Take Five Tuesdays - Careers

Welcome back to my new feature - Take Five Tuesdays! 

Today, we're talking about Careers - The ones you had and the ones you wish you had. 

First up, these are the career positions I achieved - not including my roles of artist and author. 

1. Director of Administration and Marketing 
2. Office Manager 
3. Pharmacy Benefits Supervisor 
4. Payables Accountant 
5. Mail Room Clerk 

I worked my way up the ladder from a cashier at a pharmacy to achieving my career goal. I am happy to now be retired and spend my time writing books and practicing my art skills.

But, these were my dream jobs.

1. Volcanologist 
2. Geologist 
3. Astronomer 
4. Veterinarian 
5. Archaeologist

I would have loved to study volcanoes, space, earth, rocks, and finding artifacts of history, and of course helping animals.

What career paths did you follow and which ones do you wish you followed?

Welcome to my new feature - Take Five Tuesdays!
On Tuesdays (holiday and weather permitted - lol) I'll feature a topic and pick my top five favourites.
I hope you'll stop by to join the fun!

Live Concerts

I love music. For me, listening to music is an escape and a way to relax. I listen to the radio while doing housework and I put earbuds in my ears and listen to some of my favourite tunes while vacuuming. Bluetooth has become my best friend, lol.

I enjoy several types of music, from classic rock, oldies, country, blues, jazz, pop, big band, sea shanties, and more!

I've been very lucky to see some of my favourite artists in concert. And while I've been to many concerts, here are my top five. 

1. Michael Buble
After a three year delay from Covid, I finally got to see him last year and tears welled up in my eyes when he stepped onto the stage. Sigh...

2. The Rolling Stones (x3)
My husband is a huge Stones fan, and they are amazing live. We've seen them three times and each concert was awesome, even the last one in the rain. No one rocks a stage like the Stones.

3. Blue Rodeo (x2)
These guys are awesome, and I know the words to almost all of their songs!

4. Heart
My two nieces took me to this concert, which was a rocking good time!

5. Van Halen
My very first live concert. My brother and sister-in-law (his girl friend back then) took me to this concert because I was in love with Eddie Van Halen. I wrote the VH logo all over my school scribblers, lol. Great night, great music, and I got to see Eddie!

What are your top favourite live concerts?
