I hate using the phone but I can fake it ok. PA systems are a whole other kettle of fish. I should never be allowed near one.
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of the phone, I pick up the Dean's phone sometimes, and I just got to talk to Lillian Vernon HERSELF. V. exciting.

Neither. I can only Karaoke VERY VERY drunk. And that's never pretty.

I have no phone fear, but I have major PA angst. But I enjoy public speaking. Go figure.
Wow, Jess might win the suckiest jobs of all time award.
My job history, more or less:
Sold products of my sister's dairy farm to local customers who came by and requested them. In Spanish.
Cashier, museum gift shop. Nice, but boring.
Taco Villa. Left after having to pull ungodly filthy underwear out of the drain in the urinal, then clean the obscenties written in taco sauce off the dining room walls.
Miller's Outpost.
College Financial Aid Office
College theater - usher, then lighting tech, then 3 years of stage managing.
College library. Yep, that's 3 simultaneous work-study jobs, for a total of 56 hours/week, and I still couldn't afford textbooks.
Craptastic Dilbertland office job
Foreign Service, admin.

When I worked at WGBH in Boston I got to talk to Alistair Cooke once. Shockingly, he was extraordinarily nice and civil.
And Bob Villa was still working there around the corner. And I got to eat vegetables from The Victory Garden.
When I worked for the Accounting Firm for Hollywood Has-Beens and B-Listers I talked to all kinds of people like: Bobby Womack (soul musician), Art Clokey (invented Gumby), Chris Knight (middle Brady), and Fred Willard (comic actor). We had Lily Tomlin in the rolodex too.

Me neither. I know I work now but I don't miss the other kind of work. I can take getting shit on by my kid. A boss, NSM.
