The *ONE* job you really don't want anyone to know you had......

[the Princess]

Well OK I'll start -

*DEEP BREATH*

I read Tarot - as well as Runes and use a pendulum and do Numerology. I once worked for (OH Goddess I hate to admit this) I worked as a reader for:

Miss Cleo!!!!!!

*hangs head in shame*

I quit becaseu my conscience would not allow me to hold these people online to spend money I knew they did not have. Keeping them on the phone for an hour would be a $400.00 charge to their credit card. And they never knew it.

I'm sorry. :(

1. Scooping dog shit at the Kennel's

It was better than dishwashing. and It was better than working for Ms Cleo

[Florida_Geek]

2. Manager of a Famous Nude Club in Tampa

:evilgrin: 12-20 nude dancers and I have to "control" them .

It was a hard job but somebody had to do it.

3. Don't be sorry...

it's not your fault!

I was a janitor at the Eastland Mall in Columbus, Ohio in 1985 (when I was 17). I did it for two weeks. On the plus side, mall patrons would often comment on what a beautiful janitor I was.

4. I was a telemarketer back in the '70's. For about 3-5 hours before

they fired me.

[CO Liberal]

5. I Did Telemarketing a Few Times

For Morris County's Daily Record and the Newark Star-Ledger. I also did appointments for Lawn Doctor, just before I moved to Nevada.

I also did inbound telemarketing as well, in Late 2002 and Early 2003. If you called to order "Now That's What I Call Music", "Dean Martin Celebrity Roast" videos, or get info on Bowflex, we may have talked.

8. I had some telemarketing jobs

in my late teens and once in very early twenties. Never again!

[Modem Butterfly]

6. I was a phone sex operator in 1993

And actually, I end up talking about it a lot more than I probably should.

[WoodrowFan]

19. was that you?? (NT)

[iconoclastic cat]

7. Driver for an "escort" service.

That was the most interesting job that I ever had! ;)

[bleedingheart]

9. I worked at a convenience store...

selling lotto tickets to people who were apparently "math challenged"..it was depressing they spent all their extra cash trying to win it big..

[ClintonTyree]

10. Used car salesman..................

hated it, hated it, HATED IT! It was in the early 70's, just before the Arab Oil Embargo. Lying to people with a straight face wasn't my cup of meat. I didn't last very long until they bounced me for not selling anything. I did leave with my self respect though. Then the AOE hit and it was a moot point. Nobody was selling anything. There were nothing but American made gas guzzlers back then. The poopie really hit the fan blade.
It would have been a perfect job for a Republican though. :)

11. So did you hang with Miss Cleo?

[the Princess]

14. No

Miss Cleo was an actress hired to do the commercials.

The man who owned the phone lines was making money hand over fist and was living high on the hog in Las Vegas. He was eventually indicted, and the lines were shut down.

[Merlot]

16. Yes, it was pretty obvious "Miss Cleo"

was straight out of the hood. But ya gotta love the phony Jamacian accent.

[Purveyor]

12. Security Guard for a gay bathhouse...

circa 1976...Detroit, jewish mob.

Most interesting time in my life! ;)

[DemOperative]

13. Collector for delinquent Ad accounts in S Central LA

It got pretty depressing because the people could barely afford the rent for their small business.

Then there was the idea of walking around South Central with shitloads of cash

[Dr.Phool]

15. Bodyguard for Gangster

A lot of fun until we all got busted!

[RandomKoolzip]

17. Janitor in a supermarket in New Orleans.

It was a Canal Villere in a shitty neighborhood. I quit soon after some little kid pissed all over the front doors and I had to clean it up.

[dpbrown]

18. Carnie.

Hey, a game agent, not a ride jock. But we're all family.

[Z_I_Peevey]

20. Advertising sales (full body shudder)

for a radio station. I sold those "This school safety message brought to you by..." things. Not even real ads.

[SarahB]

21. I once taught Gymboree classes.
