    My favorite job was a staff writer at the Hartford Courant. I had my own "Pet of the Week" column. Then I made the absolute dumb mistake of pulling up stakes, quitting my wonderful job figuring I'd easily find a writing position in Michigan. WRONG!!!

    Three long years later, I came back to my roots, unemployed. I have been happier ever since.

    Singing telegrams?! How cool!!

    Well...I've only had two.

    Last summer I worked at a Miniature Golf place. It was fun, I learned how to juggle (because it was dead all the time there), I worked with a few friends from high school, got to see people that I knew all the time...but it was so boring. Not to mention I wanted to work outside (mowing lawns, picking up golf balls, etc) but I was born the wrong gender apparently and girls can only work inside. Load of crap.

    This summer I'm working at a small local grocery store as a cashier. Its fun because the people I work with are hilarious and we get a lot of regular customers so I know a lot of them by name.

    Soo not too much experience in the job world, but all I have to say is that I'd never want to do either of them longer than a summer's worth There are people at the grocery store who have been there for 10+ years and I could not imagine doing that, they hate their job and come in everyday with a bad attitude. I told one of my coworkers that I actually liked working there because it gave me something to do and she said I had issues

    During school I worked as a Professor Assistant. I actually got to "teach" my own visual basic (computer programming) course because the prof. I worked for was LAZY (I made up the assignments as we went, kept track of grades and attendence, helped out during class, etc). But I had a GREAT time and made a ton of new friends. It actually kind of made me want to teach for a living, haha.

    My favorite job is being a Dog Trainer! I run my own company though I'm only teaching one class a week and private sessions now.. I'm still taking it slow. I want to do it right and build up a good rep. After I work on my credit a bit more and take a few more courses/seminars, I'd like to eventually open a doggy daycare and run classes in the evening.

    My day job right now isn't too shabby either.. I scan documents all day while watching stuff on my iPod. :P

    In 1982, after my sophomore year at Clemson University, I spent a summer in Florida going through the Magic Kingdom College Program at Disney World. My "paying" job was as a bus driver on the property, taking people from their hotels to the entrance of Disney and driving employees from the parking lot to the entrance of "the tunnel" where they went to work. I absolutely loved it!!!

    My current job is my favorite. I work at a coffee shop, I love my customer and my coworkers. Everyday is a fun day at work (ok sometimes I do have a bad day). Part of what makes it fun is that I love the company I work for, I'm treated with respect. My bosses are also fantanstic and I feel like they really value me and I can talk to them about any problem I'm having. I think when an employee is treated with respect it really shows in their work. Plus who wouldn't want to spend there day chatting with all kinds of different people! I get regulars who come in more than once a day, and I meet lots of new people every time I work.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!
