My checkered past...
A comedy conversation

I was recently talking to my sister about some job I had, and she said, "How many jobs have you had, anyway?" She made me write a list of all my jobs. I think this is all of them:
1. craft store clerk
2. book store clerk
3. secretary to art school vice-president (work-study)
4. temporary office worker
5. shoe store clerk
6. book store clerk
7. janitor
8. radio station receptionist (work-study)
9. plant store clerk
10. clothing store clerk
11. book store clerk
12. clothing store clerk
13. shoe department supervisor
14. book store clerk
15. hardware supply receptionist
16. accounts receivable clerk
17. bookkeeper at a print shop
18. clothing store clerk
19. bank teller
20. computer operator
21. student center desk person (work-study)
22. clothing store clerk
23. airport newsstand clerk
24. bookstore clerk
25. legal secretary/office manager
26. clothing store clerk
27. bookkeeper/secretary
28. apartment building manager
29. self-employed artisan
30. self-employed interior painter
31. Home Depot associate
32. tampon factory worker
33. Home Depot associate/kitchen designer
In my defense, I worked more than one job most of the time; sometimes three jobs.
I've never been a waitress or a prostitute.
I've never been fired, either.
Surprisingly.
Can anyone beat my record?

2) Apple picker (for one week. $.50 per bushel. I think I made a dollar)
3) Dishwasher (6 months)
4) Burger King (4 1/2 years)
5) Bellboy at the Sheraton Tara Hotel. I was hired but never actually worked there once I saw the beefeater uniform I was required to wear. (this was during my time at BK)
7) Stock boy, Zayre Department Store. Lasted a week. So soul-crushing it made Burger King look like a dream job. (during BK)
8) "System Administrator/Programmer", Babson College. This was a co-op job during high school. They told me I'd be programming COBOL but all they had me do was run around campus matching random keys up to computer security locks. I quit after two weeks.
9) Assistant tech at a computer store. I formatted 20mb hard drives in Hyundai and Leading Edge 8088 PCs (during tech school)

9) PC Field Service tech. My first "real" job and beginning of my career. For five years I drove around New England, mostly Boston and Providence, fixing PCs. This was back in "the day" so I got a great introduction to classic PC hardware such as the original Compaq Portable, HP LJ 1 and 2, IBM PC, XT, and AT, Early IBM PS2s (model 30, 60, 55sx, etc), Bernoulli Boxes, Seagate ST-225 Hard Drives, and DOS 2.0. It was a great job with an awesome company for three years and then it all turned to Shakespeare when the president started snorting the profits up his nose and eventually sold us out to a company who immediately installed an HR guy. I jumped ship shortly after that happened.
10) Hardware tech at the hospital I work at now. I was basically hired to do in-house what they were paying my old company to do. My old company almost sued me for taking the job but the guy who hired me had friends in high places at the other hospitals they did business with so they eventually gave up. Worked this job for two years.
11) Current job, which has evolved somewhat in the nine years I've worked here. Started as an admin for some Novell (v. 3.2, I think?) servers and eventually converted over to NT/2000/2003, some DBA, and some financial application support.

Oh, and I have a friend whose job for the summer is to sit on a stool and watch a conveyor belt of Tostitos salsa jar lids go by to check them for dents. Any with dents, he pulls of the conveyor belt and puts in a basket. He does this for 10 hours a day, with two fifteen minute breaks and one half hour lunch break all freakin day.
If I were him, I would have either gone blind by now, or would have completely snapped after week 5 and ran through the factory smashing jars and pouring salsa and cheese all over myself while screaming, "SOOOO SHINY!! LIDS SO SHIIIIIINNNNNYYYYYY!!!!"

There was an old couple that lived in the house behind me, and I "treated them with respect". They gave me the keys to their house so that I could watch the place for them while they were on vacation.

When I was about 11 I volunteered at a nursing home. I didn't have to do anything gross, and was there to just keep them company. I became very close with this old woman named Bridie, whose family never visited her and it made me very sad.
So anyway, I wanted to do something nice for her, so I went and bought her a necklace. It wasn't diamonds or anything, but it was a nice silver one with an angel charm, and I spent a lot of money on it for my age. I gave it to her, and she was so happy, and she put it on immediately. The director of the home knew I had given her a present, and so she came in the room and complimented Bridie on her beautiful necklace while I sat there and beamed.
But then, the old coot starts babbling on about how her mother had given her the necklace, and it had been in her family for generations. I was like, "You Frostin' liar!" I didn't mean to say it, but I was young and really upset and it just sort of burst out of me.
I stopped visting the home for a while because I felt so bad. When I came back, I learned the unfortunate news that Bridie had passed. I was really sad that things had ended the way they did, but I learned a valuable lesson from that experience: God hates liars.

I sense you didnt make alot of money in sales then.
I didn't make much, period.
But that's ok because I diddled his daughter on his bed, with his porn on the tv, with her in her mother's neglige (sp?) and after she got herself ready with her mother's 'toy'.

When she was 5, her real biological father (her stepfather had raised her since she was 3 or so) and his female cousin got stoned on some beach at a state park, then told her not to turn around. They made animal noises.

Most of my jobs have been fun - Theatre School Teacher, Daycare Assistant, Manager of an Art Gallery/Studio Shop/Econo Museum, Museum Student Curator. Unfortunately, in addition to this, I have worked for three different Tim Horton's in my home town. Three. Count 'em. Un, deux, trois. Three different stores, three different summers. The last one had drive-through and I have vowed never to work for a Tim Horton's again.

I'd like to deny it, but sadly, it's partially true. Actually, I once got a very substantial tip (more the cost of the coffee he was buying) because I had "the most beautiful drive-through voice" some guy had ever heard. Apparently, my voice is "really quite lovely and so refreshing."
Very coincidentally, later that night he delivered pizza to a party I was making an appearance at after my shift ended, he recognised me, we chatted for a bit, and my friends who paid him didn't tip him at all. He never tipped me at the window again.

Millie,
Just checking in to see if you've added to your job list since this post.
If you haven't added to your job list, how's it going with designing kitchens?! Sounds like a cool job. Did you share your own kitchen design with them on your interview? You have the wildest looking kitchen I've ever seen! I love the tile work.
If you have moved on, Frost Home Depot. You're way better than that. What are you up to these days?
Take care,
Jean

p.s. I, and every single person I worked with at the tampon factory, and every person who ever worked there, have heard every possible stupid joke that could ever be told about tampons. None of them have ever been funny enough to endure hearing them over and over again.
I'm just sayin'...
