meme?

so, beth has tagged me for a meme. that means i have to answer some questions and pass them on. sorry guys--i'm totally new to blogging and i only know beth and trinity on blogger, so i guess this stops with me!

4 jobs i've had:

1. sorter in a factory--yes, it's true, and being from ohio factory work isn't all that uncommon. i worked for konica, in a photo finishing factory. i got to smell nasty chemicals and work the overnight shift. you see, when you used to take your film for overnight developing, it went somewhere like this. so i worked from 5:30pm until about 4am, or until the sorting was done. i was the front line of the factory. the film came in and i sorted it into the correct bins: 3" singles, 3" doubles, 4" singles, 4" doubles... i think you got it...

2. chef's assistant at a sorority house--this was one of my jobs in college. i worked for AGD (alpha gamma delta) and made all their dinner dreams come true. these girls had a chef and then me, who assisted the chef, put all the dishes out on the buffet, set the tables, and then cleaned up after them. in general, the girls were snots but i got paid $11/hour and got to eat dinner with them for free.

3. esl teacher--i did this in college when i lived abroad, and then again for my first job out of college. it was fun to teach english to people who wanted to learn and i had a great time and in general great students. unfortunately, it's pretty seasonal work and paid less than my chef's assistant job mentioned above!

4. librarian--my current profession and one that i love dearly. i used to work at a 200-year-old library and art gallery, and now i work at the savannah college of art and design. i help people do research and find the resources they need. it's fun. i do little treasure hunts everyday.

4. my husband's crepes :)
