Before I was Interrupted

This is the meme I was going to do yesterday and since I've had more time to mull it over, I feel pressure now... pressure that my answers have to be sharper, funnier and more interesting. Wish me luck.

Four Jobs I've Had

1. Gymnastics coach. You'd be surprised how much "little" kids weigh when you have to lift them over and over again.
2. Student Worker for the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry. It was interesting working for the state. I liked the holidays, that was about it.
3. Cake Builder. During one of the summers while I was in culinary school, I took a job in a bakery/pastry shop. I thought any chef worth her salt should know more about the bake shop. I gained 5 pounds.
4. Temp. Just out of college, right after 9/11 and people were afraid to hire, so I took temp. positions to pay for my wedding. I remember one so vividly. I had to call every Home Depot in the 10 states I was given to help create a database of certain fax numbers. One word: Ew.
