I’ve started my temp job and everything is great so far. One of the first things I couldn’t help noticing was the large number of young, professional women in the company. Let me tell you, never in my life have I wondered so often if there was a booger sticking out my nose.

It was easy to stay focused as the day wore on, but every once in a while my mind would wander to my past jobs. Looking back on my past employment, I can’t help but wonder if I’ve worked more jobs than the average person. Not that I’ve worked harder than anyone else, goodness no. But looking at all the places I’ve been employed in the last 8 years, the list seems kind of long:

Clinic, Engineering Company, Toy Store, Accounting Firm, Woodshop, Retail Warehouse, Leasing Office, Computer Lab, Registry of Motor Vehicles, Design Firm, Children’s Software Company, Mortgage Firm.

What’s that, like 12? Is that normal? It’s not like I can’t hold a job, all of those place listed above I’ve had to leave for things like college or relocation. I’ve never been fired. Although in my last job I was paranoid that they wanted me to leave; mainly because they occasionally forgot my paycheck and kept filling my work area with plants.

I suppose it doesn’t make any difference. More experience just makes me a better person. Because I’m good enough, I’m smart enough…
