I can't fancy up a job tutoring kids in college preparatory math
all this college stuff is a pain, I think I rushed through alot of it

what was your first job if you don't mind me asking
Paper Round, plumber's mate, civil servant, mainframe computer operator, bailiff, minicomputer operation, PC Support guy, network support guy, senior pc support guy, networking engineer, senior networking engineer. what fun!#
