In various stages I’ve been a book seller, plain clothes secuirty, aide to a National Sciene Foundation institute on population genetics and a librarian. Oh, and during a very dark time of my life, a cubicle critter as an insurance claims adjuster.
I have been an employee of the state of Tennessee for 5 years now, and I am sick of it!I work in the state’s Dept of Trans. Aerial Photo Lab as a Lab tech & I hate my job. Low pay,broken/old equipment, grief from higher up & all Tenn. state employees are used as whipping boys for every single failed policy of Govenor Sundquist & Legislature alike!
I just got a Liberal Arts Degree. I am reliable, a quick study , responsible for starting a money-saving preventative maintainence plan at TDOT’s photo lab, & am looking for a new job.
Any takers?

Nothing.
For money, I work in a chemical plant as a Millwright.
In my spare time I restore classic motorcycles.
I own a 1969 Harley Electra Glide that I rescued for $600. It was a mess. Cost me $3000 and about 200 hours to restore.
My wife hates that bike.

Is that ABN AMRO?
I used to beat on airplanes with a hammer. Now I yell at teenagers and show them how to beat on airplanes with hammers.
my weekend job is sometimes unique. I grew up exactly two miles from the birthplace of Jesse James. When I turned 16 I refused to learn how to drive, but wanted a job… but my parents said “tough titties” so I applied for a job as a tour guide [ahem… “Historical Interpreter” for a more impressive air]
It was the best job a teenager could have had and I still work there occasional weekends as my schedules permit. I’ve met people from many countries, and have gotten to practice my German and Italian singing on people who have given me wonderful compliments. I met Stacy Keach and the next month he sent me a postcard.
The job has done wonderful things for my speaking skills, assertiveness, and thinking on my feet above all. Some of the questions tourists come up with…!
They all think it’s sooooooooooo darn funny when I introduce myself to them at the beginning… “Welcome to the Jesse James house. My name is Jessi and I’ll be your guide.” Totally deadpan.
A few wayward tourists always make the mistake of blurting something totally asanine like “is your last name James?” or “are you Jesse’s daughter?” or other similarly stupid questions.
Gotta love em though, they’re the bread and butter of this little midwestern town.
If it’s tourist season, why can’t we shoot the tourists?

A Winner rightaway !! Beatle, you’re the man. It’s indeed ABN AMRO. As promised, on your next visit to Amsterdam, look me up - I’ll buy you a nice Belgian beer that will knock your socks and who knows what else off…
I’m quite impressed that the answer came so quick: it could be the Beatle’s a banker himself or that the ABN AMRO name is finally catching on in the US - we’ve been reluctant to change the names of LaSalle and EAB, but judging on this speed of reply, we’d better name them all ABN AMRO tommorrow

I run a flexo printing press for a company that makes labels, stickers, and other media for thermal printers. Those little yellow and white shelf labels you see at Wal-Mart and K-mart? I make those. Although for the past week, I’ve been running off receipt stock for Avis rapid return transactions.

Translator of Mexican tax legislation and related documents. I’m also consulting editor for a major U.S. legal publisher’s Mexican law publications.
I work in the circulation dept. of a municipal library. Check people in and out, shelve books, etc. I also have the job of collecting overdue fines (want to hear people bitch about a five cent fine, come work with me). Probably the worst part of this job is telling people they have to buy their library card if they live out of the library district. We have a small tax base and can’t afford to serve everyone.
Normally, I run into burning buildings. I also go to college (University of New Haven…the lesser known UNH, oh, Dr. Henry Lee works here, too [thought I’d throw that in]). And, when I’m needed, I’m a machinist at my father’s machine shop. Nice of him to teach me a trade that doesn’t require people bleeding on me. Well, sometimes they do, but thats another story.
