A MEME OF FOUR'S

My friend Michael over at Popcultureinstitute http://popcultureinstitute.blogspot.com
has challenged me to a meme about "4's". Seems a good way to pass away another afternoon indoors where I've been recuperating from a nasty chest cold that has laid me low for a week now. So here goes: and I might challenge you too!

FOUR JOBS I'VE HAD:
1. scraping carrots in a cannery (my first job, age 16. lasted til the first payday then I left. Never ate another canned carrot after that!)
2. copy-runner in the editorial department of the Vancouver Sun. Had dreams of becoming a crime reporter. Ended up in charge of crime files in the news library. Best job ever!
3. file clerk in the office of a moving/storage company. Ditto. Boring! (left cause I was pregnant)
4. Daycare supervisor in various inner city daycares/preschools. Finally retired after more than 33 years.

FOUR MOVIES I COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER
1. Shirley Valentine (She's my gal!)
2. Hideous Kinky (loved those kids and it was even more precious as it was a true story)
3. Under the Sheltering Sky
4. Alexander (in spite of critics, I've seen it 3 times and just bought the DVD)

FOUR PLACES I'VE LIVED
1. I was born in Estevan but remember Lloyminster Sask. the most
