Hahaha I don't have too many complaints here. Free services is a decent perk I must say!

I guess my perk would be free meals, but that is from the chow hall so it's one of those at your own peril kind of things.

Oh, I was a stocker at Albertsons. I forgot about that one. We had to run through the aisles while pushing a dolly loaded to the hilt. I almost took out an old lady one time and decided it wasn't for me and quit.

I feel bad that I wrote a silly post, and shortly thereafter the Café was broken. I know that it was in fact Salguod's fault, but that didn't stop me from feeling guilty, so here it goes.
1. Professional mower of lawns. 2. Janitor 3. Gas station attendant. This was back in the full service days: I could check your tire pressure and your oil and fix your tires and wash your windshields. I was very good at it, and got promoted to... 4. Assistant Night Manager of H&H Car and Truck Rentals, Waipahu, HI. Actually, this was the gas station I worked at. But for my diligence and excellence, I got to wash the cars and trucks that the gas station rented. I also got promoted to work the night shift by myself (or with a second peon, of whom I was--at the age of 18--in charge). 5. Student, student, and student. I was on scholarship, so I thought that I needed to study as if studying was my job. 6. Stationary Salesman. Again, I was good at it (I'm still obsessed with stationary), so I got promoted to work in outside sales, which I was not good at at all. So I got demoted to working back on the the inside, which suited me just fine. 7. College professor. That's it. I have worked a lot, but not at lot of different jobs. |

Exactly, Bill. I was a stationary salesman of stationery. I said that outside sales didn't suit me.
(Seriously, you always catch me on these things. Maybe I should submit my posts to you privately before I post them.) |
