Watch out, Odie bites!


Why on earth the crew trusted three drunkards to steer the boat is beyond me. I'm sorry Anne, I had to do it...I love this picture!

Open Call for Work

My first job was bagging groceries at an Airforce Base Commissary. I was self-employed, earned an average of 25 cents a bag, and worked about 10 hours a week. It was fun…like playing Tetris with food and brown bags (if you were anal like me and wanted everything to fit perfectly). Then there was underage beer cart girl at Willow Lakes, secretary (administrative assistant (file bitch)) for “Kiewit Construction, this is Diana.” 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. clothes folder at the horrific Abercrombie & Fitch, lifeguard at the world’s smallest pool (Leslie I can hear you laughing), front desk at a Women’s Gym called Curves before there was Curves, server at Brewsky’s, barista at Crescent Moon, caterer at the Cornhusker Hotel, master of the martini at Zen’s: The Art of Martini Maintenance (I’m not kidding, that was the name), bartender at Cliff’s Lounge, the greatest dive in Lincoln, all-knowing and powerful Birkenstock “specialist” at Footloose and Fancy, cashier at The Daily Drip, Irashaimase! server at Sushi Japan, junior copywriter at SKAR Advertising, the shortest lived hostess in history at Wave in the W Hotel (ahh! Secret shopper!), yet another intern copywriter for Two X Four Communications, and finally at present day I’m the world’s best bartender at McGinny’s Tap. I make opening a bottle of Miller Lite look easy, it’s pretty amazing.

Now if that isn’t the most impressive resume for emperor of my own private island, I don’t know what is. Any day now, I should get the call. Yep, any day. Could be tomorrow, could be next week.

But in the meantime, if any of my fine friends would like to throw out any ideas of what I might be qualified for, I’m very open. Make note that I can also stand on my hands for an extended period of time, put up Christmas decorations, and make creamy roasted red pepper soup.

Hope everyone is having a Happy Holiday Season!
