My FaVoRite lil JoBs

I have had plenty of JOBs over the years.  Never got fired from a single one, technically.  I would get bored and move on to the next project.  If I didn't get boarded there were other extraneousness circumstances WHY I needed to quite.

I have worked in FACTORIES doing so many different things.

I have worked in LANDSCAPING, CONSTRUCTION, DEMOLITION, VINYL SIDING, WINDOW INSULATION.

I have worked as a TSR Telephone Sales Rep.  for those infomercials people watch HAIR CLUB FOR MEN, NH PUBLIC TV, LADY GRACE, NATIONAL COLLECTORS MINT, & WINE ENTHUSIAST are just a few.

I have worked at a LAUNDRY MAT.

I have worked for WAL-MART as a CASHIER, Door Greeter,   ELECTRONIC floor sales man.

I have worked as a COOK in many restaurants.

I have worked as a BARback, Bouncer, fly GUY =) at Marks SHOWPLACE/ now THE GOLDROOM.

I have and still work on/call as a METAL MACHINIST. I can machine tungsten rods that grow Sapphire. I can machine parts for the new top of the line cars.  AND I DO THIS ALL FOR FREE.

I have had many jobs doing many things but the jobs I loved the most where the ones I had as a lil child and I never really got payed for.

Growing up almost over half my life in ALABAMA, I was all about farming.  As a lil kid I would go to neighbors FARMs, because my FAMILY was dirt poor and didn't have diddle y  squat, and feed the animals.  I would bale hey.  I would help plant gardens. ALL FOR FREE.

The one thing I loved the most and did get paid very lil money was collecting PECANs.  Large PECAN trees grew all over the hillsides and fields.  I could and would spend most of my days climbing PECAN trees, shaking branches.  That was really easy for me.  Like I said before I have been told I don't climb trees I run up trees.  Anyways I would fill 5 gallon buckets full of PECANs.  My lunch for the day would be water and PECANs strait from the tree.  YUMYUM.  I would then turn in the PECANs at a depot station and get paid for them by the lbs.  I wouldn't make much but as a lil kid lil was a lot.  Plus when I would get back home or to the farm I was at, there was a fresh PECAN PIE waiting form me strait out the oven.  YUMYUM

Side STORY( When all of us kiddos would go visit GRANDpa, which was rare because he lived deep in the woods of da UP of Michigan, he would give us each $100 bill that my parents would take from us and use for food and all that jazz.  When we got a lil older he gave us a $1 bill and we all acted just the same as if he gave us the $100 bill.  We were children.  We had no concept of the monetary value of money.)

Another Job that I had when I was a lil boy, living in Illinois at the time, was on a COW farm feeding calf's.  I would have to mix a powdered milk solution and put it in a large baby bottle and go to each lil calf igloo and feed them.  Their tongues felt so funny on your hands and cheeks.

Jenna my older DARLin lady friend would let me ride horseback with her when we made field border patrol. What we did is just cruse the perimeter of the farm and make sure things were on the up and up.  Sometimes wild dogs would make their way in and kill a cow or two.  We had to make sure these lil creatures where safe.

Saw a horse and a cow born on that farm.

 Never made any money, but I did get fresh food, shelter, & love. Thats all that mattered.

Side STORY(When my FAM moved through the mid west from ALABAMA to MINNESOTA & back down to ALABAMA/FLORDIA, my DAD told us this story/joke that we believed for the longest time as lil kids.  One day when we were looking out the car windows on one of our trips we came across a hill filled with COWs.

He told us those were" special Hill COWs" and " that their milk was sweeter because of being grazed up on a hill.  There was one thing that was a problem for Hill COWs they had to stay facing the same direction.  They couldn't walk clockwise around the hill they always walked counter clockwise, this added more to the sweetness of their milk.  Sense they stood in this pattern, over their years of growth one side of their legs had grown longer then the other side. If you were to put them on flat land they would tip over, and if they changed direction they would go rolling down the hill and cause a panic to all the other Hill COWS." )

Well he didn't say it with that much FLAVOR but you get the point.  We as lil kiddos fell for every single word.  =)

Well I'll leave you be for now.  I'll tell another story another time.  This ones time is to END.

God Bless

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
