Since it's Labor Day weekend....

I thought it might be interesting to know what work you do or have done in the past. I am retired now but my last job was in remodeling and home repair. I have also worked at IBM ,sales in a gift shop and as a shipping clerk.

Enjoy the weekend what's left of it.

Great idea Cas! I have had many jobs before I had children then started this business with Vixen. I worked at a bank, a doctors office,a variety store, Macys.....and many more. LMAO​

Hmmm, when my boys were little I did lots of babysitting, home parties (Jewelry, Crystal, etc. where I went to other peoples homes and demod things), selling Avon and that type of thing to bring in a little extra income.

Then I went to college and get two different A.A.S. Degrees and then decided I didn't want to be cooped up in an office, lol

So then I went to work at a gas station/convenience store. Then worked at the same restaraunt for 10 years.

Now I work here (thank goodness, I slept in the past few days and would have been fired anywhere else, lol)

I worked at the Australian Taxation Office for 10 years, which is the equivalent of your IRS

I bet you have some strange tales you could tell!

 

[sorcer3ss (RETIRED)]

Lol that's for sure, I worked in the correspondence section at one time, and I remember someone posting in a set of false teeth as evidence with a note, please send back quickly. We also went through a period of bomb threats also, which wasn't a lot of fun working on the 13th floor, everyone just adjourned to the hotel for the rest of the afternoon, so it was quite likely that it was an employee.

The false teeth is funny but the bomb threat sure isn't! Thanks for sharing that.

It's really interesting to hear what people did when they were in the workforce.
