Question of the Day #105

Lately, I've heard a lot of people say, "I'll take any job. It doesn't matter what it is." Which got me thinking about the weird jobs I've had in the past. I've:

1. Shampooed heads
2. Delivered flowers
3. Slung pizzas
4. Made sandwiches in a deli (Mmm...delicious Jersey subs)
5. Sold bonsai trees
6. Been a production assistant
7. Assisted an idiot
8. Written freelance articles for teen magazines
9. Written training materials for a Fortune 500 company
10. Done errands for other people

What are some weird (or not so weird) jobs you've had?

xoxo,
Suzanne

    LOL! Yes, you've have heard of tree planters, tree growers, and tree huggers...but tree pullers!? heehee...I was the lucky person that in the height of blackfly season, got to pull seedlings out of the ground and bundle them in preparation for replanting. The trees were always coniferous which meant my arms got picked to death by needles, resulting in huge rashes. To add insult to injury, I got paid by the number of trees pulled. :P
