Anyway, I was getting ready to go out tonight and was thinking about work (because that's fun to do on a Friday) while in the shower. More specifically I was thinking about work in 2014. I got fired from my job back in February 2014, so since then I have been doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that and a little bit of nothing sometimes too. But where my thoughts were aimed was trying to answer when someone says, "What do you do?" (which is what everybody inevitably loves to do when they first meet someone).
In 2014 I did the following for money:
- Worked at my long-time job (then fired)
- Coached rowing
- Raised bees/sold honey
- Sold a photograph to a corporate office to hang on their wall
- Dog sat
- Hosted at a model home
- Data entry into a CMS database
- Edited documents and web site
- Sold books
- Worked at an auction house
- Created marketing e-mails
Really nothing ground-breaking but also not really to present when asked that annoying "What do you do?" Strange year, that 2014. We'll see if I can either find something new and easier to explain to others or figure out a way to package up my freelance/contract occupational lifestyle for easier 3rd party consumption in 2015.
I'm doubting neither will happen.
