Neat to see people’s work history.
I am a former (recovering) restaurant manager. Started out as busboy, moved to Cook, and on up the chain. Graduated from University of Minnesota at which point moved to management.
At 34 I couldn’t let so many youngsters dictate the outcome of my day any longer so I went and sold siding, windows, & roofing (yep, I was a “tin man”) for 3 years.
After that, I joined a friend who had an Appliance delivery, install & a bit of sales business — he was a one man operation and it was too overwhelming for him. We worked together for 5 years and he decided to retire. Instead of taking that on I went to work in the warehouse of an appliance distributor that we did business with. 6 years there and I watched it go under in the housing crash, 200+ lost their jobs. So, then I landed where I’ve been for the last 9 years. I currently do shipping & receiving for an automation industry distributor. All the pneumatics, conveyor systems, robots, industrial computers and the like.
And, the most unlikely thing you weren’t expecting to hear— I have delivered pizzas part-time for Dominos for 30 some years (oh, the stories...)
