Writer's Block: What a Way to Make a Living

I haven't had many jobs. I've only had three and the first two were for pocket change, really. So I'll answer newspaper delivery. I delivered the New York Times on campus for one semester. I did that every Saturday and Sunday for $36 per weekend. The worst part was having to wake up at the crack of dawn. The second worst part was the weight of the Sunday papers. On the plus side, there were always a bunch of newspapers left over so I got a free copy every time and after about an hour's work, I had the rest of the day to do as I please.

hehhehheh!
I used to carry heavy stuff too, yep.. it ain't fun (100 lb bags of sand)... but the worst still was probably a toss up, during high school, between climbing through cockroach-ridden chasms to clean up broken dishes amidst caked on rotting food... and pulling thorn-weeds (while trying to avoid rattlesnakes, ticks and poison oak) for monotonous hours in the blazing sun, back when I was in the scouts.

My stint with Convergys (phone tech support for Dell & Gateway) for 7 months. That was my worst job because I had to constantly fight over my hours (I was taking college classes and they didn't work around it) and I spent 6 of the 7 months without a supervisor or team because my original team was dissolved and I was just floating around like a lost soul from area to area.
