More additions to the resume...

I haven't posted in a while because I have been very busy accumulating new skills and roles here at BG to further diversify my resume. What might those skills and roles be you ask? They are some of the most coveted skills and titles employers are looking for and I will list them exactly how I have listed them on my resume:

1. OFFICIAL JUDGE OF A 30 HOUR CAROUSEL-RIDING COMPETITION.

I served as official judge for Seaport Village's 30th Anniversary event-- 30 people riding a carousel for 30 hours to win $10,000. This was a very prestigious position-- my primary job was to ensure that nobody barfed. I was also in charge of enforcing the no sleeping, no leaning, no eating, no drinking rules for all 30 riders.

This was a really fantastic event that received a lot of media attention for Seaport. Tons of people came down to cheer on the contestants and Mr. Mark Papenfuss of La Mesa, California took home a giant $10,000 check. It was amazing to see how much time, effort, and attention to detail goes into planning a contest like this.

2. OFFICE GARDEN-GROWER.

Spent hours of time planting words out of flower and radish seeds in prepartion for an event next year. I now have an extensive knowledge of stenciling, planting, gardening, germination, etc. I also have a newfound respect for anyone in the topiary business because I have learned that it is damn hard to make plants cooperate enough to spell things. Despite the difficulty, these are going to turn out really great and are such a unique idea.

3. PROFESSIONAL HALLO-WINER.

I have recently joined the marketing committee for Home Start San Diego, a great organization that helps prevent family abuse and provides assistance to improve parenting. On Tuesday, I attended their annual Hallo-wine event fundraiser, which was a huge success for the organization. There was a great selection of wines to taste, great appetizers, and fabulous gift baskets to bid on. I also discovered the greatest appetizer idea of all time- little grilled cheesies perched on the rim of a martini glass full of tomato soup. Brilliant. (And check out Home Start's blog) 

4. OFFICE DECORATOR.

Melina and I got to spend the afternoon Halloween decoration shopping, and we are making sure that the last Halloween in this office building is the best one. We bought a severed arm, some bloody shower curtains, spiderwebs, skeletons, and bags of candy to make BG as festive and frightening as possible...
