Yay I'm getting better at this, got at least half right!

Natalie, I'm sorry, I pegged you as a choreographer - you know, because I can totally picture you doing the splits :)

LLA_Princess said... [Reply]

Ugh I totally wish I had been a carnie. My life would be complete if i had! Thanks for letting me be in the game show. Hugs to you :)

I'm vaguely disappointed that Suniverse wasn't a construction sign holder.

By the way, I was eventually promoted to waitress. And I loved it.

Lady Estrogen said... [Reply]

Yet another fun day over here - love it.

Joann Mannix said... [Reply]

Every time I'm stopped by a road crew, I always think I might want to be a road crew sign holder, holding up that big red stop sign. It's a job with so much power and you can work on your tan at the same time.

I totally took Shell for a cheerleading coach.

And poor Ann. Tia Carrere's cuticles? To take my mind off of my task, I'd probably have to keep up a running dialogue with myself, spewing out things like, "No way. Way. Scha-wing!" And this would most definitely annoy Tia.

I need a new photo. I just realized I look like I've run a marathon with my shiny face.

Missy @ Wonder, Friend said... [Reply]

My favorite new feature of yours. I kind of rocked this week, by the way. Calling that my success for the day, and now I can flounder around getting things wrong for the rest of the day.

Shell said... [Reply]

I knew Joann's- that is SO her!

Such fun, girl!

JDaniel4's Mom said... [Reply]

What fun! What an array of jobs!

Ann Imig said... [Reply]

If I'm having trouble finding gratitude, all I now need to think of is being a WEIGHT GUESSER.

Although as a 16-yr-old in retail, I did extoll the virtues of a one-size-fits-all dress to a pregnant woman "Great for after the baby too!" only to hear..."I'm. Not. Pregnant."

Thanks for having me, Kelly!

MommaKiss said... [Reply]

I love your 'non-job' descriptions almost as much as the real job. So Ann, paid to sit by someone at a pool? I'm curious!

Shell - You and Target. I knew we were MFOE.

All y'all - this. so much.

Ali - My Suitcase Full of Tricks said... [Reply]

...add this to the list of things that I'm terrible at. Fun diversion though!!!

Vic said... [Reply]

this is just awesomesauce

The Flying Chalupa said... [Reply]

I love learning about the past lives of my favorite bloggers - we all had some CRAZY jobs, that's for sure!

Thanks for having me Kelley!

Lazarus said... [Reply]

Great fun KKelley, thanks for asking me to participate! Too bad that Cary doesn't still work for Oprah, she could've helped to book you for a show on blogs... This was a great idea, looking forward to seeing more of them as the summer progresses.

Oilfield Trash said... [Reply]

AS always, hilarious!!!

Wendi said... [Reply]

Another fun batch!

W.C.Camp said... [Reply]

I need some Pepto - this is too hard!!! These people should have the decency to hold up a wrench or wear a bunny outfit or something to give me a hint as to what they do! Great game as always though! W.C.C.

Suniverse said... [Reply]

This was great! Thanks for including me. I had no idea i would be included among such august company.

By Word of Mouth Musings said... [Reply]

Glad I headed over again, this was even more hilarious than the last! And I am getting better at it LOL

Natalie said... [Reply]

I love this Kelley! Thanks for including me and I didn't know Joann's for sure but guessed right...it totally suits her ;)

You're so fun with these games, Kelley. I'm going to check out the blogs too.
Be well.

Sandra said... [Reply]

So glad Laz from the LG Report got on the very successful bandwagon...which I still can't win at...I suck at games. I just happen to love you a lot!

Erin I'm Gonna Kill Him said... [Reply]

I got Ann and Tarja right. And Joann's because I thought the most incredible things would be true.

Suniverse, I add to my file on you.

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!
