How many jobs have you had?

Post by BoB76 »

I met a guy today in his mid 40's who says he has had 178 different jobs. Some he has quit others he has been fired from. He told me the record number is 238 and he is thinking he may be able to beat the record. Later in the day he got fired. :fried: I had a good laugh. So how many jobs have you had??

I got Married because I was sick and tired of finishing my own sentences.

Are we counting simultaneous jobs during highschool and/or college?

What does he have to look forward to now that he is retired?? I see retirement as the end of the road. You become fat and lazy and just take up space.

So....what? When you retire you should just die???

So that you don't "take up space?"

Why the hell bothering working then?? Maybe we should all just pull the pin right now... :ohmygod:

Gee Bob, some people retire and get old and cranky.

Glad to see you are getting a good head start on that!

No, the retirees worked to support themselves in retirement, and if you do a good job you can retire at 55 like I did! While you can enjoy it!

You will learn that if you ever grow up!

Wow you saved up some money did you?? Did you by chance work at some slack government job? If so I am supporting you. Either way my tax money is supporting your aging butt so get off your high horse and get back to reality. If it makes you feel any better you once supported seniors too. And I also will be supported by the younger generation when I get all senile and crazy.

All our butts are aging at the same rate.
Bsuds is neither senile nor crazy. (I've met him and I am qualified to do mental health assessments due to my work.)
There's no need to be rude.

Number of jobs I've had...about 6, with varied work assignments within the same workplace at times.
It's possible to do all the right things and still get a bad result.

As of college graduation, 3 jobs and a moonlight. Bartended for 2-1/2 years and worked for a few months at a lumber at the same time. Then Canadian Tire for just over 2 years. Then just over 16 years in jail.
