Four Things About Me:

Jobs I've Had

1. Server at an in-house Wedding/Formal Events hall

(i lasted one night b/c the toilets flushed by themselves and the other workers said the old mansion hall had ghosts)

2. Summer High School Aide

(I remember sitting at a staff mtg and when it was announced that I was heading to college in the fall, the principal told me, "oh you'll probably get pregnant and drop out the second year." Got a quick lesson about what he thought of this little brown girl with high expectations. I'm so upset I was too young to have had a quick and witty comeback to put him in his place.)

3. Front Desk Clerk at at hotel in a remote non-residential location

(I was humored by all the "cheating couples" that used to come in for one night and looked so guilty while still trying to appear incognito. LOL!)

4. Drug Store Clerk

(There is a reason why one shouldn't take explicit photos and take them to get developed at off site drug stores: Nosy teenagers! A classmate came by looking all guilty asking for his pics one day. They weren't in then. A coupla days later, when the pics did come in, but before he came back, I peeped the classmate's photos and saw an eyeful of him and his girlfriend doing all sorts of naughty things. very bad of me, huh? but what would one expect from a whacky kid?)
