    Currently an "accountant" for a management company. I process financial reports for Homeowners Associations. Been in this job for 6 years now.

    Previous jobs inlcude:
    Child Day Care teacher for 12 years
    During high school I worked at pizza joints but never a waitress. I'd probably drop plates if I had to waitress.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
