Can't Sleep Soooo

A little while ago my sister came up with this brilliant idea to
blog about all the jobs she's had. If you know me and my sister you would know we have had some pretty interesting jobs. I don't know why or how but I think it has to do with the fact that we get bored very easily. So it is now 1:45 a.m. and all I could think
about while laying in my bed is all the ridiculous jobs I've had throughout my life....so
here it goes

1- BACKUP DANCER FOR RADIO DISNEY'S AARON KARR
Yes that's right radio disney. And no this is not Aaron Carter it's Aaron Karr...but we did get to meet Aaron Carter at one of our performances. This actually w
as my first paying "gig" and they actually flew us out somewhere on the east coast and we were hauled around in a hummer and did a performance in the rain for about 4 people....it was awesome!! And he actually was a super good singer/performer.

2- DANCE INSTRUCTOR (always and forever)
I wish I really wore outfits like that to dance...I think I started assistant teaching dance when I was 8 yrs old at my Moms studio....I will always love dance and I will forever miss the years of Applause Dance Center....

3- TELEPHONE SALES FOR I-SATELLITE
When I was going to my first semester of college I did what almost every college student did for a job...call center. I got my friend Becca a job with me so it wouldn't be so bad...but it was. I think I worked for i-satellite for maybe 2 months before I quit.

4-PAINTED PORCHES
This had to have been one of the most random jobs I've ever had. When I first moved to Hawaii this old man named Rodney would always come and fix stuff on our rotting house. Well since I didn't have a job at the time I asked him if he had anything for me to do and he said I could paint the porches of several houses....so I did. So for $50 a porch I got to paint in my bikini, and work on my tan. BEST JOB EVER;)

5- DANCER/CRUISE STAFF ON THE PRIDE OF HAWAII NORWIEGAN CRUISELINE
This was the best/worst/weirdest/best job I've ever had. It definitely was an experience of a lifetime and not only was I doing what I love but I got to travel and see things I never thought I would.

6- LOVESAC SALES REP
I will be the fist to tell you I was horrible at this job and I don't know how or why I was hired. But luckily for me I got a love sac for practically nothing and I only had to work there for a little over a month!

7- EXPRESS SALES REP

After I got home from working on the ship I thought it would be a good idea to work two jobs during the holiday season...wrong. I ended up working one night at express folding clothes and I was over it and quit the next day.

8- ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH NIGHT SHIFT
I worked from 10p.m.-6a.m. then drove an hour from waikiki to laie...not smart. I did this job for one week before I wanted to naw my own arm off....nothing but folding clothes for HOURS! It was horrible and I would have to say this was the worst of all my jobs!

9- TURTLE BAY GIFT SHOP
This was my view from my cold dusty gift shop at turtle bay. Not bad. I was the only white girl and all the employees were related or had known each other for over a decade...but they were pretty cool and they would buy me food and we would sit behind the cash register and chow down. Not to mention the employee discount on rooms...

10- APX OFFICE ASSISTANT
I survived last year so hopefully I can do it again...paperwork and licensing really wasn't all that bad once I got the hang of it. I got paid for 40 hrs a week when I was actually working maybe 10...so I can't really complain.

11- HAIRSTYLIST
Finally!!! I'm at a salon that I love and I'm doing what I love! It's a great feeling!
