My life in T-shirts: Ask Me About My Cat - Legalize Frostitution - Death Before Decaf. You get the idea. I enjoy lint-rolling, bons mots, magazine launch parties (if I was invited), paying too much for groceries, and the occasional semicolon. I'm a copy editor at The News Tribune, but I won't correct your grammar at the bar. Contact me at kelly.davenport@thenewstribune.com.

...lives in Seattle (so you don’t have to) with her cat Peanut Zeta-Jones. The self-proclaimed “Webmeister” of TheNewsTribune.com, Laura spends her spare time driving on I-5, sifting through estate sales, writing songs about Miss Zeta-Jones and wishing she was somewhere else regardless of where she is. You can reach her at laura.gentry@thenewstribune.com, but it’s in your best interest not to.

Meet Jessi Favors, a barista at Hot Chick-a-Latte in Spanaway.

She wrote an op-ed earlier this week responding to the pitchfork-toting soccer moms who just don't get that she's not serving coffee in her knickers because she wants your husband. She's doing it because she wants your husband's money.

At any rate, we salute Jessi and others who brave the cold and risk the chance of a steam wand malfunction to deliver superior service (and not, we stress, in the Thomas Chelone-the-excited-RV-guy sense of the word.)

In celebration, we've compiled a list of jobs that would not be possible if your uniform was an apron and a smile. Please feel free to add your own.

Racoon catcher
Trapeze acrobat
Blackberry bramble remover
Yoga instructor
Firefighter
Bullrider
