Blagged and Yes, My Tongue Hangs Out When I Say That

I have been blagged by Angela of Mommy Bytes and it seems I get to tell you eight interesting, sexy, captivating things about myself.  Fooled ya...this meme I've decided to add my spin.  Eight things about me...how about eight careers-jobs-careers (you decide) I have had in life...

1. A legal assistant/researcher/gopher/flunky.  Yep, watch out...I know the laws, where to find them and how to cite them. The attorney I worked for said I was the "best he ever had" because I could lie without lying.  He hated relaying certain information to clients so it always fell within my realm.  But I swear I've reformed and am now completely honest.  Could I interest you in a miracle method to obliterate calories?
2. Administrative assistant to the President and Executive Vice President of a large bank.  Yes, I was allowed to play with handle money in the vault.  Oh, what a sight...what fun...especially when those men with large guns would enter the vault while I was there and remove money to transport.  They never let me tag along for a joy ride in the cute armored truck.
3. Medical office manager for a home health service.  I don't really want to talk about this one, but will.  First of all at the end of the interview the owner of the business said he didn't feel he could hire me because I was young and had no experience in the medical field.  I promptly, being a arrogant self-confident young lady and newlywed, told him, "mkay, your loss".  He checked my references, called me the next day and hired me.  I wished I hadn't gotten this one.  Managing a staff of traveling nurses and typing gross medical notes...not me.
4. Weekend On-call Coordinator for Home Health Care Service. This was a complete nightmare and the reason I hate telephone conversations to this day.  Do you know that no home health aid wants to work weekends.  They left their shifts uncovered...and a sucker like me had to find a home health aid sucker to cover them?  Tis true...nuff said.
5. Aerobics class instructor/fitness instructor.  Skinny gal who could run the toughest muscle-head dude ragged.  I left 'em crying every time.  Gosh, I miss those days...I was really good at torture and the training has served me well in motherhood.
6. Preschool Gymnastics instructor/business owner.  This was by far the most fun occupation...other than motherhood...because no matter how bad I might have felt at the beginning of a day, there was always hilarious happenings and the most adorable faces to cheer me.  I could flip a preschool child like there's no tomorrow baby!  Plus it is always good to be one's own boss.  Downside...snotty noses and potty accidents.
7. Candy packer on the CHOCOLATE LINE of a candy plant!!  Need I say more?  Remember I am a chocoholic.  This was during the summer before my senior year in high school.  When the whistle blew for breaks or lunch I was allowed to take all the chocolate I wanted to eat during the break.  Wait...having flashbacks...eating all that chocolate with no weight gain or rise in cholesterol levels (oh, for the teen metabolism years to return)...heaven...OK...I'm back.
8. Mother.  All I have to say about this occupation is...it's me.  The fudging, legal tactic, money management, medical, fitness, gymnastic and candy packing experiences trained me well for THE occupation I adore.

These are the rules and details of the Blag:

• Each player starts with eight random facts or habits about his or her self.
• These blagged chosen ones are to write posts on their own blog about these eight facts.
• They are also to post these rules.
• At the end of their blog they will list eight people  they have chosen to blag by listing their name and a link to their blog.

I now blag Val, Melissa, Sarah, Dawn, Michelle, Colleen, Jen, and tegdirb cuz my inquiring mind wants to know.  If any of you have been previously "blagged"...you are excused.
