Thursday Mish-Mash
I have been thinking lately of getting a job again and the thought scares me like the devil. You see, I have been an at-home mom now for around ten years and I love it. Who wouldn't? Well, some women might not like it, but anyway, I digress.

The last job I had was in the car leasing business and the one before that, a photography studio. I never was able to use my degree as it was TV and Film. By the time I graduated college, you see, everything was going digital and I was already obsolete. To be honest, I didn't really know what I wanted to be. I didn't have a "calling" in life. I've always been like that - a drifter.

Speaking of jobs, I've had a variety. I've worked in a library, a university video production office, Disney World (Haunted mansion and Great Movie Ride), Universal Studios (ET, Earthquake and Jaws rides), a couple of photography studios, etc... I was even a motel maid for a few weeks after I moved back to Florida. I can honestly tell ya'...that was an awful experience. I had planned on working for Disney again, but they turned me down as I had gained weight and, at that time, they didn't have costumes that went beyond a size 16 for women. I was an 18. I was humiliated by that supervisor. So, I left and eventually worked for Universal for a few years.

So what should I do now? Who knows.

I'm not going to be able to get my Masters degree for a long time. We just don't have the money right now. In the meantime, I'll just keep on typing away and using my imagination.

...and try to forget the ONE time I was actually fired from a job by a woman I thought was my friend and who had gone to my wedding and reception just months before and who accused me of doing a bad job when just weeks before had made me into a trainer and gave me good reviews...witch!

"I believe that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you can not baptize cats." - Larry the Cable Guy

A Tennessee man and an Alabama man were both fighting in a war and were captured by the enemy.
"Before we put you to death," said the enemy, "do you have any last requests?"
"Yes," said the Alabaman. "Could you play 'Yeah, Alabama' before you shoot me?"
"Sure," said the enemy. "How about you, Tennessean?"
"Could you shoot me before you play 'Yeah, Alabama?'"
