My Friday Four

There's a fun little meme making it's way around the DOC.  I first saw it on Scully's blog, and most recently on Tina's.  I thought I'd take part just to keep the writing process flowing.  It's not terribly exciting, but it's something... right?

I stole this from Tina who took it from Laddie's blog

1. Four names people call me other than my real name. 

Jo - There are some people out there who are unaware my full name is Joanne.  People always refer to my husband and I as "Fred and Jo".  People who have heard about us, but never met us think we are actually a gay couple.

Joey - What Fred mostly calls me.

Jo-Jo - A few friends call me this.

Moooooooooom! - Self explanitory

2. Four Jobs I’ve Had 

This one is a little hard since I technically "retired" at the age of 23 (that's what I call it when one moves to a country and isn't permitted to work).  Here goes anyway...

Bank CSR - This was my first job out of high school.  I took a break for a year and found I really enjoyed it.  I kept the job on and off throughout school.

My other three main jobs were in radio:

Promotions Girl
Weekend Producer
Morning Show Producer

Wow... that's some short resume.
