From the ages of 18-21 (1981 to 1983) I worked for place that sold glass and plastic containers. I worked in the warehouse where my job was to put together orders, keep the warehouse stocked and the “weirdest” part of my job was driving a forklift! These huge 18 wheelers and their 55 foot long trailers stacked full of pallets. We’d have to put a chain around the wooden pallet and pull them out. It definitely takes some skill. I learned to drive a forklift before learning to drive a car which really screwed me up since to turn the forklift you make a sharp turn to whip the backend around. The family I was living with wouldn’t let me learn to drive their cars, so my boss gave me a ride home every day after work and taught me to drive during rush hour traffic! I stalled out sooooo many times! I actually liked that job quite a bit and it was easy to stay in good shape being so active and having to lift heavy things. Your job sounds like it was perfect for you, and I’m glad it worked out (thought it wasn’t going to be such a happy ending, I mean maybe the lady was really an axe murderer, lol).

I haven’t had any weird jobs. Each one is interesting in it’s own way though. I was a party hostess at the new indoor skating rink – working with moms who are trying to control 10 8-year-old’s was crazy enough ;-) I also subbed as skate cop when they needed a break. There were also interesting stories about the hockey players and their fans. A lot of gossiping and speculating at that job! I’ve also worked at two floral shops where I didn’t get along with the managers.
