A Meme by Me
Diva just tagged me for a MEME. Although I've been blogging for over a year now, I didn't know what the word 'meme' meant. So I looked it up and found this definition...
“ meme n (mëm): A unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another. From the Greek mimëma, something imitated, from mimeisthai, to imitate. ”
In Blogspeak, a meme is an idea that is shared and passed from blog to blog, like a question posted in one blog and answered in many other blogs.
Because I loved the Proust Questionnaires on the back page of Vanity Fair magazine, I will now do my part and contribute to this meme.
FOUR THINGS MEME
FOUR JOBS I'VE HAD
Waitress. That lasted all of 3 weeks. What can I say? Most people don't deserve to be waited on.
Social Page Editor. I was the Birth/Deaths/Events lady at the newspaper. Interviewing Miss Azalea and the Dental Hygienist of the Year got me fired (apparently complaints were made about my apathy regarding their accomplishments) and I ended up in the Art Department.
Graphic Artist. Most of my co-workers believed I would meet my untimely death by an X-acto knife but technology intervened, and my blood levels were restored with the conversion to desktop publishing.
Production Manager. Finally, a job that I liked and excelled at. Working on tight deadlines and to strict budgets suited my autocratic personality.
FOUR TV SHOWS I WATCH
The Sopranos
CSI

FOUR PEOPLE WHO NOW MAY CONSIDER THEMSELVES TAGGED
If I don't tag anyone does this mean evil things will happen to me?

I think basically, what your working history says about you is that dealing with the public is really a 'no-no'. Don't get me wrong, I've seen the public and totally am singing from the same songsheet.
As for not tagging anyone else, well yeah it does mean your going straight to hell but don't worry, I'm sure before long, you'll be their new production manager! :-)
