Not Just Any Job

I have had my share of jobs. Nothing I wanted to keep as a career, but I needed the money. I have done fast-food, bookkeeping, alarm monitoring (yawn), receptionist & clerical work. One of my favorite’s was working for an answering service & towing dispatch. I am glad I moved on before technology eliminated it with the cell phone. And yes, I am that old.

I like the kind of work I do now. My position description is: “Senior Computer Support Technologist”. It is a Government job classification, so it doesn’t tell you anything. What I do is provide tech support for my organization, and outside users of our system. It’s a customer support job.

Most people would hate working in customer support. Having a job no one wants is nice. It keeps me from worrying about backstabbing bitches & getting laid off. But enough about my current job…

Top Ten Jobs I Would Leave Mine For:

Stephen King’s Assistant
Write a syndicated column for a major newspaper
Publish my novel(s) and hit the Best Seller’s List
Work for a Bernese Mountain Dog breeder as a “Puppy Entertainer”
Join the Blue Collar Comedy Tour
Stephen King’s Assistant (did I already say that?)
Professional Sleep Number Bed Tester (think of the naps!)
Guest appearance on Leverage
Cast in a movie with Sam Elliot
Work with the writers for The Late Show’s Top Ten List

P.S. Please don’t tell my boss!

Things People with Multiple Personalities Shouldn’t Do

Jodi (et,al.)
All of these persona’s blog here. If you have followed along for a while, you may have “met” most of them. They ALL have something to say. I keep a notebook to jot down ideas, research, topics & whatnot, some of the stuff in there amazes me, obviously written by one of us.

Bad Ideas if you have more than one personality:

Get a Tattoo.

Who would get to make that decision? No one wants to wake up and find someone elses tattoo on their body, so we are not going there.

Go to Las Vegas.

Not to mention any names, but one of us is a bit sleazy, one of us is a compulsive gambler, and who knows what kind of trouble the hard-ass would cause.

Get Married.

My poor husband. Every evening when he leaves work, he has no clue who he is coming home to. Sometimes he enjoys the variety, but mostly he is exhausted.

Work with Alzheimer’s patients.

Those poor souls have enough confusion in their lives. They certainly don’t need us.

Go anywhere without a GPS:

Not a single one of us has any sense of direction. I mean none… whatsoever

Have the combination to the gun safe:

The Government could learn from hubby and his boys about keeping top-secret information from getting into the wrong hands.

What The 49ers Should Be Thankful For

November 24, 2011 ~ JodiLea

Because today is Thanksgiving, I planned to write about gratitude and thankfulness. I have so many things – some big and some small, to be grateful for.

But enough about me.

I could not help my beloved 49ers because the Force was NOT with me tonight. Even though I was wearing my official 49ers 50th Anniversary jersey and gave myself a mother of a headache. Maybe because Baltimore is across the country. Maybe the Dark Side is stronger there.

In an effort to ease ~~their~~ our pain, let’s focus on what we should be thankful for this (football) season:

Alex Smith is alive to quarterback another game. Despite being sacked 11 times, grounded 8, and generally foiled at every turn.

Not one 49er got put on the injured list. A miracle considering the brutal intensity out there.

Our coach is better looking. And taller.

We are now 9 – 2. Yes, we should be thankful for that. We wanted to be 10 – 1 after tonight, but get over it. We are 9 frigging 2, people! Remember last season when we were 0 – 6? We would have gone over to the Dark Side to be 9 – 2 and you know it… 😉
