So recently I was at this side job…I have a knack of finding odd fun jobs to do for example I’ve worked:
at a slaughter house
demolishing buildings
and even milking cows…
This got me thinking, damn ive had some different types of jobs through my short
life so far that i thought i might make a list. I hear people all the time saying there's no work, but there's always work if ya know how to find it ...or more to the point, if ya want it.I would never lower my self to a mcjob (added to the oxford dictionary in which mcdonalds opposed against) cleaning toilets or what ever but i have pushed my self to SOME limits. i shall even name the year in which i was doing the specified title. my first job was at 13 and when that started spending money stopped. What i earned was mine which from that day probably gave me the drive to earn money no matter what. If i had none go out and earn it...one way or another XD
87: paper round on thursday and sunday
88: paper round early mornings daily
89: papers mornings, Sundays( which was a separate round) and evenings. Worked in hair dressers washing the towels at the laundry which i dropped off on my way to do the papers. After the papers which i delivered in town, i then cleaned up in a butchers, then dropped the towels off back at the hairdressers on the way home. On a saturday i also cleaned 12 rottweilers kennels out at a farm and had to walk them. This was in the morning after the early papers and between the next delivery and the towels and the butchers shop. I also worked behind a counter in a chinese take away from 7pm till 9 pm 3 nights a week. Friday night i was a punk dj in a pub.
89/90: left school trained to be a butcher which i also started to learn while cleaning so had a better start at college than most. (also won sausage national competitions lol )
90/91 : worked in a slaughter house and part time making wheels on brackets in which you place kitchen appliances on for easy movement. boring but paid. Saturdays loading cookers on lorries.
91/94: I worked in 21 different butchers in this time. It was a well known record in our local town =)
95/98: was spent at her majesty's pleasure XD. I never worked a day and devoted all my time to studying and sport. This was the start of my resurrection to the pc world since my days on a spectrum 48k+ and i did get an A for GCSE in IT at school. I got 8 in total although i hardly went to school in the last 2 years i was excluded from school and no other school would let me in. They gave me the offer of 6 months to do it in and the use of the computer room to do it all on as my writing not the best, in the hours the room was free. I took the chance and got 8 GCSE's all ranging from A-C and one D which i wasn't interested in, which was history which i quite like now =P. Bk to what i studied:
clait
btec in business management
btec in IT
Btec in supervisory management
ok so i came out of there and i could build databases use excel etc but it were not exactly as i planed to do and the only thing hmp was to do was make me a bigger member of the underground society than i ever cared to be. From the age of 13 i was also known as Arthur daily..... a dodgy car dealer. Yeah, i learned how to be a good middle man, a fence they call it these days.
98/99: University to do HND Business IT and Maths
99/2000: Moved 250 miles and found a squat to live in and went to work in an office for an ice-cream supplier.
2000/01: I was in a pub having a few beers and over heard someone selling licenses for machine driving at £150.... il have one of them please. Never drove nothing bigger than a van before and it cant be that hard. Yup it worked and that must be the biggest blag i have pulled this decade. Worked on some big projects, the biggest was building and erecting a copperdam and a flood barrier on the river thames.
02: Sat 2 courses, confined spaces and high pressure jetting and went to work cleaning sewers out. Yeah not everyones cup of tea but theres a well know saying ' where there's muck there's money '
03:plant machine operator. worked with Oxford Archaeological team doing digs on old known Roman and Saxon reservations. Never found any gold coins
Got paid off some guy with a metal detector for info on every site i did so he could visit in the night.04: Sandwich shop owner and a coffee shop owner (yeah i was hoping for new legalizations like in Holland lol) Started pc repair business from home
05: public house tenancy (yup i nearly drank it dry....good job i was busy)
06/07: Just got the pc business still going now and am in the process of taking over a butchers shop.
And during all this time i became good at covering my tracks, counter surveillance, body language...and gained the ability to assess any situation in seconds every where i go. I learned to be a good middle man, how to move in different circles and most of all how to earn money. I have set up companies for people to be able to move shipping containers all around the country without being tagged. I have friends in all walks of life from the main people in each city to solicitors, accountants and many many more. I am more infamously known as ' the lovable rogue '
My time is up now, as you have to look at the advantages and disadvantages of everything. If the bad out weigh the good then don't do it. I am 34 years old and don't want to be spending 20 years in prison so made a clean break and am now trying to be totally legal.
To me i look at this and think i have done more than most people will do in a lifetime all in a short period of time. I have also thought about putting all my energy just to one project but i like to keep my options open. A finger in everyones pie. For everything to work, it has to have a mold whatever it is your doing. If the foundations are week, the project is week. Plan everything and most of all "be good , if ya cant be good, be careful"
peace
. I have always had the hacker mentality mostly in the arena of electronics, more so during that period of my life. I would take something apart and figure out how to make it do things it was not designed to do.
