  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

What kind of work have you did in your life?

That's funny: I already posted on this topic when I was a member some years ago...
22-25 sold school textbooks
21 to the present give private lessons. Also taught at private academies some years
23 to the present work as a musician
 
Lets see. . .

I've picked tobacco and worked in a textile mill.

A number of year in the USN.

Since I've been in Canada, I've been employed in the Oil and Gas industry, both here, and abroad.

I am currently looking for work; I occupy the time by volunteering at the Foodbank, and taking whatever work I can find. . .
 
The story is quite lengthy... I should tell you... but I can't ...too much pain.

No real job now for years. Nobody seems to want to hire me.
 
TEENAGER (two or three different years): temporary work picking strawberries.
@18: filling orders (for pharmacies, corner grocery stores, etc.) for candy and tobacco:
3 months or so
@19: bagger at an A & P grocery store (3 months) **HI Sausy!**
@20: box factory work (moving cardboard sheets on floats, etc.)
for 3 months I think.
@21: worked for a moving company (North American Van Lines
franchise) for 2 months. I HATED THAT JOB!!!!
@22: Auditor for a computer (mainframe)
time-sharing company.*** 4 months, then I was laid off; company was
failing from mismanagement and bad accounting, etc. (The guy who fired
me also QUIT on the same day, and he formed his own accounting firm.)
Immediately segued into 8 weeks of work, again, at the box factory.
@23 (just shy of): Seamlessly segued into a job with the government.
The only time between these two jobs was a weekend.
I was able to quit the factory JUST IN TIME to avoid the dreaded Third Shift.
Shifts alternated for 4 weeks at a time.
The government job was an auditor in the Department of Defense.
I looked at the line-by-line cost of...*WEAPONS*.
Specifically, the hardware for unmanned cruise missiles.
I audited the procurement process as well; were there proper competing bids, etc.?
Do I have the liberty of considering 7:30 to 4PM as an "eight hour day?" Good.
I'll take that liberty even if you don't give it to me.
In that case, I had that job for 8 YEARS, 8 DAYS, AND 8 HOURS.
PAST 37 YEARS: I've been selling old records, almost
strictly 45-RPM, through the mail. I may still have 4-5 years left, doing this.
 
non-serious answers
Working on a poultry farm taking blind turkeys out to shit.
Doing price checks at the dollar store.
A girl i knew, really fat, wanted to work at lovers package doing demonstrations.
But ive worked in a couple call centers, then retail for 8 years if u have seen the stupid customer thread, now a sophomore at a state colllege.
 
This is for the stars on the @22 entry, which aren't red (but are supposed to be):

***This is a rather archaic concept nowadays. Businesses, mostly ones with at least more than "a few" employees, would rent mainframe time so that they could have their records on databases and process the information, get printouts, etc. This being in 1970, no businesses other than fairly major companies (i.e. mostly places which were usually "household word" names, at least locally or regionally) could actually afford to have their own computer systems. Computer time-share time was very expensive back in these days, which is why it wasn't corner grocery stores or body shops renting mainframe time. The computers at this company filled a couple of rooms.

Later, the computers at the defense contractor (where the cruise missile engines were made) had their computer system taking up space about the size of a living room. Not only did I audit costs (and procurement) of the ordnance itself, but also the overhead (G & A, material handling, manufacturing costs, etc.) which was allocated to it. During the first three ore four years, "KEYPUNCH" was actually a separate, and fairly major, department within G & A. Yes, anything to do with computers was very expensive.

Much of the computer capacity that I saw at these places can,. nowadays, be put inside a friggin' PHONE.
 
^ My partner was telling me about how he had to work on occasional on the Cray-1 while working for Shell - the 5.5 tone 1970s supercomputer, costing $7.9 million back then. It ran at 160 MFLOPS (mega floating-point operations per second) - a 2013 smartphone runs around 1 GFLOPS (giga) minimum....

I'm certain that no one is interested in my resume...

However, I remember when I was a kid, we would spend our summers up in northern Michigan...

We (me and my brothers) would be dropped off in forests -- and collect pine cones for the forestry service...

Many many many pine cones EVERY day!!! I'm sure that I was paid a pittance -- but, when your a kid, a pittance is a fortune! :D

Also -- EARLY in the summer -- we could supplement our income by finding and picking Morel Mushrooms -- they were like FINDING GOLD!!! ..|

And, also, a free by-product while walking through the forests picking up pine cones... :lol:

Fun memories...

:):):)

Kid: Bugging people I knew to buy seeds and/or greeting cards. Pulled weeds. Mowed lawns.

First "real" salaried job: Camp counselor, summer after High School.

During college: Clerk in the Office of Admissions, and on the kitchen staff of a sorority.

Summer during college: Worked for the Mayor's office, doing door-to-door survey, verifying the census.

Break from college: Computer operator for a bank. (That thing took up two, glass enclosed, rooms.)

Return to college: Night manager of the new student union, and head waiter at the sorority.

First job out of college: Asst. Mngr., then Mngr., of a "Big Boy" restaurant, in Durham NC.

First job in Milwaukee: Car sales. Then morphed into new/used/fleet quality control (prep), and customer relations, with my own specialized team. Had full range over service, parts, body shop, warranty submission/operations, a step above their respective managers. Became a certified GM tech., though "my guys" were the ones doing the actual daily work. Got to the point the zone office was sending me "problems" from other dealerships. That was 6yr.

Current job: Through a friend, "stumbled" into printing and became a page/color tech., working with film, and on into the digital age. I must kinda like it because I've been at it for the last 35yr. Worked in management for a couple of those years, but stepped "back" to what I enjoyed, actually DOING/MAKING something of value. HA!

Chaz you should have worked for a frat instead of a sorority it would been more fun, If you worked at Big Boy in NC it must have been Shoney's.
