wiffleball 4,657 Posted July 13, 2018 Threw Tires and Batteries at Sears Automotive. Worked in aluminum processing plant. Hot as balls. They throw you out if you didn't show up to work with a gallon of water. Construction. Various fast food. College, I unloaded the 45-foot trailer they backed up to Hardee's every Sunday morning at oh-dark-thirty. At least I can work alone and it beat flipping burgers. Same time, I threw kegs at our College bar. They only have four types of draft beer and nothing else. And crowds well into the upper hundreds. Literally threw kegs for about 6 hours straight. All seems pretty damn pointless now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trumpurethra 42 Posted July 13, 2018 Pizza delivery, baskin robbins, gas station attendant, US Navy, waiter, bar tender, car sales, sales rep (current gig). Have worked since 15. Bought my first car. Pretty much never had anything handed to me by family or others. Have almost never been unemployed (couple weeks here and there I suppose). Even in the depths of my depravity, drinking like a fish and tweeking and not sleeping for days, I still held down a job. I slung dope the whole time too. Even dealt a little meth and acid while in the navy. Knew peeps off base and brought it on base to take and sell. Still maintained 4.0 evals and got the honorable discharge!
