Four bizarre jobs I have held and the length of time I lasted and how I left:
1. Paint Girl: Color Me Mine in Summit, NJ 3 months
In high school, I took this job for pizza money. I was in charge of securing paint and brushes for kids, soccer moms and the like who used paint therapy to unwind or host parties. Stopped going one day after school.
2. Life Coach: Telecommuted 3 weeks & 2 weeks
Provided phone and e-mail reminders to a client in LA and another in Princeton, NJ. Mostly they paid me to be their nagging wife. One was gay and the other had serious issues: he insisted on referring to me as Goddess. Both job paid in movie tickets through Fandango.
3. Social Planner: Diamond Dealer in NYC 8 months
One of my many CL etcetera jobs. I planned out activities this diamond dealer never ever ended up doing. He was one of those sleazy middle-eastern bachelors. Once he had me just sit in his office and watch him work. He paid me in cash advances--booze money.
4. Art Auction Bidder: NYC Gallery 2 hours
Tommy and I attended an art exhibit and bid on a few pieces each. There is a limit on how many pieces one person can buy--particularly by the same artist, so the appreciaters who paid us circumvented the system by having us buy the pieces for them with their money. We got to rub elbows with the high brow clientele at the gallery and chug cheap wine--yeah, we're classy!
