I’ve had a ton of jobs. All but one being crappy, menial, grunt work. All but two, maybe. Maybe three. I don’t know. I’ve had so many there is no way I’ll remember them all while writing this.
- I was on the clean up crew for an organization that ran a weekly BINGO game. I was 14 when I started and by the time I was 18 (I think) I was in charge of it
- I worked part time as a groundkeeper/janitor while I was in high school
- I was a loader at the UPS Northern New England Hub
- I worked for Northeast Broadcasting School supervising student access to the audio recording facility
- I worked at a sporting goods retail chain’s warehouse as the guy who processed all of the non-clothing item returns
- I had a bunch of temp jobs including working for a moving company and a pet supply mail order chain as an order picker/packer
- I worked as a long term temp in the shipping and receiving office of a company that sold medical devices. Anesthesia delivery units, to be precise. I was there three summers in a row and the last summer I was in charge of the department.
- I worked for a lab in the computer science department of UMass Lowell. My “job” was to put on a talk show on the campus radio station, WULM 91.5 FM. The rest of the time my “job” was to have a place to do my home work.
- My first job out of college (the last time) was a programmer/analyst for a software company that makes systems used by hospitals. Nine years later I was promoted to supervisor. In two months I’ll have my 20th anniversary with the company
That’s the gist of it. I’m sure I forgot a few things along the way. I was a janitor more than once, but I am not going back in to edit the list now. I hope you are fascinated by my endless string of less-than employment.
