Bloggity Summer Camp: Work Work Work

Good Afternoon Humble Readers...

Well, I knocked out a huge portion of my to-do list, and even managed to give the baby girl a bath and managed to shave my legs!  Woohoo!  I'm stealing a bit of time this afternoon, because I won't be at home later this evening to write my post... NKOTBSB here we come!  (My Beloved gets the award for best hubby of the year, just for going to this concert with me!!)

Today at Bloggity Summer Camp, Calliope the Camp Director has asked, "Tell us about the best job you ever had, and the worst. Do you ever blog or read blogs while at work? Do you ever quote or reference blogs while at work?"

Hmmmm.... best job?  Honestly, the job I loved the most wasn't very glamorous.  But I truly enjoyed the work and the people I got to interact with.  When I was in college, I found it easier to stay in Seattle at the school during the summer breaks, and work on campus.  I did a lot of different jobs... housekeeping, conference services, bulk mailings, the bookstore, and, best of all, the front desk.  I loved the front desk. 

Answering phones, checking in conference guests, data entry, giving out general information and directions... I know it sounds boring as all get out, but I really enjoyed it.  I got to meet a lot of really cool people (including a whole bunch of the Sisters of Providence who had originally owned the campus), and in down times I could read or cross stitch or just talk to whoever was around.  I really enjoyed that job.  It was so low key, but I still felt that I was doing something worthwhile. 

Worst job?  Oh there have been a few... telemarketing, working in a cedar nursery trimming dead-wood off trees, cherry picking, being Clarkie the Bear for birthday parties and special events at the restaurant where my bio-mom worked.

I will confess that I did, occasionally, at my last job check blogs... normally when I was waiting for a piece of big news from one of my bloggy friends.  As to quoting or referencing... maybe a little.  I would sometimes share the stories of my bloggy friends with some of my co-workers.
