What kinds of jobs have you had?
Of course my first job was farming and mainly feeding and milking cows, feeding the other animals, irrigating the farm, weeding the garden, cutting, raking, baling, hauling and stacking the hay and whatever else there needed to be done.
The next job I had and official one where I was paid for the work was at the Texaco station pumping gas from 10 PM to 6 AM every day for the entire summer before I went to college. I then worked for the school district for short periods of time when home from school delivering groceries to the school and during the summer mowing football field and other various things. I also worked for Jack Skewes building fence around a mobile home park at the mouth of Indian Canyon in Duchesne. I went on my mission and then came back directly into college where I worked for the Electronics lab. I again worked for the school district when home for winter break. After graduation and marriage I worked for a TV repair company called American Television Service. I worked there for three years before leaving due to broken promises by the boss for a raise and was unemployed for about three months before applying and being hired by Signetics Corp of Utah as a maintenance tech. Signetics shut down in Dec and had announced the closure back in April so for a time I worked two jobs, graveyard at Signetics and dayshift at Kara Chocolates where I ran a truffle molding plant. I quit there again due to promises from the bosses that were not met. They had asked me to work a graveyard shift and promised to have enough chocolate to keep me busy all night. Well I had enough to keep me busy one half hour, I had worked graveyard for them several times with the same conditions and knew it was time to find new employment. I was unemployed for several months as I studied insurance sales and received my Insurance and Securities licenses. However I was not a salesman and started trying to make a living from my photography at that point but had a reputation of inexpensive prices since I had not had to depend on it for a living so I continued to go deeper into debt. I also worked for several months building safes for Fort Knox Safes. It is a locally owned gun safe company owned by the TJ James . I installed pins in the doors and put in the shelves and carpet. I quit when my photography had me missing too many days to be fair to TJ. During those years I also rewrote the Timberline (Junior Leader Training) manual for the Utah National Parks Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
I then worked for Anderson Cabinet and Mantel as a cabinet finisher. I had actually taken Hayden there following his mission to get a job for him but Brett needed someone full time and so I started working for him instead. That lasted three years until Brett bought a house and spent more time there than getting jobs and I began working only a few hours a week so I took Loren to Provo Craft since there was an ad for work in the paper that Marie had seen and he had just graduated from school and needed a job until his mission. I ended up working for Provo Craft rather than Loren because they needed someone for full time and more than just a few weeks or months. I had worked there for seven years and two months and 10 days before a restructuring of the company made me a part of a reduction in force. Back to photography until I find my next job.
