How many jobs have you had... EVER

older polls Forum

I've had quite a few jobs, going to take me a moment to remember. I know some people that have had only one or two. Some don't even work.

I'm talking about a full time, official, on the books, paying taxes job. Not mowing lawns for $2 when you were a kid. We're talking name tags, business cards, hair nets, briefases, water coolers, fry vats, jerky bosses and stealing supplies.

Let me know how many and what some of them where, most and least favorite.

-HECK!

I've had about 8. Started working at 16, mid-20's now. Shortest was a few months, longest was almost 4 years.

I count 6.
First one was working at the movie theatre - which OF COURSE I LOVED.

then I worked doing Accts Receivable at a FUR/Leather shop. GAG. I could smell the carcass. <-------- LEAST FAVORITE

My favorite was a paid internship i had working for the film festival at home. I got to talk to all these film makers and EVEN GOT ON THE INDEPENDENT FILM CHANNEL - looking like a dweeb.

now i work doing PR - eh it's aiiiigghhttt.

My longest is.... 3 years.

I worked at fast food joint and ice cream parlor in high school, video store then a hotel while trying out college, radio station and newspaper from there. Very unique experiences.

-HECK!

I'm gonna go on a whim here and say your ACTUAL profession is................ bellman?

my favorite job, though it payed real sorry, was the Bellman job.



Talk about easy. Talk to people who are happy, because they are on vacation, see celeberties,


hang around, drive people, talk a lot, just have fun all day.



Ah, the old days.

The video store was my favorite. Sit around, easy work, had my friends work there, talk about movies and watch movies all day. Excellent. We got free food from all the other stores in the shopping center. We had that place on lock.

One time, after we closed, these chicks were banging on the door to get it. I told them we were shut down but they kept begging. Then one flashed her ta-ta's. Still didn't let them in, I had already shut the comptuers down and I had a party to go to. So basically the ta-ta's weren't that great.

-HECK!

I quit one of my hotel jobs to watch WrestleMania.

Usually I quit when something better comes along though. I've been fired twice, at my very first job and second to last job, the one for four years. That was tough.

-HECK!

Well, the one job was bogus I got fired from. That I was the boss's friend. That shows you that that guy was just a jerk.


The other one, I did hang up on the boss, but he had it coming. He was a grade a ***.



I don't regret it one bit.

sorry for the typo's, I been drinking.

I have only ever had two jobs I was in the Navy ( marines) and my current job which is a business growth analyst. I prefered the Marines it was a lot more peaceful.

my first job, being a busboy at Olive Garden was the ****iest job ever.


I have never had a job that I actually like, but the best was one summer I worked in the garden section at Kmart. Just smoked a lot of weed and did a lot of sitting around.

Keep in mind that I have not worked since 1998. First job was a receptionist for a construction company. I quit the job because the boss looked like he was going to have a stroke on a regualar basis. Job number two- teaching flute lessons. I did that for about 4 years. Then I worked at Aetna for about 5 years, then for a hospital for two months.

Besides babysitting...

my first job was checker/cashier at a grocery store when I was 14.

I worked weekends and saved enough money to go to England and France.
Parents didn't fund my way and they encouraged me to work for the things I wanted to do...
Even though my grandpa a judge and mucky muck in the town got me the job. Oh well.

hummmm.... 4
First Job was at Pizza Hut (driving and managing, count that as one job though) at 17
Then as a security guard
Then as an editor/writer for a newspaper
Now as a writer for a pro audio company
(This doesn't count any work I did for my dad's company, which I worked for every now and then, mainly data entering)

I honestly think Security is an awesome profession, but my fav job was for the newspaper. Very breezy, good pay and the alcohol flowed like water. Also they gave me a clothing allowance so I could wear kick-ass suits every day.

Man, I would gain about 100 pounds working at The Hut. I love that damn stuff.

But you know when you work in fast food for a bit you begin to really despise what ever it is you're slinging? After working at the ice cream joint I didn't eat ice cream for about three years. Couldn't stand the sight of it.
