Nice thread..........yeah tutoring in the math lab in college. It was sweet...hardly anyone showed up and when they did the subject matter wasn't bad at all! I basically got paid seven bucks an hour to chat with the cute, computer guys next door.........oh that life were still so easy and simple!

My favorite job was where my best friend and I worked together for many years. First we used to clean his brother's office building, this was 1981 to 1985. Then we worked for this one guy at three different restaurants between 1986 - 1997. We worked hard setting up rooms for parties, banquets, and weddings, but took home a LOT of free food! We ate good while at work, too!!! Lots of good dinners and deserts foods there! Co- workers were pretty cool, for the most part.

I used to work for a nieghbor during 1986 - 1992, he was ill and I helped fix up the house he'd bought from my best friend, then I cleaned and maintained the building until this neighbor died in of Aids related complications in 1992.

The WORST job I had was a two month stint at a gay bath house. It was summer 1978, I turned 21 and came out. At first, it was fun having lots of sex..for the first two weeks. Then the place got depressing because of the oppresive sexual nature. I like sex as much as anyone else, but that place just got to me. I quit after just two months because the boss was verbally abusive, and threatened to beat me up once because I had trouble learning how to drain and clean and then refill the hottub there.

Another cool job I had was at age 13, 14, and 15, I worked at an amusement park summers 1971 - 1972.
I worked in the foodstand. ALL the food I could eat! Free rides!! My co -workers treated me like an equal though I was only a teenager, and many of them were in their 40's, 50's, and 60's.

I was very sad when the park closed for good spring 1973. Years later, it became just another Mall. They have pictures in the mall of the park, but it's not the same.
