My first Meme
I’ve been tagged for my first meme by Ayelet, so here goes nothing:
Four jobs I’ve had:
*Camp counselor & Cook’s assistant at Girl Scout Camp (also camp for Speech & Hearing Impaired (I should really write about these experiences)
*Audio-Visual Projectionist (16mm, slide shows etc…)–this allowed me in college to “audit” an Art History class without having to do any work. I think I fell asleep only once or twice. “Next Slide”
*Reference/Automation Librarian at a women’s college in the US
*Internet Spy on Wealthy People (still doing it ..can’t say what organization) This is my current, “on the side job” which brings in a little bit of pocket money. You would not believe the kind of information that you can find out about people on the net
Four movies I can watch over and over:
*Willy Wonka (the original)
*The Wizard of Oz (hubby & I saw it in a real movie theater for our first date.
*What’s Up Doc Barbara Streisand and Ryan O’Neal–worth renting
*ClerksI LURVE this movie. I just forgot about it until I saw Psychotoddler’s list of jobs in his Meme
Four places I have lived:
*Cobleskill, NY (six years–I just missed my 20 year High School Reunion
*Ithaca, NY (four years of college)
*Milwaukee, WI (ten years–still the longest I’ve ever lived in one city)
*Jerusalem, Israel (just celebrated four years)
Four television shows I love to watch: ( I haven’t owned a TV in over 4 year, so my shows are based on what was on in 2001)
- Simpsons
- Gilmour Girls
- The Muppet Show (we have the DVD of the first season–it is great!)
- 7th Heaven
Four places I have been on vacation:
*The Wisconsin Dells
*Door County (yep, Wisconsin again)
*A month-long backpacking trip of Europe (post college) including: Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland, England & Holland (not in that order). I did the trip mostly alone. I started out by visiting a good friend serving in the US Army in Germany. When he put me on the train to Munich I nearly freaked out–but not as much as when I got to the Munich train station. There are so many wonderful stories (that wasn’t one of them) from my trip…maybe I should start a series on the blog about them.
*Kibbutz Maale HaChamisha (a nice shabbat away with the girls…umm if they are with us—what are we away from?)
Four of my favorite dishes:
*Fettucine Verde
*Chinese Chicken with Cashews
*Pad Thai
*Almost anything my mom cooks
Four websites I visit daily:
*Netvibes
*Jerusalem Post(not that I enjoy the news here)
*Facebook (this site is d*mn addictive)
*Anything that’s updated on my blogroll (via Bloglines).
Four places I would rather be right now:
*sleeping—uninterrupted beyond 6AM
*Touring Israel (it is amazing how few times I’ve left Jerusalem in the last four years
*Spending time with my niece and sister
*Camping (unfortunately, the spouse isn’t into camping…I’ll need to convince someone else someday…maybe me and the girls.)
Four bloggers I am tagging:
This is hard because my readership is so miniscule, that I don’t know who will even see this….lets try: Psycho Toddler, Mozeman, Daphna, and anyone else who reads my blog!
Woo hoo! Thanks for the answers.
I’m still curious about when your boss was a nun, and now I’m wondering about you current job - spying on wealthy people?! do tell..
I can’t believe I forgot the muppet show on my list - it’s one of my favourite shows ever.
Also, can you explain a bit about Facebook? I don’t entirely get it..

Ayelet- not only was my boss a nun, but so was one of the two people I supervised (and both were over 70)!
The spy job is actually doing “internet research” for an organization so they can find donors and board members.
Facebook links you up with people from your past…co-workers, classmates, family….I’ve hunted down two cousins of mine, three of my hubby’s cousins, a few classmates etc…and every time someone adds a connection you get notified, so you can see the web growing!

Internet spy–how do I get a job like that??
Comment by mother in israel — October 31, 2006 @ 10:39 am
Mother: I actually got it after a 4 day on-site job with the company. They asked me if I was available for some work from home, and I’ve been doing “bits and pieces” for them for over 2 years!
