And I am still a grocery store bakery clerk. On the bright side, I get to eat cake and cookies whenever they bake funny or go bad ^^

*groans* Ha ha ^^

They usually look funny, like chocolate chip cookie puddles, broken tarts and cakes and 'sploded loaves of bread. Which could make me wonder why we're munching on 'em when their apparently not good enough for public consumption O.o

I'm a concessions worker at a theater. I'm soon to be a librarian as well though. Free movies, free books with less effort.
"So David said to Michal, "It was before the LORD, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the LORD. And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor."

2 Samuel 6: 21&22



"I am going to take this bucket of water and pour it on the flames of hell, and then I am going to use this torch to burn down the gates of paradise so that people will not love God for want of heaven or fear of hell, but because He is God."

Ok,I'll be serious,I help out at the ranch working in the garden and doing the lawn
and I used to help with bucking the hay until my uncle got a machine that picks it up wherever it lies(and everyone who has done it knows how relieved it is to get something else to do that job).I also help out at the library on Mondays(don't get paid though)and in late Summer into just about the time the snow comes I help get the wood in.Really a lot of manual type of stuff.

This summer, I am a front desk clerk at a vacation resort in the Black Hills of South Dakota, five miles from Mt. Rushmore. Fun! I love working with tourists. And this job is much better for me than the waitressing I did last summer in the Hills (less risk of injury to this uber-klutz).

During school, I am a work-study at a student-loan servicer. I answer people's questions about student loans, make individualized packets for graduates, and answer other questions like 'where is the men's room?' or 'where is room 106e?' (most asked question, the room is impossible to find if you don't know where it is).

I also do an Independent Study at school, working on a project for a professor to document historical farm and ranch buildings in the valley my college is in. I get to run around farms and measure old barns and such and then draw them. I still have about 39 drawings to do over the summer. I don't get paid for this yet, but we may get a grant to get paid to do this project.

I work at the front end of one of our local grocery stores. Sometimes I will be off the till helping customers out with their groceries and doing other odd jobs like bring carts inside and put baskets away (courtesy clerk), but much of the time one can find me on till ringing orders through (cashier). Ten years coming up this August! ^_^

I am a county government employee. A supply clerk in the public works garage.
After work I am a volunteer firefighter-emt.
When I retire I will get retirement money combined from being both a supply clerk(30 years) and a volunteer firefighter (25 years plus).
But I will be hoping to be working another job after I retire until required retirement age.
