The first job I had as a kid was picking strawberries. After that I taught guitar lessons, worked in a printing plant, worked in a mattress factory for all of two weeks, worked at a department store camera and house wares departments, back to the printing plant full time, substitute teacher until 1985. In '85 after only having three days of teaching jobs in the month of February I took a part time job as a park district janitor. That wound up turning into full time. They were very good about letting me take time off to play music, so I wound up staying for 28 years and formally retired in 2013. These days we substitute teach again, but have pension income as well. So all the jobs had their odd bits.
