While some may say, "the world is going to Hades in a handbasket", I say "piffle!"
First, Hades isn't even on my "To Do" list for today or, for that matter, tomorrow. Second, "handbaskets" are only for those who enjoy carrying coals to Newcastle or some other Fool's Paradise.
Anyway, I prefer to think that life is what you make of it. So, enjoy every minute. And, when you've finished your "bowl full of cherries", fear not, there will be plenty of "pleasure pits" to enjoy, just mark my words!
Not one to gather moss under my feet, or pout about what to do while "Waiting for Godot", I've decided to share with you some odd jobs I've had to justify my existence, (but more importantly ...my jam and peanut butter).
You'll note that none of
positions mentioned below have appeared in newspaper under heading, "jobs wanted". That's not surprising. After all, why would women want to reveal how to preserve their sanity amidst chaos and clutter left behind by magnificent men from Mars? (But that's another tangential story, worth at least one chapter in my next book, "Cautionary Tales from Martian Caves".
Where was I? ...ah yes, "odd" jobs:
-- Whine & Cheese Party Hostess -- Wing-It & Wet-Nurse Wonder Woman -- Lost-and-Found Monitor & Bumbershoot Locator -- Little Rubber Ducky Fundraiser -- Fly-Swatting Summer Camp Counsellor -- Bruxism Buster and Tooth Fairy Stand-In -- Accredited Waffle Stomper & Bucker-Upper -- Out-On-A-Limb Branch Coordinator
