Does Unemployment Count?

Daily writing prompt

What jobs have you had?

A Long Journey

My first job was a paper route which I successfully built up and that lasted for about two years. I then went to the local grocery store and became a carry-out boy which turned into stock boy down the road. After that I worked in a local hardware for a summer. These were all jobs I had before quitting high school.

After I made that mistake I found small paying jobs and bounced around the country doing all kinds of work so instead of going into each one I will make a list and highlight the ones I enjoyed.

CCA-machine operator
Pepsi CO-line operator, un/load route trucks
Waterbed Factory-Saw operator, truck driver
Metro-building maintenance
OTR truck driver 25 years mixed with local driving
Tyson Seafood Group-offshore fish factory in Pacific Ocean
Mill saw operator

This is not a complete list but you get the idea, “A Jack of all Trades” My last job was managing a “Head Shop” a job I loved doing. The owner became a good friend of mine and the job became a passion until it didn’t then it was time to retire.
