I maintain a million dollar sorting system and a bunch of other stuff...
So yea... I've been at the same place for 8 years. They keep promoting me, so I'm not complaining.

I grew up cutting grass for cash.
First real job would have to be working on a horse ranch. Feeding and cleaning the horses and their stalls wasnt bad, but building stallion fence was a pain!

My mom found out how to sell pagers and I did that to all my friends in High School. I don't think we ever made more then $15-20 a month but I enjoyed selling them and being able to change my own number on the computer ever other day. But then when I was legal to work I worked a Papa John's. And you know it was fun!
