My last job: I served eight and a half years at a privately owned funeral home. When business began dying off and the owner was getting buried in debt he cut my shackles and set me free.

I was not licensed, so I assisted where needed, operated the media center, maintained the company website, photoshopped the hell out of beat up old photos for the videos I had to put together, produce print material, deliver flowers, etc.

Standing in 100° with 100 % humidity while wearing a full suit sucks.

I keep in touch with them. The office manager says the two as-needed guys he replaced me with are clueless about what to do in my chair; not a good trade.

 

Out of high school I was a golf course maintenance worker. Fun job but terrible pay. From there I went into warehouse work and local delivery driver (non CDL) for a tire wholesaler. It was at that point that I figured I liked driving, so why not go and get my CDL and drive the big rigs. Been doing it ever since.

 

Working on being a trucker, but I'm just finishing up a career as a school bus driver (long and short buses). As long as I don't have to tell the load to sit down, face forward, and be quiet I'll be alright.

 

I hated driving bus.

Never have I had to endure the pain of so many schrill voices.

 

I love the -driving- part, but it's the, oh what was my total... Seventy-seven shrieking elementary school darlings I could do without!
