4x9 about me

4 Jobs I've had:

1. Special events designer (production designer is what it said on my card) I did set design for 5 years... it was fun and a lot of work. I got out of it to move to portland. Kind of miss it but not enough to try to find work here doing it. I have a habit of getting over involved.

2. ummm.. i'm not sure of the title just at this moment but I was going to be doing estimates for a construction company here in portland on remodels in peoples homes... I had this job for about 6 hours... I decided it was not the work I wanted to be doing at the moment.. plus I felt the people were a little shady. The "desk" I sat at was a door on some saw horses and the room wasn't even finish.. you would think if it's a construction company the office would at least have walls...

3. Scenic Artist, I painted sets at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego for about 3 years while I was in grad school. FUN!!! and messy... I loved that job.. met lots of cool people, got to paint all kinds of cool stuff.. Looked like a homeless person most of the time as I was pretty much always covered in paint... anytime i would go out to eat with my friends from work we always got seated in the back...

4. Landscape lackey. I lived in Ann Arbor michigan for about 4 months and to make some money I work for this guy that was a Prof at U of Michigan and had a landscape company in the summer... He was Jamaican and would make fun of me for being white. I ran a crew of 2 mexican guys that didn't speak english, Juan and uncle Juan. they pretty much just stared at my boobs and weeded.. they worked really hard and were nice guys on the most part.. I was happy to not do that job anymore...

4 Movies I Can Watch Over & Over Again:

1. Cabin Boy.. it makes me laugh.
2. Free Enterprise.. watch it if you've not seen, see it.. Bill Shatner at his best.
3. City of the lost Children. not seen it in a while but I really liked it a lot.
4. Goonies.
