List the jobs you've had
    #5909253 -

...in order. Maybe a blurb about them too.

Mine:

Reptile handler -- Horrible experience, quit very quickly

Grocery clerk -- Monotonous, pleasureless; nothing is ever accomplished. Destroys a person's soul.

Web developer -- Not for me

Housekeeper -- Thankless, low-paying hard work

Surveyor/Engineering tech -- Current job. I like it a lot.

I'd be interested to see what you all have done in your years.

burger king
then arbys
then back to burger king for a little bit
then eegees

then i said fuck that fast food shit and did construction

then that fell through and i went back to fast food, burger king
then taco bell
then i got a job i really liked for a while, working for a guy who puts together and maintains the weight rooms for the high schools and apartment complexes and shit around here. he hired his son in law and had to "let me go" to make some room for him.  :smirk: what ever....

then i went back to burger king (i never learn from my mistakes.) honestly though, i never like going without a job, and all i have to do in a bind is walk into any burger king and lay down my experience....hired on the spot. it sucks balls but its some cash in my pocket and  im only there till i find something better/different.

currently doing landscaping. love it. although the sun can kiss my ass everyday around 2 pm this time of year, i enjoy being outside and not having to deal with people.

Saw it on a job bank:

Experience: None required
Rate of pay: $30 per 3-hour show.

I did the math and figured it was $10 an hour. Not bad when minimum wage was $5.40. It turns out a three-hour show takes about 5 hours of work. And shitty work at that.

I only did one show. My boss and I took a vanful of snakes and bearded dragons to an elementary school classroom. My job on the way there was to crouch in the back of the van (which was kept at ninety-five degrees to keep the snakes comfortable), surrounded by coolers each containing a python or a boa constrictor (ranging from three to ten feet in length.) My boss didn't lock the coolers because the snakes would stress themselves out by banging their heads on the lid.

So here I am, crouched in this scorching hot van, pouring sweat, with fucking pythons popping their heads up all around me (I had only held one or two snakes at that point in my life) and I'm trying to guide them back into their boxes.

When we arrive, we brought the animals to a tiny classroom with fifty screaming kids in it, also heated to ninety-something. My boss drops a python on my shoulders and tells me to show the kids. I wander into the kids and half them are screaming, half crying, half over-excited. Meanwhile the snake is crawling down my back and wrapping the tip of its tail around my upper thigh, elliciting more screams from the kids.

Three hours of this and then another damn van ride home. I told him I quit the next time he called.

Inventory Clerk -- I had to work graveyard shift and listen to soft rock while I counted inventory for various different stores, but all-in-all, it wasn't so bad. I managed to pull off the hours by taking a couple capsules of dexedrine before work.

Intern -- I worked for the state water board doing data entry and various other tasks around the office. It was a pretty chill job with pretty good pay, but I didn't really relate to my co-workers very well. My boss fired me for some bullshit reason. It was later discovered that she was a sexist bitch who fired every male that worked for her.

Ride Operator -- I worked at a family amusement park operating rides and making minimum wage. I worked there during the summer while going to college. I got along great with some of my co-workers for a while, but each year I came back, there would be different people working there. By the time I finished college, I figured I was too old to back again.

Janitor -- My current job. I really need to find something else. It fucking sucks.


There are a couple other things that weren't really jobs that I put on my resume anyway to look more important.

I work at a nursery.. and have for more than 6 years.. really the only job I've ever had. Well it's flexible enough where I can come and go throughout the year, and I like driving a golf cart around.

Page at local library - put books away, not bad, gave me headaches
Burger King - Loved it, but quit because I needed more money
CVS - Photo Tech, then Photo Supervisor, then District Photo supervisor... Yeah, corporate America absolutely sucks and I'll never do it again.

I'm now the graphic designer at Classic Elite Yarns. I'm also designing knit and crochet garments freelance which I submit to books and magazines. (see website below) shameless plug...  :tongue2:

Being my Grandmother's helper:  My Grandmother was married to this CEO guy.  They were loaded and she had several horses.  For about two months (during one my summer breaks) I was her "helper" with the horses.  I cleaned their stalls, fed them, etc..  I had to wake up at 7:00 each morning and I fucking hate horses (and they don't seem to like me either).  It was tolerable...but I was kind of glad she didn't ask me back the next summer.

Machine fixer at a bowling alley  SUCKED.  SUCKED.  OH my God it SUCKED.  The pins were held up by little strings that were hooked to a machine.  Sometimes these suspended pins would get tangled and I would have to untangle them.  99% of the time was spent sitting there doing nothing.  That back area was like a time warp...when I was there time went 100 times slower than usual.  The bowlers would get all licquored up and scream at the ball.  The old lady league couldn't even knock the pins down they were so physically weak (I would have to run over and remove the ball because it was stuck in the middle of the pins....because the ball didn't have enough momentum to knock them down).  I didn't go in one day and I didn't notify anybody.  Nobody liked me after that.  I just kind of stopped going.

Grocery store bag-boy:  Fucking sucked the big one.  I hated it and I constantly tried to get away from the front area to go hide in the back.  I would get stoned every day before I went in.  I have newfound respect for bag people when I go through the checkout.  The job is utterly boring, utterly low-paying, and infuriating at times.  What a shit job.

Warehouse worker:  When there was work to be done it sucked.  It was dirty and hot.  But, our supervisor let us slack and play on the internet all day.  We were supposed to be there for eight hours, yet I would come in two hours late and leave two hours early.  The pay was shit but could I complain?  I was getting paid for forty hours a week...and I did practically nothing.  I milked it for as long as possible.

Supervisor at a skateboard factory:  Decent pay.  My first "real" job.  Completely monotonous.  Full of stress.  I quit after several years.

Running my own computer business:  Great pay.  I usually worked from home and it was easy.  I loathe computers though.  I ran my business for two years and then shut it down because I could stand it anymore.

Right now I don't work.  :smile:
