Jobs you have held...

I started working way early.. I was the kid in the neighborhood who went to your door asked to rake-clean-sweep your yard for cheap.. infact I had a crew with me.. not too many Navy moms could resist a kid who will clean up the yards.. We made BANK when it snowed.. (bank was about 2$ per yard.. but it gave me the desire to work and get money to buy crap my folks refused too..

age 13 I worked for the St of CT as a seaweed disposal tech.. (we got paid to walk out in a shallow ocean cove that a local factor had spilled something in that made the seaweed flourish... did this for the entire summer of 1983) we did get to keep all the crab and other ocean edibles we drug up in the net.... a week later a lady was swimming there and got cought up the seaweed and drown...

Age 14 Spent the summer again working for the St of CT (summers youth program) cleaning up old cemeteries.. learned how to do grave stone rubbings with charcoal.. all of the cemeteries were 1800's and earlier.

Started picking rocks in the fields when I was 9 then did all other kinds of farm chores as I got older.

From 18 to 22 I worked in a fabrication shop and did everything from painting to welding.

During all this I was also remodeling and flipping houses with my father.

This reminds me, I bet lawn guys run into a lot of plants. My lawn guys saw mine all the time but luckily they were out of the chopping zone. "Non legal state"

When I was 18 I worked as a dog agitator in a kennel. They were mostly Sheriff's dogs.

usher at a theater, deli walmart, goodwill,safeway and worked for a dude who would tell us he got paid 3 grand the previous day and smoked it all away or it was going to his car in the yard yet he couldnt pay a homeless dude or one legger. God will have his revenge on that man.

Jack of all trades and a master of none.

American Drew Furniture, NC- Assembly line, I placed a dab of ink on fake dowel pins I lasted 3hrs.

Had this job as a general custodian at this shithole where they make electronic circuits and all that.

Got fired after one week because they found a certified cleaner. Was stoned off my ass when I was fired. asked if I was still getting my paycheck then walked out the door laughing to myself.....Primarily because I hadn't done fuck-all there and robbed them of $680 or so dollars.

Bought an ounce or something with the paycheck. Had a good laugh

I've had quite a few crazy jobs.Here's one.Just after HS I stripped and waxed floors at multiple Sears stores.We'd get locked in over night.I got my gf a job w/me and the rest of our buds.We'd eat acid,drink beer and screw in the beds.Sometimes we'd re arrange the furniture around the big tvs and watch some tv.We rallied.My other buddy was the regional manager so he;d get all the complaints.Oh what laughs we would have.That is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to screwin over the man.
ps lots of times we did no work,just got fucked up.lol

ahh crapola.. forgot I was a newspaper boy for the New London Day!

16-18 supermarket, first at the register (fuck everything about that), then in produce (if i could live on the wage i'd work there for life)
18-present various call centers, (telemarketing, customer service, inbound sales, etc). good pay if you don't mind being a toilet.

in the middle somewhere i worked in a machine shop as a second job. not the big machines, just secondaries. if i could live on that wage i'd do it forever. 10 hour shifts, 3 days off, and i didn't have to make eye contact with a single soul all day. so basically heaven. gave me horrible adult acne, though, and i have pretty good skin. i also developed a death grip for a while and could crush a beer can into a tiny hard ball in about 7 seconds. it was nice.
