A CAREER CHANGING MOMENT.......

Back in 1991 I found myself with a career changing decision....My company was downsizing and my position was being done away with.....It was right at the holidays but always being optimistic I jumped at the chance for some career counseling.....The company was going to foot the bill to help find me a new, hopefully fun career, so I was prepared to try anything....Below are just some of the new professions that the Career Counselors suggested I try.......
My first try at a new career.....appliance repair person.....What women wouldn't want another
women fixing their clothes dryer.....but there was that whole electrical shock issue....plus I never
looked good in uniforms....

Tiffany's hired me to model their diamonds....but customers complained of too much cleavage....they asked...."Who does she think she is Giada?"

Knowing I love animals, especially chimps, they suggested animal wrangling......this didn't work out when they realized the enormous liability if the little bugger bit me.....that's the last thing they wanted....

I tried a short stint as a UPS driver.....again liability issues, I could lift a heavy package and the back could go out and of course there is always the chance of a dog bite....

Race car driver....the pay would be good but with whole depth perception problem driving that fast around a circle over and over and over again.........well, not good.

this was an interesting week, they had me working as a statue model....no chance of any injury...I just had to stand in one place....but they worried about blood clots forming in my limbs due to lack of movement....I really enjoyed this job though....Nice dress, very slimming...I look 50 pounds lighter!

They contacted the Food Network to see if they would take me off their hands and maybe make me the Next Food Network Star......Bob Tushman and Susie Folegsman didn't fall for this.....As Bob was heard saying....."She's perky enough to have her own show but who's the purple guy that she drags everywhere and what if she cuts her hand with a knife,.....we want no part of that".........

One week they shipped me off to the Waldorf.....I love New York....but I had to make beds..... Plus I was caught eating all the chocolates off the pillows....

Cover Girl......enough said.

They flew me off to L.A. to be an agent....I liked this but I missed home and insisted that they send me back to Atlanta.......Here I am schmoozing with Dustin Hoffman...He's even shorter then me in person..

And then there was George..............They asked George if he would take me off their hands...maybe I could read him his lines for his next movie..........George wanted no part of me...He said...."She's an accident waiting to happen plus her heads too big."

When all else failed me and the firm decided to part company.....I found another position as a personal assistant to some guy they only refer to as "The Boss"....the pay is bad but I get to sleep as late as I like....I can work in my pajama's........... but I am on call 24 hours for kitchen duty....All in all it's not bad and it does come with a pension.....
