That was back in the days when you had to collect door to door every week. That taught me how difficult it is to separate people from their money. Customer: "Wait til my parents get back?"

Started out delivering The News, then both The news and Free Press. When I got in my teens I dropped the routes and began working for Johnny Mac's Cooky Factory as a driver and stock clerk. Then in 1985, I began working for Young Supply Company located in the Milwaukee and Lodge area.( my first west side job Jjaba  ) Worked my way up from stock clerk, to semi driver delivering to our stores, anywhere from Traverse City to Toledo. Occasionally running dead compressors to Indiana to pick up new ones. Eventually I was the warehouse supervisor for about 5 years. In 2003, I had to move to Indiana for the birth of our first child, MY third. After looking for warehouse management job for 6 months (down here you need a 2 year degree in order to manage people.. whatever happened to hands on training). So, I was forced back behind the wheel and have driven for Cardinal Health a medical products company for the last 3 years. Live in a small farm town of Whitestown. | ||

First job was babysitting, then in college I worked in the cafeteria (MSU). Loved my job...worked in the dishroom (omg..we had a ball!) and was a student supervisor. Ended up doing a lot of the hiring of other student employees and scheduling for each semester. I learned a lot about food service. During the summer, I was on paint crew at MSU and painted dorm rooms...another awesome job! I really did learn how to paint. After college..no "real" job...worked at Kmart and substitute taught. Then I subbed for five years and also worked at a warehouse in Ann Arbor where I learned quite a bit...shipping and receiving, warehousing, learned to use the shipping system and the postal meter, did some customer service with GM and other clients, trained temporary employees, opened and closed monthly tickets for different clients. It was great because they let me come in if I didn't get called to sub for the day and also worked there over holidays and the summer. They pretty much begged me to take the position of supervisor permanently, but I knew I'd never teach if I didn't keep at it. It was very tempting though since the pay was great. Then...finally....I started teaching first grade...and have been there ever since! | ||

My first job was for the Greening of Detroit as a corps member every summer from when I was 14 to 19. It was a good job it exposed me to parts of Detroit I had never knew existed which is probably the reason I still sympathize for this city and am interested in sticking around to see it rise again. Years passed there and then I became a team leader driving the kids around while they watered trees and pretended to care about the environment. My senior year in High School I worked at a womens shoe store as a salesman, which I was terrible at since I hate corn infested middle aged women feet. Around that time I also worked for DPS in an office where they taught administrators to do something with computer programs, I didn't really ask what as I didn't really care. I was a student assistant which meant I played every single game on Yahoo, made coffee, and flirted with the temps they would hire. Good usage of tax payer dollars, I know. When I got to MSU, I immediately worked for the Kellogg Center as a banquet server. Thrilling job, I just loved working until 1am every Friday and Saturday, watching old drunk white guys dance at weddings and make amusing stereotypes I thought were myths come true, and staring in awe at how much our underachieving football team ate before each game. I did that for a year and a half until the great day came when I got fired for my "lack of enthusiasm" for my job. At which point I enthusiastically found a job as a glorified telemarketer for MSU, which I still do in between classes. The best job I ever had was working construction during a semester break for a belligerent Haitian and a bunch of illegal immigrants. The pay was good and it reminded me of why getting a degree would be a good thing as the dust from bricks and concrete is hard to wash out the crack of your ass. So to summarize this unnecessarily long winded post I am still a student. In 5 years I'd love to post what I am doing then as something more meaningful. | ||
