Jobs - Four

During my children's younger years, from time to time I would help at a local nursing home.  My mom and a couple of siblings worked there.  When my siblings would have conflicts with their school activities, I would work for them.  The work wasn't too hard, it mostly involved doing dishes.  I was glad that I didn't have to work full time.
The summer before our youngest started the first grade, while sitting at my husband's softball game, one of the ladies sitting in the stands asked me if I had a job.  When I stated that I did not, she asked me to come to her place of employment and take a test to see if I would qualify to work there.  So, I went in and sure enough I started to work for the local license bureau.  One of the funniest things that ever happened to me there was when a customer came in, and in the middle of me taking his information, he looked at me and asked if I had taken a questioner to work there.  Thinking of the test, I answered "yes".   He said that I could not have answered the questions correctly.  I became alarmed and thought that I was doing something wrong, but he quickly said that when I came to the question that asked if I was a bitch I would have had to answered "NO" and he knew for a fact that they only hired bitches to work in that office.  I thought that it was one of the best compliments that anyone could have given to me.  I only worked in this office for nine months.  Trust me when I said it was like going to a live soap opera everyday.  There was way too much drama for me!
Over the next few years, I worked part time for the local nursing home again and for our local middle school as an aide.  Both of these jobs were very rewarding as I got to work with the elderly and the young.
Believe it or not, I am almost done with my job resume.  I should be able to finish on the next post.  Until then, I pray that all are healthy and enjoying life to the fullest!
