Hi! Love the coat! SO cute! You might want to try Baby Gap/Gap Kids for an easy seasonal job. I worked there a looooong time ago but found it to be a very friendly, laid back place. Plus we got 50% off Gap, 35% off Banana and 15% off Old Navy. It would probably come in handy for Christmas shopping–or your wardrobe! :)) Good luck with the search!

Ha, I worked in a cafe/deli where all I did was chop fruits and vegetables all day. I hated it. I would go home covered in tomato goo and seeds every day. At least it taught me that I never want to be a chef! :P

Good luck with the starbucks gigs, I hope you get one. Positive thinking always makes my workouts better. When I just “know” I’ll have a kick ass spin class, it always turns out amazing.

Jobs I’ve had – working a bakery doing crap work like dipping/chopping strawberries, bus girl, cashier/customer service/produce department of a super market, front desk at an assisited living home, worked at the same bakery years later as a bridal consultant, waitress and my full time job as an adminstrative assistant! Whew, that’s a lot! My full time job is my favorite right now, and I hated working at the bakery. I made boxes all day or chopped strawberries. It sucked.

Yep, the restaurant! There were two Hooters girls on every plane and they would play games with the passengers!

It was a funny job, once a lady cussed me out because she didn’t know it was that Hooters and was convinced her 12 year old BOY was scarred for life! BTW they were flying to the beach where he certainly would not be seeing scantily clad women! lol! :P

Perverts called a lot thinking the operators were also Hooters girls. Sad truth, we were in pj pants half the time!

I’ve had tons of job working my way through college. I worked at a toy store, a clothing store, a grocery store, I was a customer service rep for a bike and dive equipment catalog, but the one that makes people laugh the most was a reservation agent for Hooters Airline. Sadly they went bankrupt! Now I’m an accountant at a mental health clinic.

“Hair for radio”??? and I was going to say how super cute your hair looks in that picture! The coat is darn cute too!

My past jobs include decorating cakes at Dairy Queen, coaching figure skating, working in Property Mangement (did.not.like) and my current sales job in the automotive industry.

Cute coat!! It looks darling on you!!

And I agree with the workout positive thinking. If I dread it all day it’s never any fun but if I pump myself up I end up having a blast!

Good luck with the starbucks situation! I’ve been applying for tons of nursing jobs but would you believe most hospitals are on a hiring freeze for nurses?? what the heck!

I’m not a 9-5 person either, for some reason I find it really tiring! But the idea of having a proper weekend sounds SO appealing to me right now. I haven’t had weekends off since before my first job when I was 16!!

I woke up starving at 6am this morning. Not cool. Love your attitude towards the step class and agree 100%- the mindset we enter things in has SO much impact on the outcome.

Love the coat :D Good luck with the applications…

My favourite jobs that have been ‘long term’ have been the freelance music/writing stuff. I love the idea of a set 9-5 structure, but the creative part of me likes more of a “go with the flow” thing.
