(I posted this in January, but I only had two readers then, and I already know my mom's answers to this).
I was working on the laptop of a guy at my office and we were talking during the "work," when he said something like "How many jobs have you had?"
"A lot," I replied.
"I've had a lot too," he said.
I always thought that I'd had a lot of jobs. Then he proceeded to show me a list of all of his jobs. He is a little older than me (maybe five years), but his list of jobs was extensive.
See, since I was 25 years old, I've only had two jobs. But between 13 and 25 years of age, I had jobs o' plenty.
And that got me thinking. How many jobs have I actually had?
And the thing about looking back and trying to remember jobs is that it's similar to trying to recount or remember sexual partners (I assume). A job / person or two always gets overlooked.
Anyway, just to get the ball rolling, I am going to list jobs that I had over the years to the best of my recollection. If at some point I remember more, I will simply copy and paste the old list into a new entry and add the recently recalled job.
Enjoy everybody!
(I am going from most recent to oldest as best I can).
