I've worn a bunch of hats. Most of them retail, from cashier, to stock clerk, to front end supervisor, to running a 24-hour gas station convenience store (including inventory intake/stocking shelves/security etc) alone during the day shift. I was also a "balloon artist" at Party City.

I've also done office work, and was a "Kelly Girl" for many years. A favorite assignment was as the Marketing Secretary for the local dairy, for almost a year. The boss had to resign due to health problems, and I didn't like his replacement. Otherwise I would've continued and been absorbed in as a permanent employee.

Also got my COMPTia A+ certification and did some bench tech work for awhile, fixing computers at a university. And did a little coding on the side, but that was more of a hobby.

Also worked for the phone company, but unfortunately they were bought out shortly after I was hired, their department closed because Texas took over the work, so I moved to Human Resources. A year and change after that, they shut down that department because Texas was taking over that department, so I had to transfer to a third department. It was intentionally temporary; its function was to roll out DSL service to the state. I assisted the CAD engineers in making blueprints and other technical work.

A favorite Kelly job - believe it or not - was as a peanutbutter "sample girl" at the supermarket.

Lastly, I was a professional musician, a "busker" for six years in Boston. Most of that was spent in the subways with my case open while I played guitar and sang, but I also sang background on a friend's record, and was in a band and performed for the American Indian Council benefit concert in Cambridge with Floyd Red Crow Westerman in the late 1980's.
