I was updating my resume recently and it got me thinking about all of the weird jobs I have had. I'm not talking about fast food or retail, but stuff that usually catches people off guard when you tell them about it. Mine are:
Carnival Worker: I used to set up the rides and run the games and concession stands when I was 14 for Tommy's Midway and Ace Amusement. It was cool because when my friends came around I used to get them on the rides and free food all the time. I was actually held up at knife point in the pop corn/cotton candy booth on the day my grand father died.
Cleaned out mosoleums in Woodlawn Cemetary. My mother used to work for the Monument Company that was on my block and the manager would send me to the cemetary to open up the mosoleums, sweep them out, and clean up the outsides for funerals. One time I had to crawl in to the bottom of a double decker one that had someone in the top cube already. Some how I got in a position that just got me wedged where I couldn't shift myself in any direction. I had to call out for twenty minutes before someone cane and helped me.
Office assistant for a Porn Director: Helping answer phones, file pictures, and putting sex toys in dishwashers.
Security Guard in a Methedone Clinic at Jacobi Hospital:There's nothing quite like telling a strung out homeless person that they're 5 minutes to late to get their fix. I had to leave through the basement a few times.
