This topic has been inspired by and pirated from velvetknuckle's journal. Yarrrrr! ::sails away in pirate ship::
There's something very cathartic about sharing who you are, what you're doing and what you've done. Sharing is always nice, isn't it? ::cough cough:: ::hint hint:: Geez, I'm such a voyeur. I'm one of those creepy people who likes to look into open windows when I walk by on the street. Peeping into someone's life is fascinating. It's like a little storybook.
Looking back on all the things I've done, I realize FUCK, I HAVE done a lot. It helps me appreciate my accomplishments, which is not one of my strong suits. Ah, the curse of the perfectionist. We're never satisfied with what we do.
So, for your voyeuristic pleasure, or your complete boredom, here's a little ditty about what I've done/am doing/will do for a living. (And yes, V., I absolutely cut and pasted a huge portion of this from my comment in your journal. So sue me, I'm feeling lazy.)
For the last five years, I worked full-time as a professional Mistress. It's exciting, fulfilling, demanding, frustrating, terrifying, tiring, entertaining, adventurous and exhilirating all in one. I have learned about myself and grown in ways that I never suspected would happen when I started. These years have been enjoyable, turbulent and often painful, but I would not change what I have done. Nor do I plan on leaving the professional or lifestyle scene, but I do plan on (and have) changed the distribution. Mistressing, I'm convinced, is a job best enjoyed when it is not the sole source of income. Thus, it is all about the fun and adventures and not all about the money.
Now I'm a part-time professional Mistress and a full-time graduate student studying my Masters in Experimental Psychology. Muahahaha! So then I can REALLY fuck with people's heads! My current interests are in social and clinical psychology, particularly self-objectification, sex and gender issues. Haha, what a surprise, eh. Eventually, money, time and energy allowing, I will go on for my PhD in Clinical Psychology (another 5 years, eek!) I figure I should probably be done with school, fellowships, etc, by the time I'm 50. Yikes!
It's a good thing I have plenty of asses on which to take out my academic frustration.
What else have I done.... For a brief nanosecond, after I graduated college, I worked for a pharmaceutical drug packaging company as a compendial product analyst. <-- Big fancy words for = chemist. It was a great job. Good benefits. Nice boss. Opportunity for vertical and horizontal moves. (Hum, sounds dirty.) The big fun = I got to play with explosive chemicals and needles AND got paid for it. Woohoo! I also quickly realized I wasn't yet cut out for 9-5. Only 10 vacation days a YEAR? I don't think so! Besides, I look terrible in khakis. And that white lab coat just didn't make the fashion muster.
I've been teaching riding lessons, dressage and jumping, since I was 14. Worked for a year at a private girls academy for girls who were kicked out of all the other private girls academies. I'm still amazed that I didn't murder any of the brats. Worked for 6 months at a national training facility until I realized A) the head trainer was a heroin addict (how the hell she could afford it on our salary is still a mystery) and B) I LOVE horses, but not 24/7, 365. It's not so fun to rise at 4am to get someone else's horse ready for a show and then have them bitch at you because one tinsy weensy braid is crooked. Bleck.
Other jobs...other jobs...::wracking brain::...oh yes! Durr. How could I not mention this one. For 3 1/2 years I worked at a BDSM sex shop. What a blast! There's something very fulfilling about selling someone their first dildo. Very, very fulfilling. Plus, I got paid to "test out" the hand cuffs and bullwhips on people. And lace up pretty girls (and boys) into corsets. Ya gotta watch out for me behind the corset strings. I'll lace you within an inch of your life. Too bad retail became so damn frustrating. It wasn't really the customers, it was the management and certainly no small amount of my burnout. Ah well, some good things are destined to come to a tragic end.
I think that about wraps up the big ones. Of course there have been the occasional waitressing jobs. My one stint as a secretary (and a damn sexy secretary I was!). Nude model (eeeew, creepy college professor). Go-go dancer (fun, fun, fun!) College tour guide (and on the left is where everyone likes to have sex, and on the right is where everyone likes to get high...)
Damn. I've done a lot. Is it time to retire yet???
