I wish my job now was as fun as my job at Build-A-Bear was. That was awesome.

OMG Mini would LOVE you!

Best job ever was being a bank teller. I made $6.00 but I was as happy as a lark. Playing w/ other people''s money is very fun plus being on your feet all day you stay in much better shape than sitting at a computer all day! AND my boss handed us a beer on our way out every night. ROADIES!

Funny story, the first year TJ and I were dating he took me to BAB for valentines day. My cat binks loves to molest/knead anything soft and squishy, be it a tummy, stuffed animal, cashmere sweater, anything. So to combat this we built a bear just for him. It was a monkey and we named her "Lindsay Spears." She had on a denim skirt, red sox jersey and no undies and her voice box said "No Binks, not my forbidden inch!"

OMG it freaked the eff out of Binks. So hilarious!!! He stayed away from her after he heard it, but still humps my sweaters.

Working at Home Depot was the best thing I ever did. If only they paid a normal wage!!

Really? TJ's mom works at Lowes and loves it. What did you like about it?

My BFF from HS works there and SHE loves it!

I loved working as a nanny...I should go professional. With my references, credentials and education I could probably rack in a very nice salary. But then I'd have to work for some hoity-toity Manhattan family. The money definitely WON'T be worth having to deal with the intellectual elite

I like my supervisors to have comparable (OR LESS THAN

) IQs to mine.

My best job was working as a sports counselor in a summer day camp. I spent all day every day in the sun running around playing sports. And then sneaking around with a cute boy trying to avoid the bosses/head of camp seeing us and getting us in trouble! That cute boy turned into my husband, so I guess those days of getting paid less than $3 an hour were worth it!

Not sure how they even got away with paying us so little.

It''s funny because everyone used to complain about getting paid less than minimum wage to work really hard in camp, but now we all wish we could go back! It''s better than accumulating student loans to have to sit in class all summer...... Or getting paid to sit in an office at a desk all day... Funny how your outlook changes once you reach the other side of those jobs!

Oh, and for you cat people, most cats get along really well with bunnies! They play together, often with the bunny chasing the cat around. Hehe.

I want a bunny

A big fluffy Otto like bunny. He is so cute.


My cats would be fine. I''m just afraid the puppy (80 pounds) would love the bunny a little too much...

I hated my second store. They limited my party times! I''m sorry, parties with me are an hour and a half of awesome, not 45 minutes of mediocre because they want to push "the brats" out of the store. For Pete''s sake, you work at BAB! Sing, dance, go crazy! My heart ceremonies kicked butt, too. I guess I lucked out with my first store - my manager loved what I did, and the people in the other stores could always tell when I was at work, because I made people do the silliest stuff.
