What's the oddest job you've ever had?

brianlux · September 2016

I have had a quite a few different jobs (pretty much living out my life by a phrase I once read that says, "Specialization is for ants") but I think the most unusual job was being held by a harness and walking along the top of a Boeing 727 jet and cleaning it with a mop.

What's oddest job you've ever held?

What is a Pog stand, 2-feign?

By the way, my comment, "Specialization is for ants", is certainly no put-down on ants. Ants are some of the most important creatures on earth. If ants and all the social insect in the world were to suddenly disappear, ecosystems would fall into chaos and almost all, if not all, mammals would dies off within weeks. Specialization is important! I've just never had that kind of singular focus.

My current job. I am a Representative Payee for the mentally ill. It has its ups and downs, but it's definitely the best and most rewarding job I've ever had. There is never a dull moment. Just when I think I've heard everything; something new, intense and wild comes along. I'm never bored.

Working for porn magazines (not as a model) would be my oddest.

@brianlux
A small cart in the mall that sold Pogs - located near the Taco Bell & Piercing Pagoda (where I had my ears & nose done!).
Pogs were a 90s thing...
