You learn

This one comes from Alanis Morissette.

When I was 5, I got the other kids to help.me wash cars for $0.50. I learned that money meant something. I had already watched several hours on advanced economics when I was 4.

This is what I did with it.

215 IQ.

From there, I retired until I was 13 and got a paper route. Then I started working construction with my dad.

That led right until I went into the Air Force at 17.

After 4 years I had a couple jobs before I landed at ITI Marketing. I was a phone rep, customer service representative,  CSR.

I got 3 promotions in 1 year and 3 weeks.

I was a manager at 23. I’m 50 now.

After a divorce i moved back to Chico.  I figured I was 24 and I could start my life over.

Theme.

I got a job at Rays Video on Walnut.  Stayed there for a year before I started at El Rey, a theater. I got the job just before Episode one came out.  For those who are not nerds, Star Wars The Phantom Menace.

The first Star Wars movie to come our in years, i got to see it a week before it opened.

Then I worked with my dad again.

Then I got 2 jobs. Sears and Kmart. 

Then I started at United Healthcare. 

I was a rep then became a supervisor. 

I trained the trainees on how to do something. Everyone knew me.

I took my float time, the time I floated around the office. I did this because I knew people who worked in other departments. 

I could find out what our side could do better.

I took that to my supervisor meeting.

My director was impressed.

I got the chance to redesign the operations model for customer service.

Everywhere that has customer service uses the model I created over 20 years ago.

These are the facts.

Then I went to Blue Shield. I nearly had a nervous breakdown.  It was such a negative workplace. It stemmed from the top.

Then I moved and got a job at T-Mobile. 

Then I got divorced.

Then I moved back to Chico. 

Then it was the assistant manager job at Blockbuster.

Then Clean Rite.

Then I became the house spouse. I got a  couple jobs throughout that.  Night manager at Chico Yellow Cab, Toys R Us and a janitor job.

Then I got divorced. 

Then, I started taking care of my dad. Did that for 7 years.

Then I went to Nevada and got a job at Tesla. Worst place i have ever worked.

Then I got a security job.

Then I moved back to Chico.

Started with interim health, and I stayed there for over a year getting 13 hours a day barely surviving.

Then I got the Walmart job.

215 IQ and i don’t understand why anyone wants a career.
