... and now I'VE been tagged!
My blogging bro Cherenkov has tagged me in one of those viral tagging games that are going around (no vaccination for that, either)!
Now, I love questionnaires 'cause I get to show the worldwhat a jerk I am my human side, so with that in mind...
”It’s simple. Just list all the jobs you’ve had in your life, in order. Don’t bust your brain: no durations or details are necessary, and feel free to omit anything that you feel might tend to incriminate you. I’m just curious. And when you’re done, tag another five bloggers you’re curious about.”
Let's see... the jobs I've had, in chronological order:
Inventory Clerk - counted parts for a local bus manufacturer on my summer vacation. Highlight: Making $15/hr when I was 16 (ca. 1989).
Restaurant worker - went from busperson to manager to line cook. Highlight: my coworkers and some regular customers.. plus working in a buffet restaurant in the North End meant there was never a dull moment.
Assembly line worker - my first union job at a local farm equipment manufacturer. Highlight: My coworkers - especially the time we built a potato cannon in the parking lot out of discarded pipe and fittings!
Technical Support person - briefly worked the help desk for a computer manufacturer. I lasted four hours before getting fed up with questions from the computer-illiterate and walked out.
Warehouse Worker - went from lowly warehouse grunt to warehouse supervisor to implementation co-ordinator (setting up other warehouses in the USA) for an American fastener company. Highlight: My coworkers, and picking on my boss a lot (in jest, of course!).
Warehouse Worker - Briefly worked at an international courier company (my second and final union job), unloading trucks, sorting shipments, and moving boxes. I lasted two hours before getting absolutely disgusted with the lack of work ethic (and care) of my coworkers and walked out.
Current job - started as warehouse worker, moved up to warehouse supervisor, later promoted to inside sales. Highlight: my coworkers, most of our regular customers, and the fact there's never a dull moment!

Thanks a lot! Now one of us is punching the other in the head trying to get him to commit to partake in this insidious game of "show me"! Oops, Smart Arse is now crying. Apparently he's (unrealistically) fearful he will be exposed. Well, we will see what happens after this editorial meeting?
ReplyDeleteGood thing it's Sunday - football & beer always make our weekly editorial gathering more interesting!
Sorry, I couldn't decide which one of you I liked more (?) so I tagged you as a pair ;)
ReplyDeleteFootball and beer always makes things more interesting. I'm partial to beer and football (soccer) myself!
I'm glad you tagged the Priestess. She must have an interesting career path. I hope she answers the call.
ReplyDeleteShe and I have been friends for about a decade. She is definitely an interesting person!
