I don't work part time so these are all full time gigs

As an extra on Octopussy

I really enjoyed reading everyone's posts, some were very funny. Thanks for asking the question.

I didn't really have part-time jobs that were super interesting like the others I read, but I did have a couple that made me love going to work. One was a nurses aide to very wealthy important people on a prestigious hospital floor that reminded me more of hotel suites. My favorite patient was Ted Williams. Another one was a telephone switchboard operator for the telephone company. The conversations that I got to listen in on (even though it was a no-no) were amazing and some actually x-rated. Then there was the job of greeter and seater for movie premiers. Loved that I was able to walk to his seat, my movie crush- at the time, Tab Hunter. It was the premiere of Cleopatra.

I guess my most interesting part time job was working for Batesville Caskets. I worked in the warehouse, putting caskets on the truck to go out every day, and receiving caskets once a week. When they interviewed me, they were concerned that I might not be able to handle the job... you know, caskets... but after a while I started singing Monster Mash, pretending to be Dracula shopping for a new "bed," and making other weird jokes. Then they worried that maybe I was responding too well to the job.

When I was in my teens, I worked on a turkey ranch as a turkey wrangler. It was hard dirty work but it's fun to tell people I used to be a Turkey Wrangler.

In the late 60's I worked transcribing inventory listings for use on punch cards, which was early computer hardware. Tedious job , I'm not the 'desk jockey' type, so left it after 3 weeks. The company was called Mid-Southern Toyota .
It wasn't till after I quit I found out it wasn't a Japanese toy company like I thought. Some of the items I transcribed sounded like auto parts but I figured it was Japanese translation of toy parts.
Yes it was the car company.

I was an " enforcer" when i waz younger, that was interesting to say the least and lucrative

I've worked in a skydive facility packing parachutes. (This financed my jumping habit)
I've managed an ice rink, I can drive a Zamboni. (I was playing hockey at the time)
I've worked at a Malibu style race track, but not a chain and they had really great cars

I do racing gigs on offshore sailing yachts. I don't get paid though. For example, I did the last running of the Newport-Bermuda race and delivered the boat to Miami afterward. I am doing the Chicago-Mac race for the second time this summer. I am still seeking a ride for Sidney-Hobart this Christmas. Despite not receiving cash for it, it is very rewarding and it is a lot of work besides being super interesting of course.

I drove an ice cream truck one summer. It's fun being the ice cream man.

Every summer (going on 7 years) I am the head cook and food service manager for a boys summer camp in Maine. I plan all the meals, breakfast, lunch, supper, snacks, desert, What goes on the salad bar, bag lunches for canoe trips and mountain hikers. Sunday feasts, B-B-Q's. I cook or oversee 12-15 of the 21 meals per week. My trusty second cook, Mike oversees things when I am not there. It is the most rewarding and enjoyable as well as challenging job I have ever had in my life. My only regret is that it is only for 11 weeks a year.
We have kids and councilors from all over the world and I ask them all what is their favorite ethnic dishes and plan meals around that. Hungarian night was such a huge hit last year!

One summer I was the low man on a 4-man team running line for the new Interstate system. I remember standing on a hill outside a small town and listening as the boss and the transit man discussed which side of town to take and which side to leave.
Another job was my brother and me driving two over-size rock wagons 125 miles in middle-of-the-week traffic.
And my favorite, driving a van in a Bill Clinton motorcade.

Working security when I was in college - I have fun memories from that.
I think going back to back with a Viet Nam Vet (with terrible PTSD) through the basement of a cable making plant looking for a shooter - that's up there. So young and stupid. We weren't armed security.

Working as a Camp Counselor at an Equestrian Camp in Maine. If was rich kids who got put there for the entire Summer (or part of the Summer) while their parents were in exotic locations. We were an overnight camp. I had a cabin with 7 year olds - they are tons of fun. I remember when the horses would decide they wanted a break and headed down to the lake for drink. Nothing like a bunch of horses running past your cabin at 6 am! Yes we had to go get them.

I enjoyed working in Mental Health and the Mobile Team - but I can only tell vague stories from that. There was the time the other counselor I was with said to the Chief of the State Police "I didn't recognize you with your clothes on". Love to watch a guy that size go that red.

Almost always had fun at work.

You have great stories!
