    1. Re: [ARMSTRONG] Chosen Occupations.
    2. Speaking of occupations I've had my share. When I was 16 I babysat for the last couple years of high school. I worked in a fruit and vegetable cannery after graduation. I was a mother of one daughter and believe that was one of the hardest jobs I've had. I worked as a dishwasher and as a cashier in a store at the same time by the way. These were all in Arizona. I worked for the Disabled Vets Thrift Store and at the Goodwill Industries as a sorter and putting the price on large items like couches. And a couple more canning companies. I worked at a couple of places that made insulated windows. I cut bar and screen for meshing screens and meshed them. And am currently working for the County here as a custodian which I have been on the job for 18 years. These are all in Oregon. In New York I worked for Durkey O&C and make potato sticks and french fried onion rings. I also worked as a cashier for a second hand store there. In Iowa I worked for a nursing home while I attended school. This next August I will be retiring and at least one year I am going to sit on my you know what. I may look for something to do as I get bored easily and can't stand to be idle. But I figure I owe myself one year. At that time I will be 58 years old. I rarely ever quit a job. The only reason I did was to move. All the others were lay off because of seasonal work and the rest went belly up where I lived. I'm a jack of all trades you give me a job and I will work. Deloris
