> > Ah, yes. Jobs. I remember those. I am currently on an unemployed streak that has run some 14 years now, but I have worked as a bellhop, dishwasher, grocery bagger, pin setter, bread truck loader, paper boy, desk clerk, painter, factory worker, tobacco patch measurer, driver, teacher, principal, waiter, janitor, proof reader, reporter, editor, soldier, sales clerk, janitor, antique dealer, baby sitter, yard man, and probably a few other things I have forgotten. I never did any jobs that you could call weird, but sometimes I did them weirdly.

> My list isn't nearly as impressive as yours, but I've had a few less years to work on that you have. Let's see... I have worked as a landscaper, grocery bagger, floor care specialist, cashier, cook, janitor, dishwasher, plastic injection mold packer, busboy, food server, meat carver, book binder, book packer, graphic artist, graphic designer, and web designer. So far. I don't think I left anything out. But I only included jobs I actually got paid for. I have done quite a bit of baby sitting, but not for hire.

I'm sure I left out a few. I worked in my uncle's sporting goods store where I sold fishing tackle, swept the floor, washed the front window every single day, stocked the coke machine, repaired fishing reels, made deliveries, kept the stock looking neat (Is there a name for that?), cleaned guns, painted the walls, and who knows what else. I had other jobs like that. At the Daily News Journal, I was a reporter, swept the floor, serviced linotype machines, served as a substitute proof reader, ran ad copy, checked the police beat, poured pigs, cleaned the press, loaded circulars into trucks, worked the city desk, and just about anything else that needed to be done. I loved it, but it didn't pay very well.
