental institute dealing with dumb boys that thought just because I was a woman I was stupid. Oh, that place got my blood boiling sometimes.
19. Seattle Sun Tan - This was my first job that I got out of the blue right after we moved to Seattle. It was a lot of fun but it was when I was working there that I realized I'm way to old to be dealing with high school drama/crap. I had to get back into a career job that fed my interests and challenged me mentally.
20. PEI - Hands down the best job I have ever had! I am so happy and fulfilled with my current job that if I have it my way I will never leave. I wish everyone could be as happy with their jobs as I am now. It's out there people you obviously just have to have 19 other jobs before you find it. HA!



 

What is in there?!

Day 11: What’s in your purse.

As seen on Lulu's.com (no longer availible)

Make up bag, wallet, gloves, business cards, old plane & movie tickets, and some glow stick lights for your fingers. What... you never know when it's time for a dance party.

I think Pinterest actually got one right...

I'm on week 4 and I am just now starting to notice a difference. I can't wait to see what 4 more weeks of yoga, body works, swimming, and running can do for me. Eating is still a struggle. Basically I just suck at portion control and I want to eat like a sumo wrestler all the time but I'm doing a better.
My current favorite yoga pose:

The Happy Baby.

 

Do you like Yoga? What's your favorite pose?



Stress me Out why don't ya.

Day 10: Something that stresses you out.

 

I thought I'd try something new with this question so, I asked Chad to answer it for me (about what he thinks I stress about) and here is his answer:

 

1. When we don't have money.

2. When mom lives with us.

3. When people don't know what they are doing.

4. Missing Olive when we are out of town.

5. Haley's wedding.

6. Wondering if my friends/family are okay.

.....

 Well, I guess these are true if that's what the closest person in my life feels.

Now, I will explain a few of the above a little more in depth.

 

#1 is what it is. Who doesn't stress when they don't have money?

#2 was more so a stressful point in my life that has been long gone but was strictly due to a space issue. Mom is amazing - tiny apartments and 3 people not so much.

#3 I don't think I stress over this at all. It pisses me off not stresses, I think Chad just got confused ha.

#4 I don't stress over missing her I stress that at any moment she could die. She's evil and will run out of the door in a second if you let her...then I think Oh God she's going to run into the street and get hit by a car. It is completely insane of me for doing this but I do it every single time and I stress out until I get home to see her alive, well, and rotten.

#5 I stress myself out about this one. I'm sad I'm 2600 miles away and I can't be there for everything. I'm stressed about getting my fat ass in the bridesmaid dress and it's also just my usual wedding related stress outs. I think I just have PTSD from my own wedding two years ago.

#6 I do stress out about them when I know they are going through things. Family and friends mean the world to me; I wish them all the very best in life and I get very sad when their worlds aren't happy or going the way they want them to.

 

I hate being all negative on the blog!

Time for something funny:
