I am retired.

In my life, I have been a paper boy, a United States Marine, a construction laborer, a restaurant manager, a potash mine loading dock laborer and operator, a professional actor, a sound technician for a professional theatrical production, a gourmet food-processing manager, a directory assistance operator, a bartender, a security guard, a furniture warehouse worker and deliverer, a college student, a graduate student, a manager of a homeless shelter, a licensed Master's-level Child Protective Services Social Worker (LMSW), an instructor working with developmentally-challenged children and adults, a restaurant busboy and all-round bon vivant.

I used to do circumcisions but packed it in as the money was not good---$12 an hour plus tips.

Then I was a dresser in a strip club at $13 an hour. Not much I know but it was all I could afford.

Damn, I had to leave this thread and actually work for a while. I can't imagine why my customers have to bother me this week. Haven't they heard, we're in a recession and they shouldn't buy anything ever again. Thank god they're still calling.

My job is too boring to talk about, so I'll make one up!

I'm the founder and president of the NAARO (National Association for the Advancement of Rolex Owners). What we do is make sure that individuals who own Rolex watches are not discriminated b/c of what they wear to work, interviews, breakfast, first dates, weddings, etc. It is a tough world we live in....
