4. What I Learned from Theater Lighting by Sam Brougher who not only has some interesting lessons from working lights for The Wizard of Oz, but lists his job history and pay scale for each. The psychology of rumors pays better than landscaping.
5. What I Learned from My Two Weeks as a Tomato by Thursday Bram who wins the award for coolest name. She learned that “other people won’t find your tomato suit — or other gimmicks — nearly as embarrassing as you will.”

8. My Non-Entry to MZMs ‘What I Learned from Odd Jobs’ by Karen H. who has a great blog that I used to visit all the time. But one thing led to another, and we lost touch. Time to fix that.
9. What I Learned from Odd Jobs by Jackie Cameron who wasn’t afraid to stand up for herself when the bank asked her to do something that was dangerous.
10. Lessons Learned in Strange Places by Sally Apokedak who once worked for the Anchorage Inventory Service and endured some truly horrendous weather. Sally posted some GREAT PICTURES so go check it out.
