Re: [FairfieldLife] Jobs That Suck
Jobs That Suck There are probably lots of jobs out there that suck, really suck. Like, cleaning out chicken coops in the hot summer; or laying hot black tar onto a rooftop of a commercial building; or jobs where you had to put up with jerks at work and a fat, bald headed guy that smokes a cigar. Rita used to be a Cad Drafter for Gibson Guitar in Long Beach. But, you know what they say: You don't have to like your boss, just do what he says. One of the first jobs I had after college in 1966 was as a graphic designer at Pacific Mutual Life in Newport Beach - the first company west of the Mississippi River to use the brand new technology called Univac I. At that time, the art department used a drafting table, T-square and a VariTyper for type setting. It would be years before I got my first desk-top computer. But, I used to watch the tapes spin in the computer room. At the time, I was living in Venice Beach at 405 Howland Canal. One spring day I decided to quit working at the insurance company because the job sucked and I had a real bad case of spring-fever. So, on a Friday I got my pay check and went home - and never went back. Didn't say anything to anyone, just didn't come back, never called. Just like that - sweet! They probably wondered what happened to me. Go figure. [image: Inline image 1] In the basement of Pacific Life with the printers 1965.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Jobs That Suck
I think my dad decided I had it too easy just playing for dances on weekends and making more money than my high school peer did working at burger shacks after school so he decided I should work in wheat harvest. So for two weeks I got to get up too early in the morning crawl under a WWII surplus truck and oil it. Then drive the thing around during the hot August summer and wait for the combine to fill the truck and then drive it to the grain elevator. Talk about a dirty job. Towards the end of the two weeks I blew the engine in the truck which upset the farmer. That was until something went wrong with the combine and surprisingly I was the only one who knew how to fix it. Needless to say the fact that I blew the engine in the truck was quickly forgotten.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Jobs That Suck
Thanks, Ann, I called my best friend who LOVES FB and her SO answered and he walked me through unfriending. And explained about Front Page and Timeline. So I'm taking baby steps with it. But really, so far, I don't like it very much. It seems too complicated. But maybe I'll change my mind. Meanwhile I'll use email and posts!
