    I worked in a "climate controlled" chicken processing plant. (hanging dead birds on hooks, using a snow shovel to move ground chicken puree from one storage container to another, making hotdogs, etc)

    Pumped sani-cans and cleaned bathrooms for the City of Kent. (Imaging walking into a public bathroom and seeing a naked guy peeking at you from over the top of the stall. As soon as scurried away, I saw another walk into the bathroom, look around confused, and check his watch. At that moment I realized what I just broke up... Although I wasn't always that "lucky" and some people I just caught in the act. :()

    Some interesting jobs so far.

    I started out working for my aunts company mostly making price tags for her product - I would work my lunches in grade 6. It confused the other students but then when they found out I was making 20 - 30 bucks per lunch hour they didn't say much after that. Just before that in grade 5 I was basically a wholesaler for a fishing store providing lures. Basically just picked up the lures, dropped them off at the fishing store and when they sold I collected the money at the end of the month and then paid off the maker of the lures. That was a pretty sweet job for age 11 :p

    The usual mowing lawns, paper route etc.... then moved to landscaping large commercial and private properties for 3 years which then turned into bookkeeping for the same company. Gas station attendant, Future Shop (merchandiser), and a few other boring jobs.

    Now, at 19, I do consulting work for an IT company and hold a day job at a software company - the same company that just cut a large deal with Jstat's workplace :)

    As bad as that may have been for you... a priceless story it has made :D

    That's one to leave off the resume... or at very least to break the ice with a few laughs.

    ^^+1! "What do you do for work?" "Me? Um, nothing!"


    Let's see......pumped gas(before self serve- yeah I'm old, F.U.!), bussed tables for IHOP for 5 hours 1 nite, never even picked up my check. Bagged groceries, worked in a bicycle repair shop, that's all for H.S.
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    14-15 yrs old: Dock boy at a boat dock on the lake. To date, still the best job I've ever had. Got tipped in beers and rode jet skis anytime I wanted. And the women.....oh my.
