This morning while walking I contemplated retirement. I seldom think about it. I'm not sure how a person starts thinking of one thing and ends up somewhere else but it happens to me a lot. Today while contemplating retirement I began thinking about every job that I have ever been paid to do. There are many.
Junior High
Paper boy
Bingo runner
High School
Youth Core
Camp Counselor
College
Custodian
Steel Mill worker - Open Hearth
Camp Counselor
Food Service
While teaching
Sears Mechanic
Land surveyor
Farm Labor
Recreation instructor
Bus driver
School custodian
7th grade teacher
6th grade teacher
Middle School Math Teacher
Attendance supervisor
Bus Supervisor
Football coach
Basketball coach
Gymnastics Coach
Track Coach
While a principal
Plumber's helper
Electrician's helper
Landscaping
Farming, livestock and row crop
Educational Consultant
Staff development instructor
Elementary principal
Middle school principal
High school principal
At-Risk Coordinator
Gifted and Talented Coordinator
Most of these I have done two, three or four at a time. I guess I'll quit thinking about retirement. It tires me out.

Joe Paterno will never retire because he is doing what he loves! Maybe you could go back to where it all started.....Bingo Runner. (I never knew that)
ReplyDeleteOther things I never knew: Sears Mechanic, Land Surveyor, GYMNASTICS COACH (Really?! Villotti and Chow Gymnastics doesn't sound right)
Things That are fitting: Plumber's helper (Perfect backside view), Electricians Helper (Everything you own is held together by electrical and duct-tape)
Thinks you missed: Gardner, Vet, Psychologist, Writer, and DAD.
ThinkLikeYour6 has some great points. You're not ready to retire yet. On another note, I can attest to the duct tape although gorilla glue comes in a close second.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful to have you as my father-in-law, and I look forward to spending some quality time with you. I hope we can get around there soon...
