Day 13~Best Job Ever

I'm taking part in the 31 Days of Blog Juice at Creating Motherhood where they've provided 31 days of ideas to blog about...you don't have to do all them but the idea is to get to know me and why I do what I do.

Day 13 – Tell us about the best job you ever had, and the worst. Do you ever blog or read blogs while at work? Do you ever quote or reference blogs while at work?

I've been lucky and had a few best jobs.  The first, I was a college tour guide for my college and gave tours to prospective students...including my now husband.  So, I'm glad that went well!  The next was the job I had right after college...maybe not all the people were the best, but the job was fun.  I was a Student Activities Assistant Director and I worked with student organizations to plan different activities...including a stop by Jerry Springer (who in real life is pretty nice & funny & not much like the craziness you see on the show!) He was thinking about running for Govenor of Ohio.  It was fun to work with a lot of different students & because I was a the college where I had attended, I still had a lot of friends around. 

My very best job was at Baird & Bird Realtors for 6 years.   I was the marketing person...this was by far the best, most flexible job any person could ever want.  If my kids were sick, I stayed home.  When my son was born, they figured out a way for me to telecommute and the 3 days I went to work, I brought him with me...for 9 months!  The people were awesome, the family atmosphere was amazing.  Best. Job. Ever.

Now, I'm considered an independant contractor, so sure I read & write my blog while at work.  But I work for myself, so I won't be laid off or fired.  I also reference things I've read on blogs at work, but I have a feeling few people understand what I am talking about.
