How many jobs have you had?

[percy toboggan]

...or perhaps you're a 'career' person...interesting word that.
Anyway...just a bit of insightful fun...no conclusions to draw from this.

How many? Any interesting/out of the ordinary ones ? The shortest and longest time with an employer?...that kind of thing...

27 - ish here. (since 1967)
Traffic Reporter - Cinema Projectionist -Artificial Limb repairer *

* the shortest = 2 hours
* longest = 8 years...driving a 'wagon and drag' on nationwide distribution.

Current job = six years

3 since 1995

Shortest 1 1/2 years (part-time waitress while still at school)

Longest 11 1/2 years (current job)

but I also had a part time job while doing current job. Barmaid for almost 9 years!

[the second coming]

pre college, 2 jobs

post college

6 jobs, shortest 1yr (twice) and longest 10 yrs, left to be self employed.

Best job is current one (still only a few months into it)

worst job, working in academia (reality check required, I should have listened to my mates!! ).

I've been laid off twice and picked myself up and got a better job each time out of the circumstances.

I took him on to do some work at one point, and I think I know why. He just cannot be told.
