[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 353888, member: 5938"] Waitress in HS - horrible Carhop in HS - too many cruisers and rowdies. Mom made me quit, darnit Drug store, loved it Grocery store, more drug store, fruit stand, more waitress, more waitress and hated that worse as it went on. Trim in mobile office factory. Hated it - those people are rough and would always steal my air hose when I was off cutting trim. They laid me off rather than fire me because the knew I was trying and wanted me to be able to get unemployment. Head cashier in grocery store - no tolerance and made one gal so mad she threw her cash drawer on the floor. I got fired, not her. Rolled out fabric for Flexsteel sofas and chairs. Damned near cut my finger off also pissed someone off so bad she greased the pole I had to lift to roll fabric. Quit in disgust. Light assembly in medical gauge factory, boring so I moved over to machine shop and liked it. Turning and brazing parts. Sanded fancy cup holders for vans are Rvs. Pretty nasty work, sawdust stuck all over me in the hot summer. Temporary in a car parts factory. I liked running the machines, making threads and so forth. Didn't like the punch presses. Finally realized I wasn't going to be hired on as a regular employee so got out of that. CNC machinist. I enjoyed most of it, somewhat boring at times but was learning to program. Stupid to quit because I'd be making huge $$ now as a programmer. However, I enjoy my fingers and want to keep them. Solvents and coolant stink. Secondary machine set-up and screw machine operator. Those screw machines are mean little buggers. Sucked at secondary set-up - fired. UPS, AM preload. Got a second job as Red Cross emergency services assistant. Interesting but not cut out for office work. Stupid enough to take another office job and bailed after a year. Goodwill clerk, OMG, what a stinking place that was. People peed and pooped in the dressing rooms - I refused to clean it up. Finally a customer complained to boss because I got cut in front of her cart while hanging out clothes. Boss got on me for it, well for mouthing off to the customer. Went to lunch and never returned. Still at UPS and it seems to suit me well. Make more $ part time than many full time jobs. Good benefits, I can yell when I want and get a good workout. Crazy enough to fit right in. Have a reputation as a mean old bitty which keeps the creeps away. Very few know how soft-hearted and thin skinned I really am. :happy2: [/QUOTE]
