Work or Volunteer Positions That I Liked

Looking back over my life, were there any types of work (paid or unpaid), that I mostly enjoyed? Here's the list:
- Working for two underground/alternative newspapers in the 70's- I wrote articles and poetry, and did layout/pasteup
- Cleaning hotel rooms. I liked the fact that I could think about whatever I wanted to while I was working, and it was good exercise.
- Being a Resource Assistant at the Women's Studies Union at the University when I was 18.

The next one is 30 years later....
- Volunteering at the Emergency Food Program. I planted and maintained the vegetable garden to provide produce for people in need.

And then.....
-Volunteering at the Humane Society. They let me hang out with the animals any time I want. I'm there about 3 or 4 days each week. Sometimes even more.

I'm not afraid of dogs.


I also like to proofread term papers and essays for my friend who is from Japan; she's in an MFA program, and the papers she writes are fascinating: art history, comparative cultures, social issues, and other interesting topics.
