She would always beg me to let her stay up later than she was supposed to. I told her "okay, but when you see those headlights coming up the driveway you'd better run to bed!" Of course her folks always saw her flitting across the picture window when she did that.Linda Reillyhttp://www.lindasreilly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175574572567889638.post-24406758052289813672015-07-24T09:02:07.205-04:002015-07-24T09:02:07.205-04:00I WORKED AT THE CITY POOL AND ALSO DID BABYSITTING...I WORKED AT THE CITY POOL AND ALSO DID BABYSITTING.

I never really had "summer jobs". The first place I worked was at a veterinarian office. Then I picked up a side job where I worked at a cat house. Now I am not sure if that name means the same in your area, but down south it can mean something completely different than what it was, a cattery or a house with 100 plus cats, all show quality. I did that on weekends when the owners were showing their cats. Not fun, but it had MTV and no one else had that at the time. So I loved spending the weekends there. I too was over paid and over praised and loved it. I also loved working at the vet's office. Never had a job in a restaurant though. It was either a vet's office or the airport or airline. As I have already read, reviewed, and even won a copy I am happy there will be someone else out there with a super prize pack. Again LOVE THIS SERIES!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11806151679564881115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175574572567889638.post-30774916458191064502015-07-23T21:47:33.250-04:002015-07-23T21:47:33.250-04:00That sounds like fun being a "sample girl.&qu...That sounds like fun being a "sample girl."Linda Reillyhttp://www.lindasreilly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175574572567889638.post-15040019731455073592015-07-23T21:37:46.456-04:002015-07-23T21:37:46.456-04:00Ooh, driving a tractor sounds like fun!

I really did not like that. I would get so hot and dirty! But one time I did catch a baby cottontail rabbit and I kept it wrapped in my shirt until I went home for the night. I fed it milk with a doll bottle and it got to know me pretty good. It would come to me when it wanted to eat after I was done working for the day. Unfortunately I had to give it up when I went away to college.

I think in my entire lifetime I had at least 25 or 30 jobs. While in school I'd been able to find jobs very quickly after one was gone. <br /><br />I love to read new to me authors and series and would love to add this book to my home library. <br /><br />NoraAdrienne (at) gmail (dot) comNoraAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14820850644240626655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175574572567889638.post-47285131415404662642015-07-23T10:53:52.623-04:002015-07-23T10:53:52.623-04:00I had just turned 16 and couldn't wait to get ...I had just turned 16 and couldn't wait to get a job.
