My Work History

Here's a neat little post to let you guys know my skills and abilities. In case you were wonderin'

I was a Lemonade Tycoon! Just kidding, but i think you didn't have a real childhood without running atleast one lemonade stand. Fortunately for me, that was the end of my entreprenual experiences.

First real job: Sun Newspapers Paper boy

This was a rough one. Every wednesday I'd wait for my papers and then roll em and deliver em. Sometimes I would fall asleep first and my dad would have to wake me up, and I was cranky. My dad was really good about going with me because I was so young. This money funded many a lego. Stephen eventually inherited this position from me.

Caddy:
Westwood Country Club trained and raised. THe golf course is where I spent most of my days, Chillin' out, maxing, relaxing a cool, playing some bball outside the first green. When a couple of guys who were up for a round started calling names in the caddie yard.

That's enough of that! Walking 4 miles a day with a 40 lbs bag on in the gruelign summer sun. Needless to say, I was in the best shape of my life. And it was good money! I did get hit by a golf ball once! I'll tell that story later.

CPA assistant
Good od Mr. Bueflow! Me and Marie did data entry for this crazy guy and his crazy secretary! It was tedious boring work, but also cash money

Taco Bell:
The longest of all my jobs, I still work there sometimes! Started junior year of high school. Many a good memory, and my boss was one of the greatest of all time!
I was made a manager when I was 18. Happy Birthday MIKE!
and Sandy has worked around my schedule a lot through high shcool and college. It was best when Ryan was there with me.

Lowry Food Service:
Lack of better options...
working dining services, cleaning and what not. I was a bad employee here. I was always trying to get out of work. It just plain sucked

User Services: Tech Support
This was my favorite job work wise. I enjoy working with computers, even though I knew squat, Flinty and Smack helped me get this job. My boss, Kathy, was awesome! She was really nice, and she always teased me about not talking much. But we had a good relationship. I was sad to go when I left wooster! Many a night with Deval eating pizza in the computer lab, and not receiving any computer phone calls.

Cleveland Browns Security:
THis is the best job. Pretty much paid witness! The work is easy, you get to eat the same food the players and coaches do. All you have to di is stay alert! During training camp, it wasn't as much fun, but a small price to pay.

File Clerk: Cuyahoga County Jail
This was insane!! Long elevator rides with 7 inmates and 1 C/O. SCARY!!!!!!!! Luckily I made it out still a virgin! THe ladies I worked with were crazy but so much fun. And being a young chap, they hit on me a lot, that was embarassing at times! But It was awesome pay and helped me save money for greece.

Scrap Yard!
Shit hole! Sorting through an endless pile of aluminum cans trying to get them "clean" so that we can make bricks of them so they can sell. The bosses were mean, not understanding, and the work just plain sucked. I would come home everyday covered in a combination of whatever was in the cans. Seriously, wading waist deep in cans. The only good i got out of this was bonding with Morgan over my brother Steve. Haa haa! Stay tuned for my brother's life story.

PPG
I spray paint, this is too new to go into much more.


That's all folks! I hope it's as fun as I wanted it to be!

Editor's note:
THe author believes that this is all the jobs he has ever held. He asks that if he forgot one, that the job do not get upset and retaliate in a violent, unnecessary why. If that job would just write a letter of complaint and you will be appended, or possibly receive your own blog.

Dear Michael:

I am writing to inform you of my failure appearance on your list of jobs. I know I was not a regular and definitely not consistent, but when your sister could not take the job, you always visited me. There was nothing you loved more than getting paid to entertain little kids, be it watching movies or playing outside.

I look forward to hearing from you and request an appearance in your blog.

Sincerely,
Babysitting
