Panic time: TAGGED!

I've been TAGGED by Meinhild in France at http://meinhild.wordpress.com/ ! My first tagging, so thankyou for the honor(I think) and here goes. I like what Bill Sharp did listing former jobs on his blog http://billsharp.wordpress.com/2007/10/20/tagged/, and listed a few myself....

Here are seven random things about myself, 4 of them old jobs:
1. Once helped an artist who designed Watergate Hearings parody “postage stamps." (I did the color separations - this was pre-Photoshop.)

2. I commercially cleaned swimming pools - including fishing dead salamanders out of icy skimmers barehanded, carrying nets and poles through shrubbery, and schmoozing irritable dogs.

3. Took my 2-year old to work with me in a harness and leash. (He forgives me)

4. Did darkroom processing in a warehouse for a guy who sold vintage fan magazines by mail.

Three other random facts:
5. My college French teacher looked down our throats with a flashlight to check for pronunciation flaws.

6. I have eaten the dreaded Durian Fruit & have photos to prove it (which will never see the light of day.)

7. I LOVE to drive under the approach path to airports and look up at the planes flying low overhead.

With thanks and apologies, I am tagging these inspiring bloggers:

1. Ganga Sunshine http://gangasunshine.blogspot.com/ for her lightheartedness, inspiring work, and encouraging comments.

2. Fellow Arizonan http://crimsoncat05.blogspot.com/ who does beautiful art papers and glazes that defy description: just go see them!

3. Nevada artist and librarian/traveler http://desertsuburbia.blogspot.com/, also visit her terrific bird-photography blog at http://pictographica.blogspot.com/)!

4. Jeannette, an awesome artist and adventurous lady at http://www.jimmyjanesays.com/sketchblog/, whose new blog from Japan, Alone in Kudamatsu, is on her profile page. I'm not going to actually "tag" you Jeannette, because you have plenty to do already, I'll bet.

5. Child of Atom at http://www.childofatom.blogspot.com/Thanks for his awesome subway sketches, which he has just started doing again.
