I used to work in the umm... I guess the professional term was Reprographics industry. Which is a fancy way of saying copying and scanning. But this wasn't like kinkos or anything. It was large scale and these places worked exclusively for some of the largest law firms in Chicago.
I learned that law firms love to copy shit because it was all billable. Some cases were literally hundreds of boxes of documents.
I got to see all kinds of neat stuff. Divorce stuff fom some ex-Bulls and Bears players which included all their personal info, check stubs, old credit cards, bank statements, (one had insurance on 12 cars) Police reports on murders, with crime scene photos, Job accident stuff with photos (there was a nasty one where this guy got his head caught between some equipment and it smushed his head into a weird oval shape and he died on his feet with his head stuck there) some insurance stuff (some gruesome motorcycle accident) a surprising number of cases where entire families were killed by small space heaters and one funny case where a guy was suing his employer for wrongful termination so they decided to print out the 300 or so gigs of hardcore porn images that he had saved on his company computer all neatly arranged into folders. Pretty much a little bit of everything.
The pay and conditions were not that good, but there were still a bunch of good times.

I worked as a camp counselor for a camp located on an island where kids would stay for two weeks in log cabins.
The job was so much fun because all the other counselors were cool as fuck. Plus it was when I lived with my parents so it was awesome to get away for two months and just chill out in the summer with food and board.
Sometimes the kids were annoying though. I remember during third term (the two months were spilt into 4 terms where the kids would stay for 1 term) my cabin was full of black and white gangsters who where obsessed with 50 Cent. My other counselor and I would crank 90's rock like Smashing Pumpkins and STP and they would bitch and nag and call us old.
But besides that it was a great experience.

I'll start it up again when I have a chance. In the mean time Green Lantern why don't you go back to hosting one of your games or showdowns- oh that's right...

My current job is probably the best. I design interior office manifestation and signage. Basically I play on Illustrator and Photoshop all day. I have a job working for Coca-Cola at the moment, it's pretty damn cool.
It's just the pay that sucks, I feel I should be getting much much more for what I'm doing.
