You can blame Retirement: A Full-Time Job for this meme sheepery. I guess I should have listened when some of you told me personal finance bloggers were bad influences on me ;)

Four jobs I’ve had
- My first job was shelving books at a used bookstore in my home town. The owner paid me in book trade.
- In college, I worked at the Computing and Information Services Help Desk, helping students and faculty with their computer problems. This is where I met the Boy, by the way, and also where I learned I never wanted to do tech support.
- One summer while I was in college, I worked at the Adirondak Loj in Lake Placid. It was basic grunt work. I got paid minimum wage, cleaned toilets, made beds, and lived in a tent.
- I worked for a month over summer break in college for a fulfillment company in Wilmington, MA. I spent a lot of time stuffing envelopes, entering postcards into databases, and re-reading all the Harry Potter novels.

Four movies I can watch over and over:
-Real Genius
-The Princess Bride
-Ghostbusters (incidentally, this was the first DVD I ever bought)
-Young Sherlock Holmes

Four places I have lived:
- Plattsburgh, NY
- La Rochelle, Charente-Maritime, France
- Poughkeepsie, NY
- Watertown, MA

Four TV Shows I love:
- Monk
- Psych
- Burn Notice
- Top Chef

Four places I’ve been on holiday:
- Ely, Cambridgeshire, UK
- Los Angeles, CA
- Saratoga Springs, NY
- Columbia, SC

Four of my favorite dishes:
- Veal saltimbocca
- Macaroni and cheese (as made by the Boy)
- Filet mignon with garlic mashed potatoes
- Maguro awase from Bamboo Restaurant (spicy raw tuna with fish roe, avocado, and seaweed)

Four websites visited daily:
- Gmail
- Livejournal
- Tasktoy (though I’m migrating to Remember the Milk)
- Google Reader (does this count?)

Four places I would rather be now:
- In the garden
- In bed
- In the living room of the in-law’s house in SC
- Sitting on the couch watching B5 and eating a lemonade pop

Four bloggers I’m tagging to complete this meme (I apologize in advance):
- Taking Control of Our Money
- I’ve Paid for This Twice Already
- MoneyNing
- Frugal for Life

Apologies to Richard Dawkins for misusing the word “meme” so flagrantly.
