Name That Job #1

 Inside the blogsophere, we are known by our blog names, our Twitter handles and our latest post.  Outside of it, we are known for completely different reasons.  You may be known as the lady on the street who locks herself out of her house or whose three-year-old son rides on his bike commando (maybe that's just me?).  Maybe you ride your bike commando.  Maybe you are the commando-in-chief of a large corporation.  You see where I am taking this?  There is a lot about each other we don't know.  Shouldn't we know absolutely everything possible there is to know about each other?  The purpose of this game is to discover more about who YOU are when you step away from the computer screen.  Earlier this week, I asked for guinea pigs for my new game & was so excited when these ladies stepped up.  We will play "Name That Job!" today and Monday.  
HOW TO PLAY: Guess which one of the four choices describes the contestant's current or former job/profession based on what you know about them (if anything) or what you can guess based on their picture alone.  Jot your answers down somewhere and then check your answers with the key at the very bottom.  Let us know how you did!!  Also, if you click on the contestant's blog title/Twitter name, it will take you to their area of the web.  Go visit!

So funny, love how you did this. Great idea and thanks for including me Kelley! And, for the record I bet Old Tweener could make a great rasberry beret.

Dang, I missed 1, 2 and 10. I'd love to be in your next one, but I'd have to take my job off my Twitter handle. Or is that part of it?

Very ambitious post. I would have played along but too difficult to choose between bum, streetperson, hobo, and embarrassment to my family! W.C.C.

Comments make me feel like I'm not talking to the wall. Don't get me wrong. I love talking to walls. Some of my best friends are walls. Still, I like hearing from you, so thanks!
