Many jobs over many years
I got thinking about all the jobs I've held over the years. From one-shot day work to lengthy assignments to free-lance projects, I've had a lot. Probably no more than anyone else, mind you, but here's what I could remember:- Laborer (Three or four days of work digging ugly dead bushes out of a farm)
- Farmhand (One week long while the farmer was on vacation)
- Video Rental Clerk (For three or four years)
- Cashier (At various times for various companies)
- Stock Picker (Three or four weeks for a pet supply mail-order company)
- Store Stocker (For a few months)
- Store Disassembler (For about a month after place I worked for closed)
- Copy Editor (Three years one place, one year another and from 1997 to now)
- News Editor (Three years now)
- Projectionist (For six months at a $2-Dollar theater)
- Writer (Free-lance assignments and currently)
- Dishwasher (For two years while at college)
- Steak Cooker (For a semester — I don't know how I got that job. My steaks were horrible!)
- Cartoonist (Free-lance assignments)
- Mural Maker (Three times now)
So, what sort of jobs have you done in your life?
