Oh good grief....I seriously do not think I could list every single thing I've done.
I started with a paper route with my brother when we were old enough the Des Moines Register would allow. Getting up early in the morning and trudging down to the pickup centre, filling the wagon and off we would go. Doing that paper route gave me my first 'flasher dirty old man' experience. Shriveled up old fucker. He would pretend to be sleeping on the sofa they had on their screened in porch.....which I was supposed to enter to stick the paper through the metal mail slot in the main front door. He gained a whole new respect for my dad after that.
My second job was at age almost 14, as a waitress at Winga's restaurant! I still remember the little brown envelopes with the pay all figured out on the front and exact cash inside.
Since then.......detassling, roguing beans, pulling chickens, just about anything I could do on a farm with cattle, hogs, crops, chickens. Powerwashing a hog confinement building in August is sooooooo not fun. Neither is doing shots teeth and tails. Orrr helping a sow have babies. Yep, I've had my arm in a sow's vagina all the way up to my shoulder and.....it hurts. Cattle and horses are much easier in that regard but you've got to watch out for the occasional nasty kick. Vet work on most animals.
Have driven any vehicle required on the farm, including a semi tractor trailer a few times. My favourite is a combine......feel like you own the fucking world in one of those!
I trained and showed horses for pay for a number of years also. Any work involving horses, I've done it.
Most anything that needed done in a fancy supper club.....other than the actual entertainment. This chick cannot sing nor dance. I started there as a waitress and ended up manager. (before there was a mysterous fire and they closed it). Also waitressed several other times in various types of restaurants.
Mailroom clerk. Landscaper. Credit card collection specialist for a fancy women's clothing store line....they had their own credit cards. Worked for an industrial tool supply company for 7 years. Started as receptionist and was a special accounts manager when I left. Several years in the health insurance business until I just couldn't stand it any longer. Specially trained for tool and die stuff. And now I work primarily in the printing industry. I started there as secretary/customer service and now am the manager. I also have my own business of photography I do in my 'spare time'.
The job I hated most was probably a toss up between the tool company because of the atmosphere and the insurance biz because of the lack of integrity of the companies I had to represent.
The most jobs I've held at once would be one full time and two part time. If I remember correctly. I very likely, did the occasional fourth of something if asked. In fact, now that I think about it. When I was working at the tool company I was waiting tables/whatever else they needed, for a local group of restaurants, doing a morning paper route, showing horses on weekends, AND doing construction clean up in the evenings when I wasn't working for the restaurants. So that would be 5 at once, kinda sorta.
