We are switching things around this week and playing "Name That Job" today instead of Friday. It has been so much fun playing this silly game this summer! I do intend to play a time or two before the summer is over, but this is the last one for a little while. If you are interested in being featured, please let me know by e-mailing me via the "Contact Me" tab in the navigation bar above.
This is a multiple choice test. Please take your time. In most cases, you are guessing which one IS true. If you want to know more about the person, just click on their blog's name. I apologize for running out of scantron forms and blue books. You will just have to mentally keep track of your answers and check them with the Answer Key at the bottom of the page. I had to fire my Teaching Assistant recently given the tough economic times, so you will have to grade the test yourself. Sorry, man!

It's amazing some of the jobs people have... Makes my life sound so...dull.
I finally guessed at least half right! Yay! So fun! Great line up this week, Kelley.
WHY AM I SO BAD AT THIS GAME!!
Still, I love the answers and picturing what these peeps used to do.
I got half of them correct.
Although I am a tad disappointed since I really wanted to use the scantron.
OOOH LOVED IT!!! TWEETED THE LINK!!!
#3 wins most unique job ever. I always wondered who takes care of such things. What a conversation starter at parties. I need to borrow her for a party. #4 you were trying to be tricky before my 4th cup of coffee kicked in. LOVE IT! Thanks for including me. These are so much fun.
So can you eat smell Nacho cheese without gagging?
I got to get more info on MK's internship...very interesting!
Thanks for using me! The day I got fired from The Gap was a sad day indeed. They said I was "termed". I asked what that meant. They said "terminated". Oh. Harsh.
So jealous over Scary Mommy's resume. No, not the ice cream part, although that is cool (Get it? Get it?) The Housemommy loves her Anthropologie.
I'm so happy to have participated once again. And poppy, I was a finance intern, but got to book a private charter jet, take golfers to a Brewers game & out to dinner and had vip access to their dining room. Supah fun!!
Damn, I'm really not very good at this game! Though I did get Scary MOmmy's right...and yours too Kelley!
I totally suck at these!! But they are hilarious!!
Thank you so much Kelley for letting me participate. So much fun!! Xoxo
I'm very jealous that I wasn't a nacho cheese cleaner.
I can totally picture Jill doing all of the above because she is just that glamorous.
And Make Momma Go Something Something a babysitter? Yes, I can see it.
And Momma Kiss - golf? WTF.
Love this game, Kelley!
I love this, even though I'm a horrible guesser. My faves this time: Motivational speaker opening for Tony Robbins and cage cleaner at the zoo. Awesome.
I knew MommaKiss's, but I sucked otherwise. LOL
This was my first time playing and I loved it!! Who knew all these people had such...um...interesting pasts?!
:)
I love this game!
This was my first time playing. I got about 50% which I think is a fail but it was fun.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and deciding to stay for a while! I am so bad at games like this...Hope you have an amazing day!
Sandy
Another good one KKEll, some interesting gigs in there. And glad to see you playing along with your own game! Your ability to manipulate the graphics, e.g. the TV frames for the pictures, is truly impressive, especially for a relative Luddite like myself. Looking forward to the last couple of these, great feature!
I have to say... everyone of these women have had more interesting jobs than me! And to answer your question - yes, I AM going to eat all of it.
Do you have a problem with that?
DO YOU?
That was fun!!
The only one I got right was YOU! I guess that's what happens when one hangs out in the break room for long periods of time!!
I'm terrible at this game. It's like playing Mario Kart against my son. {sigh}
Thanks Kelley for having me!! This was fun!
A porta potty sales girl?? Yikes! ;)
I will say, the Macy's gig- Freaked People Out!! Very fun!
Well I'm kind of young to remember this games on tv show, i used to watch a spanish one but i forgot the name, thanks
this is a funny way to make remember a good TV show, and the question you made are so good, only a person with a good memory and imagination can answer it.

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!
