I have worked as much as that fellow from up NORTH.
I forgot the story inventory taking each 'whenever' each year.
Forgot teaching Spanish to librarians in town.
Forgot Al Anon newsletter manufacturer, as people rarely submitted what I needed for fill.
Governor's campaign manager's helper (Dad was the manager).
Swamp cooler repair woman, winter heater set up woman,
FORTRAN math helper, entry processor, to a professor at the U of A. Did I write that already?
Web page creator, not counting my own. Not that I did a bang up job, but I was almost free.
Letter to the Editor contest participant within the family to see who could get published most often here in town.
Political door to door, will you vote, can I drive you on election day to vote, no matter your party, person?
Sign painter for a nightclub, a few day care centers, and those signs that are stuck into the ground until ripped up by home owners' associations.
Car detailer.
House painter.
Holiday window painter for homes and stores....
Photographer, informal and barely paid for cds that I made around
the work of the professional photog.
Go go dancer one night, scared out of the place.....1965.
Cocktail waitress, accepted that job the next night instead.
Lied about my age.
Volunteer refugee helper. I mention it as a job as it took all day, four days a week at least, for eight months, driving, helping with paperwork, doctor's visits, cooking lessons in America, sewing lessons on machines that I bought the ladies, until I learned to say that I was busy or ill, true, and needed to make rent money.
Uh oh, chemo fog setting in again....I could almost grasp one or two more, sigh.

I'll be lucky if I can remember HALF of the jobs I've had, over the years!
Garbage scow deck-hand/ditch digger, Isle Royale Nat. Park
Small job-shop offset printing press operator (at least 10 or 12 printing related jobs)
Mindless, brain-numb, barely awake factory drone (a dozen or more of these jobs)
Auto body repairshop, bodyman apprentice (in reality, just the dumbest end of a broom)
School bus driver (back when I used to think that I LIKED children!)
Straight [non-semi] delivery truck driver (a one day long job, after attempting, to drive below a 12' high bank canopy, in a 13' high truck!)
Used car salesman (explains much about me, huh?)
Parts room man, in a farm implement sales business
Convenience store counter attendant/cashier
Gas Station attendant/cashier
DRN dock attendant (brown uniform-wearing sewage pumper, gas pumper, hedge-clipper, grass cutter, flunky)
Hardware Store Manager (essentially just as mindless as a factory job, but the pay is MUCH lower!)
Meal delivery Driver (The only job that I have ever actually enjoyed!)
