MOM!!!!
CSR for Satan's Biggest Corporation
Customer Service Specialist for wholesale card company (psycho owner)
Event Coordinator (fancy way of saying party rental person)

Through college and beyond it was not uncommon for me to have 2-3 jobs at once.
My most rewarding job is being Nick's mom (except when he is a very angry boy and does something reallllllllllly bad~even though I understand why he did it, it doesn't make it right).
The jobs I enjoyed the most were working the convience stores. I loved seeing the same people every day.
I truly enjoy helping people, and just wish that SBC hadn't taken the service out in favor of sales, or I would still be there.

[Snowflake]

Lawn Mower Slave - ages 8-16
Paper Route - ages 8-12 (thanks Mom, she worked for the Mercury News and helped me get the job, first girl in the neighborhood)
Babysitter Service - ages 9-14
McD's Company Store (very restricted, but good people)
McD's Franchise in a mall (more freedom, but a lousy boss)
Maxell - making blank cassettte tapes (noisy and miserable job and it's a surprise to me how many blank cassettes actually worked after seeing how poorly they were made) 2 months (never on any resume)
Macy's Sales Assistant 1.5 years
Safeway - Courtesy Clerk then store bookeeper 5 years
Tower Records (which overlapped with Safeway for a few years until I moved to SF) 10 years total (most fun job I ever had, was classical and later fine tuned to opera buyer, opened a couple of stores and always thought the yearly inventory counting sessions to be a archaic but weirdly fun episode, especially when the counts in some rows were wildly off and the management began to really stress)
IP Law - Foreign Department Secretary was the start, where I began to learn my trade that is now a 20 year career that varied from foreign-based trademark paralegal, client practice liason and legal secretary in patent prosecution. 20 years! I thank every day my first boss, a crazy Swiss/Italian lady who was the head of the Foreign Dept. and fought to hire me, the person with absolutely no experience. By doing so, she gave me an opportunity to work at a job where I can plant my butt in any city in the US and get a job, and a decent paying one at that.

The only stuff on my resume now is the last 10 years of my career in IP law.

Okay, WB, tell us some stories!
