In reply to Vidya Sury. I also never have to worry about paying taxes on the hugs and love, but it is still a very taxing job.

Those jobs are different! I can’t think of anything unusual that I have done other than the home jig.

Your jobs–So interesting! Some of my jobs include hawking Godiva chocolate at a mall, “modeling” in stirrups (the kind we all hate, and I”m not talking clothing) for five hours during a Kimberly Clarke photo shoot, and cleaning hospital rooms on a “terminally ill floor.” Loved your frags this week 🙂

In reply to Eva Gallant.

I had a vacuum cleaner salesman once who wiggled his way INTO my entry hall because there was an AWFUL snow storm going on and he had a young lad with him (10 or so) for whom I had pity.

First thing he did was hand me a can of room freshener as a “gift.”

When he realized I was NOT going to let him do a demo, he actually took the air freshener back.

I kid you NOT.

By the time we got married at the end of our jr year in college, Fisherhubby had already had 26 different jobs, including one stint as a C & W DJ.

Whew – – – glad he hasn’t skipped around like that SINCE we got married.

I worked the drive thru at Carl’s Jr, back when you actually had to count and make change in your head. Gone are the good ole’ days.

I worked for Wendy’s in my college days. That may not sound weird, bu my specific task was to chop lettuce for the salad bar, which they had inside Wendy’s a long time ago. I would cut lettuce for 3 or 4 hours at one stretch.

Definitely, nothing I learned in school prepared me to be a mom… Best job around, even if the hours and pay are horrible 🙂

I was bugs bunny, Sylvester and Taz at MGA, cleaned cages and exam rooms at a veterinary clinic (and put dead dogs in the freezer), helped people put on and take off their clothes and makeup really fast (yes, a dresser at San Jose Rep), was mascot for the Oakland Invaders (USFL), bathroom attendant and others. I’m sure other people might consider some of my other jobs weird too, but I suppose it is all in your perspective. They certainly gave me some important things for motherhood: a sense of humor and an appreciation for the absurd. Also, the cage-cleaning gig …. priceless. Poopy butts don’t bother me. You are right though, college doesn’t teach you some of the more important skills for parenting, though all the all-nighters I pulled did help prepare me for the sleepless nights , plus I had plenty of opportunities to learn creative budgeting, so perhaps I did learn some mothering skills after all?

*** Who knew I would graduate summa cum laude from college and end up wiping butts, feeding, doing laundry, and being in charge of keeping two small lovable tyrants alive?***

Hey Claudya! Weird jobs? Honestly? None. The only one I truly hated was delivering newspapers as a teen. I guess I’ve been lucky! Indigo x

First off, I LOVED the unknown comic on TV….so your profile image is super cool.

Also, being a full-time mom now is just the beginning [there is no degree for this]…once a mom always a mom….no matter what age. And the concern and worry doesn’t stop after they’re adults. My youngest is 40 now, and I still like to know he’s doing okay.

Loved your odd jobs, and really can’t think of any that I’ve had. I went from head receptionist to retired head receptionist. Different offices, but still….

Oh, and I was quite proficient at wiping butts…the worst was cleaning up el vomito!!!
