Today i filled out one of those "getting to know you" surveys that my friends circulate every once in a while. This one was from one of my sisterwives. Ok, i'm a sucker for things they send me.
One of the inquiries was to list all of the jobs you've ever held. Now, i know i've done a lot in life so far, but mine was a decent length paragraph long! Which only made me realize that, while i've done many things, i consider myself 'great' at almost none of them, and only 'adequate' at others.
It's a sobering thought for someone who has considered themselves a "jack of all trades" for a long while, to see that they really do only one thing really well. i can honestly say that my "day job" now is the one thing at which i have always and will continue to excel. Good thing for my students, too!
For your viewing pleasure and amusement, and in no particular order, here's the list:
Floral designer, Hebrew tutor, babysitter, Teacher's aide, Preschool Director, Parenting class/Childcare center liaison, Tour Guide (NY), Tour Manager (UK), Retail sales (giftware, leather goods, clothes), Theater manager, Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah Instructor, Cantorial Soloist, Soprano soloist, Administrative Assistant, Student Advisor, Archery instructor, Library Aide, Hebrew teacher, Board Member, Tupperware Consultant, school registrar, Music Coordinator.
And the other ones: mom, sister, daughter, significant other, lover, friend, and wife of two awesome sisterwives!
