first job I was 16 and worked as a carhop at the Pioneer Drive-In. I wove carhopping and waitressing in and out of my life over a few years.
I gutted chickens.
I built fiberglass boats
I was material handler/quality control in a plastic factory
I built fiberglass backs/fronts and skirts for Fleetwood motor homes.
I've bartended
I cleaned a Dental Clinic
I cleaned 2 dialysis centers
Then after shoulder surgery and a back injury from being pinned under a mold I finally wised up and got my GED and went through Voc Rehab to attend beauty college.
Then I worked in a Fiesta for a year then opened my own shop in my home...named Soft Touch Salon.....and here you thought I picked that username because I'm soft hearted and soft headed....  I eventually remodelled my shop and renamed it New Creations.
Good blog Ewe....very interesting! Earned ya a kudo....don't spend it all in one place....
